Experience JP Shoppers

[twlih]

Hi,
A friend of mine will be going to Japan for work and he will help me to bring
rackets back to the States.
Since he is busy with work and not familiar at all with racket purchase,
I will have to purchase from the Japanese internet stores.
The problem is most of the stores dont take credit cards. What other
option do I have?
Is there any store near the Narita or Yokohamo subway station?
Also when bringing in JP racket to the States, will he encounter some
problem with customs and airline luggage policy(hand carry)?

Any experience shopper out there?
Thank U,
Please advice.

I think you can use bank transfer besides cash, but you might want to ask first.

The problem will be depending on how many rackets. If it's just like 5, it would be OK since I transfer my flights via Osaka and Tokyo every year. But if it's like many many items and rackets (ie: 50 rackets and 50 shuttles), then you will have to deal with them.
