They are a business that specializes in importing car parts, but can bring in anything you want via ems/airmail. The real killer would be their commission, which is a minimum of 2500yen or 20% of the purchase price, whichever is greater, so I could only recommend them for large purchases.

Yeah, when I used to teach adult evening classes I had one student who wanted to learn Japanese so that he could import car parts on his own -- but he also said that when he had previously imported parts, the instructions etc. were all in Japanese anyway. :D

Translation of the translation service on the web is no doubt at all I
(^that's what I got from an online translator after punching in "Cos online translators are never wrong" in Japanese, lol :))

I use www.noppin.com

gives you access to do the bidding yourself via a proxy site. however you need to do a deposit for bidding and then claim it after you pay for your won items.
