We use actual live shipping rates directly from Japan Post. We can not change the price Japan Post charges for shipping, but we can offer a discount (on our already low product prices) to help cover the high shipping cost.
To get this discount you must have OVER $25.00 (USD) worth of products in your shopping cart. During checkout use Discount Code: SAVEONSHIPPING. This will subtract 30% of the cost of all the items in your shopping Cart. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING FEE. You will still have to choose and pay for a selected shipping option, however the 30% you save on the products could 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). Even with the shipping cost included, our prices are very competitive. 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.

AIRMAIL (Small Packet): There is NO TRACKING SERVICE with this option. This means you will NOT be able to track your parcel online.
