[Important] Current Delivery Situation Due to Corona Virus/ Suspension of Certain Shipping Methods to UK, DE, FR, BE, FI Updated 15 June 2022

Current Delivery Status Impacted by COVID-19

Please do understand that in this pandemic situation, the circumstances have been changing frequently. There is a possibility that the delivery time of your order could be delayed. It is very difficult to give a guarantee on whether how long the delay will be as circumstances in certain countries could change at anytime. This could range from a few weeks to a few months. However, we will ensure to keep you updated as soon as the information is possible.

We would appreciate if you could have an understanding of this before placing an order.

 

The post office is no longer able to operate at the same capacity as they had before the pandemic which results in delays. The estimate delivery time is just a general guideline, for some countries that are not affected much by this, orders could arrive within that period. However, for some other countries, it could take significantly longer than this period. We hope for your understanding. We have been trying our best to provide service in this pandemic situation. However, we hope you could understand that it is simply just a logistics issue and we do not have control over this.

 

Countries that might experience some delays:

  • New Zealand
  • Spain
  • Italy
  • Netherlands

 

* Tracking service for packages to Canada is temporarily suspended by Canada Post at the moment. Packages will be sent with the same premium shipping method but without tracking service.

 

 

Introduction of Courier Shipping for United States,  United Kingdom, France, Germany and Finland. Updated 12 October 2022.

From 15 June 2022, Courier Shipping has been introduced for United States,  United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany and Finland. This shipping method should take 2-4 business days to arrive and it comes with tracking service and insurance of up to $300 USD.

We have introduced this as a faster replacement for the currently unavailable premium shipping for these countries due to the impact of COVID-19. As Premium Shipping is currently not available for these countries, orders to these countries are not eligible for free shipping at the moment.

 

Suspension of Premium Shipping and Express Shipping to United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium and Finland as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war situation. Updated 13 June 2022.

Updated 19 May 2022. Airmail for Belgium has been resumed and Premium shipping and Express shipping are available.

On 8 March 2022, Japan Post has announced that they have temporarily suspended airmail and express shipping to a number of countries in Europe including United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium and Finland as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war. Since the pandemic has happened, the number of flights has been reduced to a much lower level than the pre-pandemic period. However, this recent situation has further reduced this number and as a result Japan Post is unable to ship packages to these countries by air temporarily. As of this moment, we are unable to provide premium shipping and express shipping to United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium and Finland.

We are able to ship your order by sea. This method may take some time. As airmail has been recently suspended, this will probably increase the volume of packages shipped by sea. We have been told that packages to Europe could take from 2 months to 3 months during this current situation. This shipping method will come with a tracking number and insurance. However, the given delivery time is only an estimate and it could depend on the situation.

We kindly ask customers to have an understanding of this before placing an order to these countries with us.

Regarding the resumption of premium shipping and express shipping, once the delivery service resumes, we should be able to offer these shipping methods as soon as possible. We are unable to tell you when this service will resume. However, we have been told by Japan Post that as this change was affected by the recent war in Russia and Ukraine, so the shipping situation may depend on that situation.

 

 

Introduction of Surface Mail for United States, Australia, United Kingdom, France and Germany. Updated 15 June 2022.

From 15 June 2022, Surface Mail will be available for United States, Australia, United Kingdom, France and Germany. This shipping method should take 2-3 months to arrive and it comes with a tracking number and is insured. 

Due to the current shipping situation, premium shipping to these countries is current not available. Which is why we introduce this shipping method, even though the delivery time may take longer, it is the only shipping method that is still available for Australia, United Kingdom, France and Germany. (By Post/No Product Restrictions)
