**2023 INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING UPDATE**
WHENEVER POSSIBLE, shipper will used tracked airmail for packages. Certain companies refuse to ship airmail to certain destinations (see link below), and surface shipping is the only option.
Food/drink items and Large Volume/Low Weight items:
Japan Post is the only method that accepts any food or beverage items for international shipping. Their costs are higher due to the privatization of the company, and are based on the weight of the item. The cheapest cost for a box weighing less than 2.2 lbs (1kg) is approximately $35US (dependent on current exchange rate).
Large packages (based on volume) that are relatively low weight might also be sent with this method as it is also lower cost with a similar service standard.
In most cases with airmail shipping, packages arrive at their destination approximately 5-7 days after acceptance at the Japan Post office. For larger packages, a pick-up company (Sagawa) is used that delays the acceptance of the package by 1-2 days until the paperwork is inspected and scanned into the system. Delays on either side of customs could change this time, and is not the responsibility of the seller. Every effort to get the package to you as quickly as possible is taken.
Non-food/drink items:
Yamato Transport will typically be used for shipping for non-food items that have a relatively small volume and weight.
Their prices have gone up substantially for international shipments in April, 2023, but they are still the better option when shipping is based on the volume of the package (length + width + height).
The cheapest option for shipping with a combined volume of 60cm or less [the size of this item] and a weight of under 4 lbs (2 kg) is approximately $30US (dependent on current exchange rate).
In most cases with airmail shipping, packages arrive at their destination approximately 5-7 days after acceptance at the Yamato office. Delays on either side of customs could change this time, and is not the responsibility of the seller. Every effort to get the package to you as quickly as possible is taken.
Currently Japan Post refuses air or surface parcel mail to certain destinations (please check these restrictions at https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/overview_en.html). Please be aware that this could increase shipping time dramatically, and the seller is not responsible for these restrictions nor delays in the arrival of any package.
**NOTE: Currently Japan Post will only allow SURFACE mail to many countries around the world.** If you are NOT in the US/Canada/UK/Australia, please contact the seller BEFORE PAYING to see what other options might be available based on your shipping address.
