We usually send the boxes between the 5th and the 9th of each month.

Then you have to consider about 20 days before your box arrives.

Sometimes, the shipping can take longer if the post has a lot of packages to process at the airport.

If you choose the delivery method with tracking and insurance, then you'll find your tracking number in the confirmation email. However, if you don't pick this option, it won't be possible to track your package.

Boxes usually take 20 days to arrive, but it may take longer if there are a lot of packages to process at the airport. In that case, the Post may receive the package later and the shipping may be delayed.

If you chose the shipping with tracking, go to the Japanese post service web site that you received in the confirmation mail of your box. If the package arrived in your home country, you can have more info on the web site of your local post service.

If you didn’t choose the tracking option, you only have to wait. Some packages can rarely take more than a month to arrive.

A package is considered lost three months after the shipping. During this period, the package can arrive at your house or be sent back to Japan. If the package comes back in Japan, we’ll contact you to offer you a reshipping.

From time to time, we send boxes to YouTubers or bloggers to make them discover our surprise box. However, we have to choose wisely because our stock is rather limited:

• Your channel / blog has to have something to do with Japan, food or monthly boxes
• You need to have a significant number of views, as we don’t send boxes to new sites / YouTube
