:mwahaha:






does that qualify as a post?

do you want just the box, or box and food in it...? :headscratch:

You can have bentou boxes from JList (Bentou section). As for one with food in it, I don't think it's possible. You can't even cross the Canada-USA border with a hot-dog and they're probably made and package at the same place. :crazy2:

Unless you want your bentou quarantine for 40 days, I wouldn't recommend it. ;)

yeah, i was going to mention jlist.com too... i've ordered from them before...luckily the asian markets around me have bento boxes there.

Never had problems with JList. They ship fast and you don't have to pay taxes and custom fees. :mrgreen:

yeah, my buddy bought a case of those Rhoto Z eyedrops. :hehe:

Ahh thanks. :D

And I didn't need any food in the bento. :sweat:
I'd be afraid if the food was bad by the time it arrived..

No problems. :victory:

@krim Oh yeah the minty eyedrops... It must burn like crazy. :sweat:

So you just need the box, ne? :headscratch:

Try Mitsuwa or Marukai, if there's one around.....
