Cheapest Way to Transfer Money, US to Japan Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I found a company in Japan that is willing to ship parts directly to me rather than going through a distributor here in the US that marks up list price and charges double shipping and a few other random charges.

They only accept wire transfers. No, this isn't one of these scam companies. It's a VERY reputable Japanese tuning company. So I would like to know what is the cheapest way to transfer funds from my personal US bank account to their Japanese business account. I already tried Western Union and they apparently don't do wire transfers to Japan.

They work directly with Toyota. Like TRD. I spoke with guys at their headquarters. I guess you can never be too careful. I'll find out if they can do PayPal. If they can't, does anyone know the cheapest place to do wire transfer, besides my banks $50 rape-charge?

Most manufactures that deal directly with toyota wouldn't sell to you unless have a resellers license. Once you get one, they normally do payment via purchase order (PO). Whats the name of the company, and how much are you planning to send them?
