There's also mailbox services "Category Japanese Term(s) Description & Use Case Private Mailbox 私設私書箱 (Shisetsu Shishobako) - Private mailbox Provides you with a legal mailing address in Japan. This is useful for privacy, for people moving around, or those who need a separate address for online purchases. They can hold mail and forward it to a new domestic address on request. Key Companies: MyLetter.jp (マイレター・ドット・ジェイピー), PostCast (ポストキャスト), J-address." - from Gemini. Might need a Japanese phone number and etc.

Most of what I purchase in Japan can be found year round online, excepting seasonality, so generally isn't really worth a holding & consolidation fees but people who are into collectibles might want to see what other collectors are doing.
Thanks!

I think they operate under the scheme of you buying and shipping directly to them in Japan and they ship items to you.

I think some of the web sites in Japan require a "Japan-based" account holder - I would not be able to provide a Japanese phone number.
