“Business days” means Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.

- The order day counts as Day 0.
2) Free Shipping
- Free delivery to standard service areas in Europe and Japan.
- Remote areas (e.g., Hokkaido, Japan) are excluded.
- Remote surcharges may apply and will be displayed at checkout.
3) Estimated Delivery Times (after dispatch)
- Japan (mainland): 3–5 business days
- Most EU destinations (Germany, France, Netherlands, etc.): 15–21 business days
- Remote areas: add 3–5 business days to the above estimates
⚠️ Delivery estimates are not guarantees. Weather, customs, or carrier delays may extend timelines. Large or multi-box orders may arrive in separate parcels.
4) Couriers & Tracking
- We automatically select the fastest, most reliable carrier for your address.
- A tracking number will be provided once your order ships. Use the carrier’s site/app to track your parcel.
5) Address Changes & Missed Deliveries
- Before dispatch: contact support to update your address.
- After dispatch: changes/re-routing are handled by the carrier and may incur fees.
- If you’re away, use carrier options such as rescheduling, pick-up points, or authorizing delivery to a neighbor (where available).
6) Duties & Taxes
- At checkout, we clearly indicate whether your shipment is DDP (duties/taxes included) or DDU (duties/taxes collected on delivery).
- Any applicable charges are shown before payment.
7) Damaged, Lost, or Tampered Parcels
- If the carton is visibly damaged, refuse delivery and contact us immediately.
- For suspected loss/damage, notify the carrier with your tracking number and inform us so we can assist with an investigation.
- Keep all packaging until the issue is resolved.
8) Remote Areas
- Free shipping does not apply to designated remote areas (e.g., Hokkaido, Japan).
- A surcharge will be displayed at checkout. Delivery times may be longer.
9) Changes & Disclaimers
- Shipping methods, charges, and timelines may change due to carrier pricing, seasonal peaks, or force majeure (e.g., weather, strikes, unrest).
