Via international express, I put in an order once on Friday and got in on
Monday. Mostly I just order air mail from them and it takes about 7 days
on average. I've done various orders and love their service. The packing
is also really good. I usually order a minimum of two books and even with
airmail you'll save youself a load of money by not shopping locally.

There is another one near Tokyo station somewhere but I haven't been
there in about 5 years so I can't recall the name. I usually go to 
Kinokuniya in Shinjuku if I feel the need...
