I've been given names, but no prices. How much should I expect to pay for this service, particularly in Osaka?

Well, I don't know exactly but I forwarded my luggage from Osaka Kansai Int'l airport to Kochi city and it cost me around 3000-3500yen per piece (max weight 30kg per bag and not a kilo over). I also think it depends on how many bags in total. I had 2 big ones and 1 small one and in total I think I had paid about 7500-8000 yen.

Try the post office. They used to measure by weight but have since changed to size dimensions to determine the cost. If you have a small (but extremely well-packed weighty) package it might be cheaper to use Japan Post.

They should have a spot at the airport. I shipped luggage from Narita to Tokyo and it was 3,000 yen.
