** SHIPPING GUIDE **
For USA - IMPORTANT
• The total price includes all applicable duties and tariffs, ensuring no additional charges will be applied when the parcel arrives.
• Following the suspension of the de minimis rule, Japan Post services are currently unavailable for shipments to the United States. For now, all parcels will be shipped by SpeedPAK Economy under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), which provides tracking and offers a reasonable lead time.
• Delivery typically takes 8 to 12 days after dispatch, though it may vary depending on the destination or due to delays by the shipping company or customs.
• Better shipping rates are available for bundle purchases. Please feel free to contact us if interested.
For all countries except the USA
• The listed price includes international shipping fees, excluding any import taxes, duties, or VAT, which may apply depending on the item and destination. These are generally costs for international customers.
• Items will be shipped by Japan Post ePacket Light (economy international shipping) with tracking provided.
• Delivery typically takes 10 to 14 days after dispatch, though it may vary depending on the destination or due to delays by the shipping company or customs.

PLEASE NOTE : Tracking with Japan Post Small Packet is limited in certain countries (UK, Canada, and Australia are covered.). For peace of mind, an upgrade to EMS (with full tracking and a shorter lead time) is highly recommended at an additional cost. Without this option, refunds may not be possible in the event that the item is lost, stolen, or delayed once it has left Japan. Feel free to reach out for any additional shipping details or casual inquiries before purchase.
** RETURN & REFUND POLICY **
• Due to the unique nature of the items listed, returns are not accepted except in cases of our shipping errors or significant discrepancies—for example, if an item is listed as leather but turns out to be PVC.
• Please make sure to check the measurements and compare them with garments from your own closet. Marked size is not necessarily US-fit, as we handle items from various brands, countries, and production years, including vintage.
• Missed deliveries or items returned to Japan due to the buyer’s absence or refusal to pay duties/tariffs are not eligible for a refund. Redelivery will be the buyer’s responsibility, and the item will not be reshipped from Japan until the additional shipping costs (including the return cost to Japan) are paid by the buyer
