What speakers could you possibly want that bad that would be worth shipping all the way from Japan?!

Well it seems they might only need to be shipped to Jakarta.
Many have bought from Yahoo Japan using buyee or some other 'handler'
Someone will come in and describe their experience. You should talk to one of these companies and see about shipping costs and packing they will do. Most have good experiences.

I've bought a pair of speakers and various speaker parts from Yahoo Japan using Buyee as a proxy bidder. No problems at all. My items were packed extremely well and arrived much quicker than domestic shipping. My only beef with Yahoo Japan is that most sellers act dumb about what they're selling and claim that everything is "junk" so if it's broken your SOL.

I have! I bought a pair of the tinie-tiny all metal Marantz LS-53s, part of the "James Bond" Marantz Stereo. I shipped them to my buddy in Tokyo and he hand delivered them to me. Most items are listed as "junk," then the seller doesn't need to accept returns. I've had excellent service and any issues were resolved to my benefit.

That's not what the OP was asking and your reply adds nothing.
As @Blue Shadow mentioned, shipping to Jakarta Indonesia from Japan might not be that big of a stretch

Well he did ask if anyone had bought any speakers from there. I’ll admit I missed that he was from Jakarta. So is he was from let’s say St Louis I was curious as to what speaker could possibly be worth paying some outlandish shipping charge to ship it half way around the world.

I've brought a couple of 'small' bookshelf Coral ( B-2X, and FX-1) speakers from Yahoo auctions, via the Buyee proxy bidding service, shipping to the UK was actually pretty reasonable at around £60 for the smaller B-2X's, and £110 for the FX-1's.

If you win the auction you'll have to pay for the item plus various fees. Then they'll send the item to the Buyee warehouse in Japan where it'll be weighed and measured to give you the exact amount of the shipping costs. You'll get an email declaring the measurements and shipping costs and you're given the chance to agree to the costs and pay them. If you don't agree to the shipping costs you don't have to pay them but you'll lose whatever money you have already paid for the item's. It's a strange way of doing business but it works.
