Amazon Japan has instruction on how to Order Items Using Convenience Store Pickup

There is a Lawson in Terminal 1 central building 5th floor. It is among the restaurants and food court. You will need to go to the Loppi kiosk and enter the codes from your Amazon order e-mail. The kiosk will print a receipt which you present to the cashier, who will retrieve the package from their locker. See Pick Up a Package at Lawson
This looks like a possible option, thank you! Just so I'm clear (because the Narita website is not), I can remain airside and arrive from TPE, clear transit security, go back to the 4th floor departures level and then take an elevator or escalator to the 5th level to visit Lawson - or is Lawson outside the secure area in the same zone as the check-in desks (just upstairs)?

If it's outside the secure area, which of the following procedures would I need to follow:

A)
from TPE inbound, clear transit security, go to 4th floor, enter ANA lounge, store bags, then find an exit path to Japan immigration/customs, enter Japan (no bags), go to the central building and Lawson, take my package, and then go back through departure security, passport control and back to the ANA lounge?

B)
from TPE inbound, clear Japan immigration/customs with bags, go to Lawson, back through departure security, passport control (with two new stamps, about 20 minutes between entry/exit for giggles) and then to the ANA lounge? I guess with option A) or B) I can have a friend meet me outside the secure area for lunch and chat before I go back inside.
