Shipping rates are based on weight, and there is a Minimum Fee even if you only order one item. Don't be fooled by "Free Shipping" that actually includes the shipping fee in the product price. (You'll wind up paying rates for the most expensive countries). Check prices of our products and compare them to other popular stores. Shipping fees are Expensive and Unavoidable, and there is a minimum fee even if you only order a few items.
We use live shipping rates provided by Japan Post at the time you place your order based on actual shipping rates for your country. While we can not offer a discount on the shipping price (as Japan Post sets shipping rates), we can offer a discount to help cover the high shipping cost.
If you order Over $25.00 (USD), you can use Discount Code: LOWERSHIPPING get 25% Off all Products in your Shopping Cart. The savings here can greatly reduce the burden of shipping. (If you place a larger order it could completely cover the shipping cost, and more).
We recommend ordering at least 7-10 items to get the best total price (Product + Shipping). 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.
