How Japan Shipping Actually Works
We ship exclusively with Yamato Transport — ヤマト運輸

Our relationship with Yamato goes beyond a standard carrier arrangement. Their team knows our storage operations, and when questions arise about a delivery address or a shipment needs special handling, they call us directly to resolve it. Your bags are in good hands from the moment they leave your door.
Rates shown are estimates
These are estimates and may vary based on your actual pickup or delivery address.
Oversized or overweight items require consultation
Items that exceed 200 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height) or weigh more than 15kg for the 120 size or 30kg for the 180+ sizes may be subject to additional surcharges or handling requirements. If your item falls into either category, please contact us before booking so we can confirm availability and provide an accurate quote.
How shipping rates work in Japan
- Rates are primarily based on package size (length + width + height)
- The maximum weight for a certain package size is the same cost as a weight under the max.
- Weight only matters if your package exceeds 15kg for the 120 size and 30kg for the 180 and over sizes, at which point surcharges may apply
- This is different from most countries, where weight — or weight combined with size — determines the cost
