COVID-19 Shipping Update

Well, after updating the website and switching to Shopify, we didn’t expect this to be the first blog.

Japan has placed shipping restrictions on international packages, including fully ending its SAL shipments as of April 2, 2020. (SAL is an inexpensive way to ship packages, although it can take 2-4 weeks to arrive.)

Therefore, due to new COVID-19 restrictions, we are no longer able to offer low cost SAL service and are switching to airmail and increasing prices to reflect this.

Information directly from Japan Post:

See if shipping to your country is prohibited by looking at this PDF:

These are the estimated shipping times provided by Japan Post, although the shipment may also take longer than estimated due to the current situation.

Canada/Mexico: 10-15 business days
Denmark/Finland/Sweden: 4-7
Australia/France/Poland: 6-10
Germany/Netherlands: 5-8
Greenland/Iceland: 10-15
Malaysia/Norway: 7-12
Philippines: 8-14
Singapore/South Korea: 4-7
Hong Kong/Taiwan: 5-8

We will update this post when Japan Post announces more information.
