Delivery options

We have the following delivery choices:

A) SAL Small Packet (a.k.a. Economy Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending on the destination (No Insurance, No tracking info, No refund in case of non-delivery)
SAL delivery is the delivery as known as "economy airmail". This delivery exploits unbooked air cargo space for regular airmail. Therefore, delivery time is a bit slower and vary, compared to regular airmail, takes about 2 to 6 weeks. Sometimes this delivery employs surface mail when the air cargo space is expected unavailable for a certain time like Christmas busy gift season.
(This service is not available for South Korea, Taiwan, Venezela, Burnei and some countries in Africa, Mid East Asia. For more details please ask)


A+) SAL Small Packet Registered
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending on the destination(with tracking number, Insurance maximum 6,000yen)
The SAL delivery with registered tracking number, so that you can track it on Japan Post's web, also in case of non-delivery they will refund maximum 6,000yen in accordance with the shipping declaration value on the shipping label. *This is very reccommended delivery.


A') SAL Parcel Post (a.k.a. Economy Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending on the destination (with tracking number, No Insurance, No refund in case of non-delivery)
The SAL Parcel Post is the delivery for bulk and volume order. While the Small Packet SAL can ship only up to 2.0kg with dimentional size (L+W+H) less than 90cm, Parcel Post SAL can pack more in one box, while the rate is higher. For the most of countries we can pack max 30.0kg with dimentional size (L+ L+W+W+H) up to 275cm - 300cm depending on the destination. This delivery does not come with any insurance and refund policy but can be tracked on Japan Post's web. * We do not recomment this delivery to USA/Brazil/Indonesia due to smaller size regulation (L+L+W+W+H = less than 200cm), even multiple box shipping can not beat EMS one box shipping fee.


B) AIRMAIL Small Packet (a.k.a. Regular Airmail)
average delivery time 1 - 2 weeks depending on the destination (No Insurance, No tracking info, No refund in case of non-delivery)
AIR delivery is what we commonly know as "regular airmail". This delivery uses exclusively booked air cargo space so that the shipment will be loaded onto the airplane as soon as it arrives at the airport.


B+) AIRMAIL Small Packet Registered
average delivery time 1 - 2 weeks depending on the destination (with tracking number, Insurance maximum 6,000yen)
The AIRMAIL delivery with registered tracking number, so that you can track it on Japan Post's web, also in case of non-delivery they will refund maximum 6,000yen in accordance with the shipping declaration value on the shipping label.


B') AIRMAIL Parcel Post (a.k.a. Regular Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending on the destination (with tracking number, No Insurance, No refund in case of non-delivery)
We basically do not use this service, because the shipping fee is higher than EMS. This is because the AIRMAIL Parcel is quite conventional service which having been not renewed for quite long time, while Japan post started EMS aiming to replace it. We only use this delivery for the country to which both SAL and EMS are not available but the item can not be packed in small packet (ex. Bosnia and Herzegovina). This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.


C) EMS (a.k.a. International express mail)
average delivery time 3 - 5 days depending on the destination (With Tracking number and Insurance which covers maximum 20,000yen in accrodance with shipping declaration value on the shipping label)
EMS is the most reliable and fast delivery among the choices Japan post offers. This delivery is given the first priority in handling so that it will be loaded on the airplane in less than 48 hrs from dispatch. We would strongly recommend this delivery for the order with high declaration valuable or urgent need. Tracking information is available on Japan Post's web.


D) Surface Small Packet registered(We have stopped using non-registered Surface Small Packet as of January 2011)
average delivery time 2 - 6 months(with tracking number, Insurance maximum 6,000yen)
Surface delivery is what commomly called as "sea mail". Delivery is slow, approximate 2 month to 3 months, and sometimes longer, depending on the destination. However the delivery rate is the least expensive among the other choices. It has only two shipping weight band, either 1.0kg/770yen or 2.0kg/1080yen worldwide flat rate. We recommend this delivery for small but very heavy items, of which value is not so high. This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.


E) Fedex (International Economy)
average delivery time 3 to 5 days depending on the destination
