SHIPPING POLICIES

Our products are shipped exclusively via Japan’s postal service system, Japan Post, which works in cooperation with the postal service in your country to deliver your items.

All shipping is calculated by weight based on the shipping address you enter on this site (not PayPal). Two methods of shipping are available: Standard and Express. Standard shipping uses regular Parcel Post airmail. Express mail uses UPS or FEDEX. Please note that Express Shipping may not be available for certain countries. You will be personally notified after your purchase, and adjustments will be made to ensure the best possible shipment.

DISCLAIMER

However, in the event of non-delivery, or in the event of damage to shipment, please contact us immediately and we will attempt to rectify the situation to the best of our ability. In particular, because standard shipping does not include tracking or insurance, we cannot guarantee delivery, and you understand that you ship at your own risk (non-delivery rate to North America, Europe, and Oceania is currently under 1%). Photographic evidence may be very helpful, please take photographs immediately upon arrival if you believe something is wrong with the shipment.
