Tenso

So I was looking around for some FumoFumo plush for my girlfriend - one of the links that came up was Tokyu Hands. At the bottom of the page there was an ad (in English) for Tenso.

Tenso, it turns out, is an overseas forwarding service that allows you to use their address when checking out.

Fee-wise it's not bad, and better if you're one of the first 10,000 people that sign up (which is 50% off):

Weight

Charge
Up to 1kg
yen: 1000 → 490

Up to 1～3kg
yen: 1500 → 980

Up to 3～5kg
yen: 2500 → 1580

Up to 5kg～10kg
yen: 4000 → 1980

Up to 10kg～20kg
yen: 6000 → 2980

Up to 20kg～30kg
yen: 8000 → 3980

That plus EMS looks like it's not a bad deal and frees you up somewhat from some of the other services.
