Where You Can Buy Kigu & How
This sticky is intended to be a launch pad for your purchase of a kigurumi. It'll show you who ships worldwide and who does not, the price range for several popular shops, a few translation services, and there's even a little tutorial (or rather several small ones) regarding how to use a courier/shopping service. (Those're for the paces that don't ship internationally.
Hopefully the info answers many of your questions.

Website Translation Services
So you've found a website with a rare kigu... but you just can't read Japanese! Or better yet, you're on Gmarket, and you just cannot match up the characters for 'penguin' with anything in the dropdown selection box.
What to do!! D: Why, translate, of course. cool Below are a few useful sites.
• Babelfish Website Translator
• The Google Translator does webpages and words/phrases.
•The Japanese Dictionary Service translates words and phrases.
• Rakuten Website Translator (Simply enter the URL and select the second bubble for both options, unless you want to see the English and the original text, don't change the second option's bubble.)

Courier/Shopping Services & How to Use (Some of) Them
(A '♥' indicates a Gaian kigurumin has used the service)
So you've arrived at Rakuten, or Babosarang and cannot believe that they don't ship internationally. Luckily, there're people that can get what you'd like to you by being the middle man in the exchange. These are courier/shopping/shipping services.
They have an office within the country a store ships to, and acting as the go-between, will order for you and the send the item(s) to you at your behest. Some even allow you to bid on Yahoo!Japan auctions. Anyway, here're the services.
(For Japanese Sites)
• Celga ♥ (Instructions in 'Shopping' under 'FAQ')(Y! Japan Bidding!)
• Crescent Shop (Instructions in 'How to Order' under 'Shopping Service') (Y! Japan Bidding!)
• Rakuten's Shipping Service ♥ (Instructions in 'General Instructions' and 'How to Shop') (Y! Japan Bidding!)
• Rinkya (Instructions halfway down the page) (Y! Japan Bidding!)
(For Korean Sites)
• Reina's Korean Shopping Service (Instructions are right on homepage)
• YangYangGo Korean Shopping Service (Instructions are right on homepage)
