    We confirm each order with an invoice by email. The invoice is valid for 14 days.

  • Shipped after payment

    Your order ships once the invoice is paid. Before dispatch it is inspected and quality checked in Saitama, Japan.

  • Availability and production capacity

    Orders are subject to availability and production capacity, so we may not always be able to supply the quantity or delivery date you ask for.

  • Freight you choose

    For each order we offer freight options with their prices, and you choose the one that suits you.

  • Duties and taxes paid by the receiver
