Why these chocolates are just 'magical'.

Y'know, in Japan, Valentine's Day is when boys receive chocolate. Should've aimed this a month later on White Day when girls receive choco.

I updated the article with links! (sorry) I'm actually not 100% sure about food items, but I think Premium Bandai ships internationally. And since these chocolates don't need to be shipped frozen, maybe they're okay?
Can anyone else confirm this?

You could use a proxy to get these I'm sure. I'm not sure about Bandai japan shipping outside of japan.
It would depend on what country you are in and what laws you have on certain food items. I'm from Canada so chocolate would be considered a snack and it fine to ship. But I can't speak for all countries. I know USA is the same as Canada.

A lot of women are giving chocolate to women nowadays, because they have more female friends in their lives than men. So, it would not be weird for a female friend give another a sailor moon choco.
As for Madoka maybe too, while I read it as a full canon queer story, there's people who see it as a strong friendship (being themadoka and homura relationship) so it's not so off topic either.

That's why I chose the word "receive" instead of "give" - doesn't matter who gives it.

The guy might look creeped out if he received a magical girl chocolate. Unless he is an otaku and likes them too. LOL.

According to the info guide on delivery, Premium Bandai actually doesn't offer international shipping by itself (except for specific Asian countries linked to Hong Kong, in which they have an alternate English-language site set up specifically for them), but you can buy many of their products through third-party shopping services, most of which are Paypal-only.
That said, I've used third-party shopping services before. Don't expect your food to be in the greatest condition when it arrives without paying a fortune. And that's assuming the food you get isn't susceptible to temperature conditions (chocolate can melt) or spoiling over a long period of time (up to a few months, at most). Either way, third-party shopping services take a while longer than usual, so don't expect the most attractive service out of them.
Source: The website linked in the article, my Japanese, and my experience with third-party shopping services (which I still use, BTW--they're just probably not the best for shipping food...).
