Yes, it is possible for you to purchase tour goods from overseas. You have to be willing to pay a bit extra for the middleman services though. [The only other ways are to go yourself or have someone buy it for you that goes~]

Celga and JapanToDoor offer these services.. I will walk you through a Celga purchase, since I have a lot of experience with them. They're very quick and easy to use! You also need a Paypal account to work with them.

So, a T-shirt costs around 3500 yen, so you would then e-mail this form to them:
Quote:
1. The URL/item no./size
2. Item price
3. Your full name
4. Your address, including telephone number
5. Notification that you have deposited 100% of the item price in USD to paypal@celga.com

Our current standard exchange rate is 101¥ = $1. For more information on this equation, please see the Exchange Rate Info page. Please note that all order values are rounded up to the nearest dollar.
And then wait for a confirmation e-mail saying that they've purchased the item. Then, there are a variety of fees that are charged [Shipping within Japan to their warehouses, a markup fee [that's how they stay in business], and shipping to you]~

So the total will end up to be around..

3500yen + $10 markup + $5 dollar shipping from mu-mo to their warehouses + $2 bank fee + $10-20 dollar shipping to you = 61.00 - 71.00 USD.

It costs about double, but that's the price you have to pay to get goods.. :[
