You will receive a confirmation email on the day your package is shipped. Please also check your SPAM and accept emails from Meccha Japan if our messages arrive in this category.
It is important that you track your package with your tracking number, in some countries, and cities, postal workers do not respect the delivery process. In some cases, you will not be notified of the attempted delivery or the fact that your package is waiting to be picked up at your post office. If the package is returned to us for the reason: "no claim". you will have to pay again the shipping costs for the return of your package. The refund of your order in this case is not accepted.

Volume charges (DHL and FedEx)

If you choose the DHL or FedEx shipping method, we may contact you on the day your package is shipped to inform you that you must either pay an additional fee to complete the shipment by DHL or FedEx or change your shipping method to EMS as this option may reduce the additional shipping fee.
The reason is that DHL and FedEx set their prices on a "volume weight" basis and not on an "actual weight" basis. The delivery price, therefore, changes according to the size of your package and not the weight. Since our internal system is set to "actual weight" there are sometimes differences between the shipping fee you paid and the actual shipping fee.

DHL does not accept APO military addresses.
