Latest COVID-19 Shipping Information
Shipping is delayed or restricted for many countries. See if shipping is restricted to your country here: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/overview_en.html
While delivery estimates are taking a lot longer than usual, most airmail packages are delivered within one month.
Shipping difficulties will almost certainly stretch into 2024, though things appear to slowly be getting better. As various events happen and things change, all of this information will certainly change.
 
 
Shipping Availability - Europe and North America
Japan Post has opened up airmail to many European countries, but we are listing all as having a ~2-month delivery estimate until we get real information. Airmail takes 2-5 weeks for airmail packages to arrive in most countries.
All purchases will use Japan Post Airmail if that's available, but will default to being sent via cargo ship if it isn't.
We are accepting orders that will be shipped via cargo ship for specific countries. Packages will take 2-3 months to be delivered: Georgia, Czech Republic, Italy, Ireland etc.
We are shipping all U.S. orders in bulk and then have them forwarded to each customer through USPS. This takes 3-5 weeks.
**Update 1/27** Shipments to Canada and Russia are postponed until airmail opens again
