Due to the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19), Japan Post has announced that service will be restricted and or suspended in 155 countries starting 12am April 2. These restrictions/suspensions will remain in place until further notice.
Additionally, JP Post has announced that SAL services are suspended to ALL countries - for countries not included on this list, this means the only available shipping methods are EMS (Express 3-7 business days), ePacket (Regular 5-10 business days), and Surface/seamail (Saver 28-56 business days) [+FedEx to the US].
Countries affect by service restrictions can ONLY receive mail via seamail. If you have placed an order and your country is affected, please reach out to us to see if we can change your shipping method to seamail.
