Just to clarify, if you're in the US it *might* be cheaper to buy from EK while he has them on special because I'm not sure how much EK charges to ship to people in the US.
For me in Australia though I am charged $40-50 for shipping so it was much more cost effective to order from PFU.
PFU will ship your item for free to your Japanese address that you receive when you register on Tenso (which is free).
The total fee I paid to Tenso for sending my items (HHKB and a wrist rest) to Australia via EMS with tracking was 4180yen.
So let's say round up to 30,000 yen for an HHKB + 4180 yen for the shipping, my grand total was 34,180 yen which is roughly $420 AUD ($430 USD). Bear in mind the shipping could possibly have been cheaper because remember I got the wrist rest as well which may have bumped up the fee due to the extra weight.
Your shipping fee from Tenso may vary slightly but I think for most of the world it's probably cheaper to buy from PFU.
