Well, my experience is as follows...

I'm in Canada
Modelexpress.net was great. Cost to ship, and all sales taxes shown on site, and accurate. Quick shipping.
Ebay.com - bought one kit from the US. Cost to ship was low, and there were no customs charges.
HLJ - two orders. One about 2400 yen, the other 3500. Both had an additional $6-$8 for customs assessed.
HobbySearch - two orders, about the same size as the HLJ orders. Save 5% off Japan MSRP right off the bat, and both orders came with no additional customs fees.

If I need to order from Japan, it'll definitely be through 1999.co.jp from now on... at least until the free customs holds up...
