Shipping methods may be changed depending on the destination country or region, product contents, weight, number of packages, shipping status, or other circumstances.
Customers cannot individually specify the shipping carrier or shipping method.

4. Delivery Days
The number of delivery days after shipment varies depending on the destination country or region, shipping method, traffic conditions, flights, customs clearance, shipping carrier, weather, and other circumstances.

Please enter the shipping address in the format and language commonly used in the destination country or region.

9. Changing the Address
If you wish to change the shipping address after the order is confirmed, please contact us promptly via the Contact Form.
However, the shipping address cannot be changed after the product has started being packed or has been shipped, as shipping arrangements and import/export procedures may be in progress.
If the address change increases the shipping fee or other costs, the customer may be required to pay the difference.
10. Non-delivery or Return due to Address Inaccuracy
If a product is not delivered or is returned due to an error, omission, or inaccuracy in the address entered by the customer, the product price and shipping fees will not be refunded.
If reshipment is possible and the customer requests it, the customer shall bear the following costs:
-
Shipping fees required for reshipment
-
Costs incurred for the return
-
Storage fees
-
Customs clearance fees
-
Other costs necessary for reshipment
Depending on the quality, expiration date, or condition of the food, returned products may not be reshippable.
In such cases, the product price and shipping fees will not be refunded.
11. Long-term Absence and Refusal of Receipt
If the product cannot be received due to the customer's long-term absence, refusal of receipt, inability to contact, or other customer circumstances, the product price and shipping fees will not be refunded.
If the product is returned to the Company, the customer may be billed for return costs, storage fees, disposal costs, and other incurred expenses.
If reshipment is requested, the customer shall bear all costs necessary for reshipment.
12. Return due to Unpaid Customs Duties etc.
In the case of overseas shipping, if a product is not delivered, held, disposed of, or returned because the customer did not pay customs duties, import taxes, value-added tax, customs clearance fees, or other costs, the product price and shipping fees will not be refunded.
The customer may be required to bear return costs, storage fees, disposal costs, and other expenses incurred.
13. Checking Delivery Status
If a tracking number is issued, it will be notified to the registered email address after the product is shipped.
Customers can check the delivery status using the shipping carrier's tracking service.
Since tracking information is based on data provided by the shipping carrier, it may take time for the actual delivery status to be reflected.
If tracking information is not updated for a long period after shipment, please contact us via the Contact Form.
The Company will request an investigation from the shipping carrier if necessary.
14. Loss During Transit
For shipments within Japan via Yu-Pack, the compensation system established by the shipping carrier will apply.
For EMS overseas shipments, the Company will ship the product after declaring the declared value for compensation based on the product contents and order amount.
The declared value for EMS compensation is generally set to the price of the contents equivalent to the product price.
If loss during transit is suspected, the Company will request an investigation from the shipping carrier.
If the shipping carrier recognizes the loss as subject to compensation, refunds, reshipments, or other actions will be taken based on the shipping carrier's compensation system, the investigation results, and the Company's Return and Refund Policy.
Compensation for EMS is limited to the lower of the declared value declared by the Company at the time of shipment and the actual loss of the contents as certified by the shipping carrier.
The Company does not guarantee that shipping fees, customs duties, import taxes, value-added tax, customs clearance fees, storage fees, or other incidental costs will be covered by the shipping carrier's compensation system.
The declared value does not unconditionally guarantee a full refund of the product price or reshipment.
Until the shipping carrier determines it as a loss, it may not be treated as such. Furthermore, investigations by the shipping carrier may take a considerable amount of time.
15. Damage During Transit
Minor dents, scratches, tears, stains, deformations, or other damage to the shipping box or product packaging that does not interfere with the use or consumption of the product are, in principle, not eligible for refunds, exchanges, or reshipments.
If the contents are significantly damaged and normal use or consumption is difficult, please contact us via the Contact Form within 7 days of product arrival, stating the order number, name, and condition of the product.
To confirm the situation, we may request the submission of the following photos or information:
- Damaged product
- Product packaging
- Exterior and interior of the shipping box
- Packaging state including cushioning material
- Shipping label
- Other information required by the Company or the shipping carrier for confirmation
If an investigation by the shipping carrier is required, please do not dispose of the product, product packaging, shipping box, shipping label, cushioning material, or other packing materials, and keep them to the extent possible until instructed by the Company or shipping carrier.
If we are contacted more than 7 days after product arrival, we may be unable to respond depending on the product condition, elapsed time, degree of damage, availability of investigation by the shipping carrier, and other circumstances. This does not apply if the Company is liable under laws and regulations.
If the shipping carrier recognizes the damage as subject to compensation, refunds, partial refunds, shipment of replacement products, or other actions will be taken based on the shipping carrier's compensation system, investigation results, product condition, degree of damage, and the Company's Return and Refund Policy.
For EMS overseas shipments, compensation is limited to the lower of the declared value declared by the Company at the time of shipment and the actual loss of the contents as certified by the shipping carrier.
For shipments within Japan, the compensation system and limits of the utilized shipping service will apply.
The Company does not guarantee that shipping fees, customs duties, import taxes, value-added tax, customs clearance fees, storage fees, or other incidental costs will be covered by the shipping carrier's compensation system.
