Hi! I’m wanting to order something of the Japanese The North Face site because this jacket is a Japan-exclusive release. The problem is that TNF only delivers this jacket in Japan.
So does anyone know how I could overcome this problem and get it to Belgium (without spending a crazy amount of money).
Thanks in advance!

You’re going to spend a crazy amount of money whether you want to or not.
I order most stuff with FromJapan.
Shipping can be pretty expensive at the moment if you don’t want to wait for weeks.
With a proxy service. There is plenty and they will charge you a service fee, which varies from service to service. You’ll pay for your item + shipping + service fees.
Keeping in mind though, that the exchange rate is on *your* side. 1,000 yen is only 6.80 Euros. 10,000 yen is 68 Euros. If they charge in USD it’s a straight 1:1. $100 USD is 100 Euros.
Surprised no one has mentioned [Rakuten Global Express](https://globalexpress.rakuten.co.jp/?lang=en) yet. It’s probably the cheapest option by far due to scalability. You can also combine shipping between different vendors with no additional fees.
[Rakuten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakuten) is basically Japanese Amazon, and is the official sponsor of FC Barcelona and the Golden State Warriors of the NBA
