Shipping Cost from Osaka to Monrovia

Shipping from Japan to the US varies widely by weight, size, speed, and carrier, ranging from a few dollars for small, light items via Japan Post (e.g., ¥280 for 50g) to over $100 for heavy boxes, with options like EMS (fast, pricey) or SAL/Surface (slow, cheap), and couriers like FedEx/DHL offering faster but potentially volumetric rates. Expect costs like $20-$40 for small hobby orders and $200+ for larger/heavier shipments.

Using a company like forward2me gives you a Japanese shipping address and lets you ship your favourite Japanese brands and items around the world. Buy rare items you can't find anywhere else or shop on Japanese sites that don't offer international shipping.

Shipping things home from Japan is super easy, though a little expensive. Still, if you have a bunch of souvenirs that you can't fit into your bag or don't want to drag around with you, then it's a good option for getting things home again!