Regarding minor cracks, chips, melting, deformation, or changes in texture and appearance arising from the nature of the product, we will individually determine whether to respond after confirming the shipping conditions, temperature, storage environment, and other circumstances.
Investigations by shipping carriers may take a considerable amount of time. Refunds, exchanges, or reshipments may not be processed until the investigation is complete.
This does not apply if the Company is liable under laws and regulations, in the case of intentional misconduct or gross negligence by the Company, or other cases where limitations of liability are not permitted.
16. Missing Items and Incorrect Delivery
If the ordered products are missing or if products different from the order arrive, please contact us via the Contact Form within 7 days of arrival, providing the following information:
- Order Number
- Name
- Details of missing or incorrect delivery
- Other information required by the Company for confirmation
For confirmation, we may request photos or information regarding the product, shipping box, shipping label, packaging state, etc.
If the Company confirms missing items or incorrect delivery, we will generally provide a partial refund equivalent to the missing or incorrect product. However, if the Company deems it appropriate, we may send replacement products or take other actions.
Even in the case of a partial refund, the eligibility for a refund of shipping fees will be determined based on the contents of the missing/incorrect delivery, the refund method, and other circumstances.
If we are contacted more than 7 days after product arrival, we may be unable to respond depending on the product condition, elapsed time, order details, availability of investigation by the shipping carrier, and other circumstances. This does not apply if the Company is liable under laws and regulations.
We may be unable to respond if the required photos or information cannot be provided and the order details or product condition cannot be confirmed.
17. Out-of-stock and Alternative Products
Depending on procurement status, inventory, season, discontinuation of production, or other circumstances, products within a BOX may be changed to products of equivalent value without prior notice.
Product images and configurations include conceptual images; actual products, packaging, design, or contents may differ.
Unless the product page explicitly states that a specific product is always included, individual products within a BOX cannot be specified.
18. Cancellations
Customers can apply for cancellation from their My Page within 1 hour from the time the Company sends the order confirmation email.
A cancellation request from My Page does not guarantee completion; the cancellation is finalized when the Company confirms and approves the request.
The cancellation request function on My Page will become unavailable after 1 hour has passed from the time the order confirmation email was sent.
Even after 1 hour, a cancellation may be accepted if the product has not yet begun to be packed, provided the customer contacts the Company.
If you wish to cancel, please contact us promptly via the Contact Form.
Due to the nature of products containing food, and for reasons of expiration date management and hygiene, it may be difficult to resell products once they have been packed or shipped. Furthermore, as overseas shipping requires time for import/export procedures and shipping arrangements, cancellations cannot be accepted after the product has begun to be packed or has been shipped.
If packing work has already begun at the time the cancellation request is received, the cancellation may not be accepted even if it is within the time frame for application on My Page.
If the Company approves the cancellation, the refund will generally be made through the payment method used at the time of purchase.
For details regarding cancellations and refunds, please refer to the Company's Return and Refund Policy.
19. Designation of Delivery Date and Time
Neither domestic nor overseas shipments allow for the designation of a specific delivery date or time slot.
If you enter your scheduled return date at the time of ordering, the Company will adjust the shipment date based on that date.
However, arrival by the entered return date is not guaranteed due to product preparation status, destination, customs, weather, traffic conditions, shipping carrier handling status, or other circumstances.
Even if you wish to receive the product by a specific date, the shipment date or arrival date cannot be guaranteed.
If you wish to receive delivery according to a schedule such as travel, return to home country, relocation, or gift-giving, please order with plenty of time, considering the possibility of delays.
20. Shipping in Multiple Packages
A single order is limited to a total of 6 boxes including LIGHT BOX, STANDARD BOX, and PREMIUM BOX.
In principle, one order will be shipped in one package.
However, the Company may, at its discretion, divide a shipment into multiple packages for reasons such as ensuring shipping safety, product size or shape, shipping carrier handling conditions, packing constraints, or other unavoidable reasons.
If shipped in multiple packages, the shipment date, tracking number, or arrival date may differ for each package.
If the Company decides to ship in multiple packages, no additional shipping fees will be charged to the customer after the order is confirmed.
However, if additional packing or shipping becomes necessary due to changes in destination, order details, or other conditions requested by the customer after order confirmation, the customer may be required to bear additional costs.
21. Suspension of Shipping and Cancellation of Orders
The Company may suspend product shipment or cancel an order in the following cases:
-
When shipping to the destination country or region is suspended
-
When it is found that the product cannot be exported or imported
-
When there is a risk that the order details violate laws and regulations
-
When there is an error in the shipping address and confirmation cannot be made
-
When payment is not completed
-
When there is suspicion of fraudulent order or payment
-
When the order cannot be fulfilled due to product stockouts, etc.
-
Other cases where the Company reasonably determines that shipment is not possible
If an order is canceled due to the Company's circumstances and the product price has already been received, a refund will generally be made through the payment method used at the time of purchase.
22. Disclaimer Regarding Shipping
The Company shall not be held responsible for shipping delays, non-delivery, returns, damage, or other losses caused by the following circumstances, unless the loss is attributable to the Company or the Company cannot be exempted or limited from liability under laws and regulations.
