SHIPPING
WE CAN'T CHANGE THE PRICE JAPAN POST CHARGES FOR SHIPPING, but we can offer a discount on our products to help cover the high shipping cost.
Just add OVER $25.00 (USD) to your shopping cart and use Discount Code: SAVEONSHIPPING when you Checkout to get 30% OFF the price on everything in your shopping cart.
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE PRICE FOR THE SHIPPING FEE. You will still have to choose a shipping option, but the discount you receive on the products will cover most or all of the shipping fee, especially for larger orders.
We recommend ordering at least 7-10 items to get the best TOTAL PRICE: (Product + Shipping). Check how much you are getting the products for even with the shipping cost included. (While other stores charge 2 or 3 times more than us for products and offer "FREE SHIPPING", we offer low prices and charge the exact amount it costs to send parcels to your country).
PLEASE NOTE: When choosing items, please consider the weight of the products. Instant coffee jars, liquid creamer and large boxes of instant "stick" coffee/tea are especially heavy and will result in higher shipping fees.
Shipping fees are based on weight and there is a MINIMUM FEE for the first several hundred grams. If you only order a few items, you'll pay the highest base price. For the best deal, place an order of several items and use our discount. The more products you order, the more you will save. You can actually get "FREE SHIPPING" when you take advantage of our discount.
