Orders & Payment

Q. How do I place an order?
Add the items you want to your cart, proceed to checkout, and enter your shipping address. Payment is by bank transfer, so no card is needed at checkout. After you place your order, we email you the bank transfer details.
Q. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer only. You can pay in Japanese yen (JPY) to our Japan bank account, or in U.S. dollars (USD) via Zelle or international wire transfer. Please complete your transfer within 7 days of ordering. We ship after your payment is confirmed.
Q. When and how do I receive the bank transfer details?
They are included in the order confirmation email sent right after you place your order. If you choose to pay in USD, we will email you the USD amount to transfer.
Q. I didn't receive the order confirmation email.
Please check your spam or junk folder, as the email is sometimes filtered there. If you still can't find it, contact us and we'll resend your payment details.
Q. In what currency are prices shown?
All prices are shown in Japanese yen (JPY). If you prefer to pay in U.S. dollars, please see the payment questions above.
Q. Is there a minimum order amount?
No, there is no minimum order. Keep in mind that shipping is charged per shipment, so ordering several items together is more efficient than placing separate small orders.
Q. Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?
Please contact us as soon as possible. We may be able to make changes before your payment is confirmed and the order ships. Once an order has shipped, changes and cancellations are not possible.

Shipping & Delivery

Q. Which countries do you ship to?
United States, Canada, and Japan.
Q. How much is shipping, and why can it be expensive?
Shipping is calculated automatically at checkout based on the total weight of your items and the destination, and is shown in Japanese yen. Orders ship from the USA, so international rates apply. Ordering several items together makes shipping more efficient per item.
Q. How long does delivery take?
We ship within 3 business days after your payment is confirmed, primarily via USPS. Delivery typically takes about 1-2 weeks by air. We do not ship on Saturdays, Sundays, or U.S. public holidays.
Q. Can I track my shipment?
Yes. Once your order ships, we provide a tracking number so you can follow your package until it arrives.
Q. What happens if an item is out of stock?
If an item becomes unavailable after you order, we will contact you. Depending on the situation, the item may be removed from your order, or the order may be canceled and refunded.

Customs & Import

Q. What is a "personal import"?
Products are shipped from the USA for your own personal use, and you are the importer of record. This lets you obtain authentic U.S. supplements that are not sold domestically in Japan.
Q. Will I have to pay customs duties or import tax?
Possibly. As a personal import, depending on your order amount, import consumption tax and customs duties (and a clearance fee) may be charged when your package arrives in Japan, and are paid by the customer to the delivery carrier upon delivery. Smaller orders are often not taxed. Please see our Customs Duties & Import Taxes page for details.
Q. Are there any import restrictions?
Some ingredients may be subject to import restrictions depending on the destination. In such cases, an error may appear at checkout, or the order may be canceled and refunded.

Products & Supplements

Q. Are the products labeled in Japanese? Are they medicine?
Products follow U.S. specifications and labeling, which may differ from Japanese labeling. Supplements are foods, not medicine, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Please check the ingredients before purchase.
Q. How should I take these supplements?
As foods, they may generally be taken at any time. We recommend following the usage guidelines shown on each product page. Effects and experiences may differ from person to person. Please note we are unable to answer inquiries about the effects or efficacy of specific supplements.
Q. Do you offer subscriptions?
Yes, some products are available for regular subscription delivery. You can manage or cancel a subscription from your account. Please see our subscription/cancellation policy for details.

Returns & Issues

Q. Can I return or cancel my order?
As personal-import goods, returns and exchanges due to customer convenience are generally not accepted. If your item is defective or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery. Please see our Refund Policy for details.
Q. My item arrived damaged or incorrect. What should I do?
We're sorry for the trouble. Please contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and a photo of the item, and we'll arrange a solution.
