Banks are like other business : they offer differant
services for differant prices. Nothing prevent you from
looking at several banks and choose the one that offer
the best services/prices.
There is absolutly no reason why a wire transfer should
be expensive. So if your bank asks you $40 for it, it's
the fault of the bank and not of the person who want to
be paid in that way. Just change from bank...

Assuming that your job will let you do that ! If I was
not working 2 days per week from my home, I know that I
couldn't : I have to take a train at 7am to go to the
office (post office isn't yet open) and I come back at
7pm (post office already closed).

Hum! How many language do you speak your self ? Don't
you think that it's a little hard to ask to someone
to learn a foreign language just to be able to sell
you more easly a few things ? Pocket is not a shop
or company... Did you try to e-mail them in japanese ? :)

PS: For info, doing a wire transfer if I go to my bank,
costs me the same as a postal money order : $8.-  If
I do it from the computer, that costs me $3.-
