Delivery Options / Postage Charges 送料

Mail category: "Surface Mail (no tracking, no compensation)". This is in place only for location where there is no air mail available. There are two tiers, ¥680 and ¥850, which is the same to anywhere outside Japan. Please be very aware that surface mail can take 12 weeks or more to arrive and as in the category name, there is NO TRACKING and NO COMPENSATION.

There are five delivery zones: Japan, Asia (Pacific), World I (Europe, Middle East, Central America, Canada, Oceania), World II (South America, Africa) and the USA. You have the option of standard or recorded and insured delivery. Recorded delivery service varies from country to country, full detailed tracking may not be available.

Except for Japan, there are five postage charge tiers for normal shipments of small items: Envelope, Tiny Parcel, Small Parcel, Medium Parcel and Large Parcel, which are automatically selected depending on the items ordered. Extra-large items like kit bundles etc. have a higher rate than shown here. Please check your shopping cart for the pricing.

Please note that the figures in the tables below are subject to change, but I always try to establish the best and fairest possible charges, based on (simplified) actual costs.
