Japan - 4 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
I don't know the cost, but I've heard this is a really bad idea (from all sorts of Study Abroad meetings/horror stories.) Sometimes, the laptop can cost more money than the laptop itself because of fees that ensue over shipping, but mostly from the fact that they may charge you money to retrieve the laptop. (This applies to laptops exclusively, from what I understand...) Anyway, I don't know if that helps at all, but if all possible maybe you could just take the laptop with you out of the country.
Answer 2 :
Usually with shipping and handling costs, it's much cheaper to buy the laptop in Japan (Japan has far more advanced and faster technology than the west) Costs could be anywhere from 120 - 300 but these are my own approximations
Answer 3 :
Like $60 or so. I regularly use EMS and SAL service to ship things from Japan, though it really depends on how heavy whatever it is you're trying to ship is, how fast you want it to get there, how much insurance is covered, whether or not its business related (tariff)..
Answer 4 :
90 cents an ounce, airmail...Do the math
