I've also purchased from MBok once as well. I use a service called Rinkya, who works very well but they are not cheap to help my bid/buy from those Japan sites and importing into the US.

I've also had maybe 5-10 transactions with Japanese sellers on eBay (USA site) and all went swimmingly with respect to shipping time and shipping fees.
