Japan Post Cargo Ship - Significant Discount
If you are interested in saving a significant amount of money when purchasing a large number of items and don't care about speedy delivery, please ask us about shipment via cargo ship. As all of our products have some amount of shipping included, so you will likely save 10-20% of the total cost by choosing cargo ship.
