1. japan post ems

   around 4000 for a small box 1kg or so.

   Also, don’t forget to do the EAD (Electronic Advanced Data) it’s a requirement by U.S.If you don’t, they will make you make you go home and do it, or open your box, describe each item, weigh, etc. and it’s going to take a long ass time there.

   You can do it via Japan Post website by registering.

2. Go to the post office, bring your box, fill the paper, ask price by delivery options, choose, pay, and leave.

   You can also do that on JP post website and order a pick up from your place.

3. Create a label at https://www.int-mypage.post.japanpost.jp/mypage/M010000.do

   print it out or make a QR code to print out at post office.

   put stuff in box.

   take box to post office w/label

   pay + send.

   you can also ask to pickup.

4. I use Yamato Takyubin

   About 2500 / kg rounded up.
