do not tell me fedex or USPS they suck, any other suggestions ?

Go to the Japanese Rakuten site and get set with a legit EMS account. They also list some legit in-between shipping companies for sellers that require a Japanese address (most of the ones with the good deals do). Be warned though some of these companies charge upwards of %15 for the service and any savings derived from buying your parts or whatever directly from Japan is usually thrown right out the window.

Ha I just realized this is my first post, hope it was helpful.

Also just realized that you are already in Japan, so that last bit is totally unnecessary...but yeah EMS

Shipping within Japan?

I usually use Sagawa, Black Cat or Nittsu.

what issues do you have with USPS? Ive been using them for like 9 years shipping stuff to the US and havent had an issue.

Like mentioned there is EMS but that can get expensive depending on weight.

and like MADE mentioned. But they only cater to domestic shipping.

For domestic shipping I prefer Yamato (Black Cat)

It sounds like you are talking within Japan so, yeah, the main ones mentioned - Yamato or Sagawa. No experience with Nittsu.

For international, JP Post is where it's at.
