How much will shipping cost?
We will confirm the final shipping costs for your order after we have shipped it to you. However, it's very easy to estimate your costs beforehand from the information on our web site.
If you are a member, the weight of goods is displayed on the member site.
If you are not a member, the breakdown is specified in the invoice.
The SAL rate shown is the estimated cost to ship the item via postal service "Surface Air Lift" small packet rates to countries in North America, Europe, Oceania, Central America and the Middle East. Customers in Asia should expect to pay about 20% less than this figure. Customers in South America and Africa should expect to pay about 20% more. A complete table of SAL rates is posted below. Also note that:
Some physically larger items and valuable orders (15,000 yen or more) may be shipped by EMS even if you request SAL shipping, depending on where you live. While this costs you slightly more, the far better handling and trackability of EMS, we believe, is justified when shipping very valuable items.
Taiwan, South Korea, Venezuela, Brunei, Jordan and some other nations don't offer SAL service. Shipments to these countries are by Air Mail or EMS.
SAL shipping is unfortunately not trackable.
The EMS rate shown is the estimated cost to ship the item via postal service EMS International Express mail to countries in North and Central America, the Middle East and Oceania. Customers in Europe should expect to pay about 15% more than the figure shown. Customers in Asia should expect to pay about 25% less. Customers in South America and Africa should expect to pay about 65% more. A complete table of EMS shipping rates can be found below. Shipments by EMS can be tracked on the Japanese post office's web site.
Please keep in mind that the costs shown are the imates to ship this item alone. If your shipment contains more than one item, the total cost for shipping will typically be 20-40% less than the sum of the individual items' shipping estimates. Also remember that shipping estimates include the weight of the shipping box and packing materials, so they're based on a weight higher than that of the item alone.
