I use Tenso. It does cost alot of money, but not hundreds of euros per year.
You'll get items from TA about 4, MAYBE 5 times a year, without much real schedule - usually there's stuff in the spring and at the very end of the year for new year's/xmas. (Tenso will hold things for up to two months though, so it's worth waiting awhile - if a TA mag or a novelty gets sent to you, wait for that 2-month span to see if she releases a TA novelty item within that 2 months.)
A TA issue plus, say, a greeting card will cost you about 12 euros to ship from Tenso by itself, so if you ship each item to you as it comes, it ends up being about 70 euros for the year maximum, less if you're able to consolidate things (consolidation fees aren't much as long as you don't consolidate more than 3-4 packages per Tenso shipment).
I use my Tenso PO box for mu-mo, book-off, amazon.co.jp, and other purchases as well, too, so if I need anything, I've made it a habit to wait & order stuff from those places only right after a TA mag or novelty comes out, and then I save on the shipping overall.
