Shipping Preferences

We know that sometimes you need to receive certain items in your order more quickly than you receive others. That's why every time you place an order via our order form, you can choose from one of these shipping preferences.

Group my items into as few shipments as possible.
Trying to keep shipping costs down? Choose this first option. We'll consolidate your items into the fewest shipments possible.

Depending on the availability of the items you're purchasing, you might have to wait a bit longer for your order to ship, but you'll save money on shipping.

In some cases we may choose to deliver nongift orders as the items become available, even when you have chosen to receive one delivery when your complete order is ready. In such instances you will be charged for only one delivery.

I want my items faster. Ship them as soon as they become available (at additional cost).
Ordering items with different availabilities? Don't let the slower items hold up the rest of your order! Choose this option to have your items ship as they become available, beginning with those already in stock.

You'll be charged a per-shipment fee (and a COD handling fee, if applicable) for each shipment. (Click here for more detail)However, you'll get some or all of your items earlier than you would if you'd chosen the "Group my items into as few shipments as possible" option. Of course, we'll still attempt to save you money by consolidating items when it makes sense to do so.

Note:
When you choose "I want my items faster. Ship them as soon as they become available", please note the following items.

• If any items which price is under ￥1,500 (incl, tax) are included in your order, shipping fee will be added even though the total amount of your order is ￥1,500 or greater.

• Shipping & Handling Fee displayed on the section of "Amazon.co.jp Order Summary" of Checkout page is calculated based on the assumption for the maximum number of shipment, regardless of the actual number of shipment. However, please be assured that we will charge you Shipping & Handling Fee based on the actual number of shipment.
