Not sure if you know this, but not uncommonly, non-English-speaking countries, like Japan, don't offer international shipping.

After learning some very simple Japanese, I developed a good relationship with a Japanese record store in the '00s via letters to get each of the very small runs of CDs that Office Augusta used to do (they didn't make it available digitally in the West until well into the '10s). Would get some great additional records gifted from smaller and far more obscure indie artists. Was amazing. Couldn't use cards with their payment system, so paying was a complicated affair, but absolutely worth the fuss.
