No International Mail From Japan

Recommended Posts

Just received two packages that were posted separately on April 10th. One arrived on July 6 and one today. That’s about 3 months in transit. In addition, the US is still on the restricted list in terms of sending packages.

Obviously Japan isn't the only country not sending out mail. I'm still waiting for a CD I ordered in the US early May. According to tracking it is on halt in NY since 10th of June.

Obviously it depends what country you are in, I bought a Pilot 742 from Japan on 2nd July and it was delivered on 14th July.

I have ordered two shipments this month from Japan to Rhode Island, They both arrived in about a week.

 

I guess it varies?

EMS from Japan to Netherlands seems to work fine with the two examples I can share:

 

sent 11 July - received 18 July = 7 days

sent 2 August - received 11 August = 9 days

> Sending to US is still not possible

Sorry my fault, I was talking about sending with Japanpost.

 

Knowledge already several times mentioned in this thread.

Sending with DHL, UPS, Fedex to the US was always possible but it costs an arm and a leg for normal people (without account).

And yes, there are countries which were always served by Japanpost (Germany, etc).

> I have an account and I can send to US (1kg) for 3,000 yen.

Without account, it would be nearly 9000.

 

So, how/where did you get that account? Do you need to "have" a company? Thanks.

I'll say I bought a pen from Eboya in the beginning of the month and it took 3 days from Tokyo to Chicago via DHL. I was honestly shocked how quickly it came, but shipping was fairly pricey.

Facts please. Nobody can know what you find pricey. Thank you.

Youll need a company. I used my company contract.

It was 6500 yen or a little over $60

Thats quite high. Eboya Pens come in small boxes. Maybe half a kg or 1kg box at most.

The 6500 Yen are already a reduced price. Perhaps it also depends on how many shipments you do in your contract.

The basic fees (in Yen) - see below. US is Zone 5 and Germany Zone 6 to give you an idea how these companies milk the small clients.

^Yeah, company sends a lot of shipments. Just last month there was a 26kg shipment to India for 38,000 yen.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
