Some or all of the cost of shipping is built into our prices (lower-priced items have shipping fees completely excluded). Customers in most of North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia will only pay US$10-15 for shipping or will receive free shipping.

Lightweight items (under 600g) usually require a shipping fee of US$10-15, depending on the country.

Heavier items will usually have the cost of shipping fully built in, so there are no shipping fees.

Because shipping fees are built into our prices, you can receive a discount for making a large order.

Receive an automatic US$15 discount on each additional large, premium item over $45 when buying at least three qualifying items. (*Start of Discount* Furisode 1 ($95), Houmongi 1 ($55), Tomesode 1 ($67) = $217 - $15 x 2 = $187)
