Shipping Fees for Lower-Priced Items
...are determined by their weight and size. Unlike standard-priced items in our store, the cost of shipping and handling are excluded from the price. Lower-priced items also will usually be of quality rank C or D and will lack the broad amount of detailing that's included in our standard listings in order to minimize the cost to you.
The shipping fee includes a handling fee of ~US$10 and payment processing fees. (Countries with mandatory recycling systems and VAT collection will have additional fees added to the shipping fee to account for the additional cost to sell to customers within those countries.)
Tracking is included on all shipments. If we can ship through a significantly cheaper method, we will switch to that method and refund the difference to the customer. (For example, if we can fit everything in the Size 80/5kg box, but the system required the customer to pay for the Size 100/10kg box.) The fees listed include the cost of packaging,
Typically, 1 standard women's kimono will weigh 750-1050g, with a furisode being 900-1300g, and a tomesode being 1100-1650g. Sometimes two kimonos will fit in the Size 60/2kg box, but they would usually have to be sent through Japan Post or using the 5kg Yamato/UPS box. With this setup, we suggest people order 3-5 kimonos in order to minimize their shipping costs.
The shipping fees may be different than what's currently listed, but we will try to keep this updated. Currency exchange fees may increase the prices if your currency is not set to USD.
