Must have penguin ice cubes!
October 4, 2011 8:56 AM   Subscribe

I want these ice cube makers, but I don't speak Japanese and I live in the US. Anyone know of a US source? If not, how much are they actually? Can anyone tell if either of these companies will ship to the US?

I used Chrome to translate those sites. The first company link I find:

"We do not ship overseas.
Is available only for customers who will be living with Japan."

The second, their shipping charges describe Japanese locations only.

Good luck,
chuck

If you really really want it, there exist a number of services that will buy locally from Japan and ship it to you for a premium. Google for 'Japan Shopping Service'.

Here's an example of a service that illustrates that something costing 8,400 yen might be 13,000 yen to buy locally and ship to the US.

I've gotten quotes but not purchased through this site: http://www.japangoodsfinder.com/. They seemed to have quick turn around and were easy to communicate with in english. You give them a product to to find and they send you a paypal invoice which you can pay or not if you still want the item.

I thought I had seen these from Neatorama. Guess not, but they do have other ice cube trays.
