September 2, 2025 Notes on Shipping 【Important Notice Regarding Shipping to the United States】 Due to recent changes in U.S. customs and import regulations, we have been forced to switch to a different shipping carrier exclusively for shipments to the United States. As a result, free shipping is no longer available for U.S. orders, and shipping costs may be significantly higher compared to other countries. In addition, under the new shipping arrangement, dispatch may take up to 2–3 weeks. Please note that if EMS shipping to the United States becomes available again in the future, we may return to our regular, lower shipping rates. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding. (Especially for Customers in Italy) We generally ship by EMS from Japan. Recently, there has been an increase in cases where packages shipped to Italy have experienced delays or difficulties reaching customers due to strict customs procedures. As a result, please be aware that delivery to Italy may take several weeks to about one month. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but we kindly ask that you regularly check the tracking number (along with your postal code) on the website of your local postal service to monitor the status of your shipment. In some cases, it may also be necessary to contact your local delivery company directly. In addition, if you are a new customer in Italy, we kindly ask that you provide your codice fiscale via chat after placing your order. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
