For example... the mail forwarding service that I use is tenso.com

When you sign up with them they give you an address, (sort of like a P.O. Box address) and you use that initially when you order from Japanese webshops. When your items arrive to the tenso address, you pay them the international shipping cost + tenso fee (usually about 500 yen I think). FYI some problems I've noticed with using tenso are:
- you can only use EMS shipping which is pretty expensive (but fast!)
- you can only consolidate/combine packages once... so if you have several items coming at once, make sure you wait til they all arrive and combine them together.

I hope that makes sense
