i have paid by money order and I live in toronto. you send the money order to a USA address, so that you don't pay a currency exchange fee if you had to send it to japan. it takes about a week and a half for the US postal to deliver the money order, then you wait a few days and then your items are shipped. it was pretty simple. Canada charges a lot for customs on my order cause I ordered a lot of kits. all and all, the total with shipping and customs still saved me money from buying it at the stores here in ontario.
