There are a lot of shipping barriers due to living on an island. Does a Costco Japan membership ship to Okinawa? Are the shipping rates to ship here very expensive?
Ikea Japan was going to charge around 50,000 yen to ship one piece of furniture to Okinawa. Wondering if it’s the same case for Costco Japan.

Yes and yes.
Source: I have membership, tried both Tokyo and Fukuoka locations when I traveled. Online is also expensive shipping.
Do you mean from costco online shop? Most items are priced up a bit to include shipping, however it looks like it adds “delivery surcharge” to an okinawa address. I added a few random bits to cart, and surcharge was anywhere between 300 to 1200 yen per several line items (maybe boxes?)
The reason ikea wanted that much is sometimes they ship directly from EU using fedex or some other crazy thing, and for furniture that gets expensive really quick.
