Postage
and the Pandemic
Our
normal method of postage would be to use Japan Post to deliver by international
standards via a form of Airmail/small packet/SAL. However, due to the pandemic
acceptance of airmail-related post by Japan Post has been suspended temporarily
to many countries so I will only be able to send as follows:
Airmail
possible: UK, Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Poland are all currently fine but
others may be restricted), New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore
and Taiwan are all good at present.
Japan
Post is currently offering no airmail options to the USA due to the
virus. US buyers can request surface mail but Japan Post does not offer
a trackable service and we must caution that it may take several months to
arrive. The only air option to the USA I can offer is courier (UPS 4-6 days
delivery) but UPS require a contact number for the recipient or they will not
accept the package.
Items
will typically be sent by a form of recorded delivery. All items with a value
of above £40 will require a recorded delivery method of postage and will not be
sent by surface mail.
Delivery
would normally take from 2-3 weeks but may take 4-5 weeks in the current
environment. Please be patient.
Surface
mail may be possible, but this would take 1-3 months. If someone from outside
these areas wishes to buy an item, please contact me before purchase and I will
confirm if there are any postage options, but I repeat Airmail options
are currently severely restricted.
I
will be posting all items from Japan and will generally
use a fixed rate of postage of £9.50 or £10 depending on weight or
unless stated differently. Please understand that in the current situation and
with the restricted options available I have to assume a higher cost of postage
and so have partially built this into the price I am asking for the items as
well as my fixed rate of postage.
The
item illustrated is what you will receive. No returns will be accepted in the
current situation. If there are any problems on receiving the item please
contact me to resolve before leaving feedback. Please leave feedback on receipt
if satisfied.
