I used Taobao Focus and had a good experience.

Fast shipping to me in the US once it got to their warehouse in China.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I asked amos5606 if he would act as a proxy and ship me some Topre keycaps. The guy is just plain awesome. He ordered them moments after I sent him the payment and kept me updated right up to the point when they were shipped. The shipping costs came out to be less than what he anticipated so he even refunded me $5 even though I told him not to worry about it. :thumb:
