Click the "Check Out" button after you place all items in the shopping cart. Agree with Terms and Conditions and Go To Next. Sign up as a member or skip the registration and Go To Next. Fill out the order form and Go To Next. Make sure to enter the correct shipping and e-mail addresses. Double-check your order information and confirm the order. You will receive an automatic order confirmation per e-mail after we receive your order. Within appr. 2-4 business days, you will receive the final order confirmation. At this point we will send you either a Paypal payment request or an invoice, also via Paypal, which you can then pay with your credit card or any other method that is accepted by Paypal in your country. We ship out your order after payment is received in full. FYI: You do not need a Paypal account to pay your invoice. |
| Q: How fast do you process my order? |
| It will take appr. 2-4 business day to process your order. We will than mail your shipment immediately after payment is received. |
| Q: How long does it take until I receive my order? |
| This depends on the shipping method you choose. Please refer to our Shipping page for details. Add-on 2-4 business days to the shipping time for order processing. |
| Q: Can I pre-order items that are not available for sale yet? |
| Yes, you can.
Select the item from the pre-order menu and check out
following the instructions on the screen. We will charge a
deposit of 20% of the total product value. Only after
receiving your deposit we can confirm your pre-order status. If you decided to cancel or to downsize your pre-order after it is confirmed, we reserve the right to convert the downpayment into a cancellation fee. You cannot combine different items in a single pre-order or combine a pre-order with a regular order. We will ship pre-ordered items as they arrive in our warehouse; we will not combine different pre-ordered items and than ship them together. We only work with reliable and trusted suppliers and partners; however, it can happen that pre-ordered items do not arrive in time or in sufficient quantities. Situations like this, which are somewhat typical to the Japanese toy market, are beyond our control and we ask you for you understanding should that ever happen to your pre-order. You can be assured that we do everything possible so that you can receive your pre-ordered items on-time and in the desired quantities. |
| Q: Where do you ship from and how much is shipping & handling? |
| We ship out of our
warehouse in Osaka, Japan. All items are in their original
packaging. Costs for shipping & handling depend on the shipping method you choose. For details on available shipping methods and costs please visit our Shipping section. |
| Q: Are there import duties or fees on my items? |
| Duties: Import duties are determined by the country that the product is shipped to, that is, its destination. We do not have any influence on the enforcement of those duties and bear no responsibility for them. Many countries, such as the U.S.A., do not impose import duties on the products we sell. However, if import duties were demanded, it would be your responsibility as the buyer to pay those duties and all associated fees in accordance with the laws and regulations of the destination country. Fees: Larger orders with a total value of US$ 2,500 or higher are considered formal entries into the destination country. Formal entries require a so-called Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) to be paid to the shipper, in order for the shipment to be released from customs. The process itself is automated and you will receive an email from the shipping company with a payment link. Only after payment is received, will the shipment be released from customs. The fee is a small percentage of the order total, with a minimum of appr. US$ 45. Once you make the payment, please email us a copy of the invoice / payment receipt for reimbursement. |
| Q: Are there special requirements for Canadian customers? |
| A Goods and Service
Tax (GST) applies to all goods imported into Canada and it
is assessed based on the duty paid value of the goods. The
GST is a tax on final consumption and only the final
non-commercial consumer ends up paying it. All businesses
registered for GST may claim back all GST they paid which
relates to a commercial activity. "Goods you import into Canada are subject to the GST or the federal part of the HST except for items specified as non-taxable importations. The GST/HST is calculated on the Canadian dollar value of the goods, including duty and excise tax, and is collected at the border at the same time as these duties and taxes. The owner or importer of record is responsible for paying the GST/HST on imported goods. If you are registered for the GST/HST and the importer (the person who caused the goods to be imported into Canada), you may claim an input tax credit (ITC) for the tax you paid on the imported goods, as long as you meet the requirement for claiming ITCs."

| Q: Can we return purchased items? |
| Orders must not be
returned, neither partially nor fully. We do our very best
to offer all items at the lowest price possible and can
therefore not accept returned items. However, we will work
with you if items are damaged during transport. We purchase
shipping insurance for each package we ship. If you notice
that packages that you receive have extensive outside
damage, please immediately notify the carrier and follow the
carrier's instructions. If items are also damaged, please
notify us as soon as possible, but no later than 3 days
after you receive the items. If possible, take photos that
show the damage and e-mail them to us. Based on the
information we receive from you and from the carrier, we
will determine how to compensate you at reasonable terms. If you return your order without our permission, we reserve the right to charge for the shipping portion of the order and for a 30% restocking fee for the products. |
| Q: What happens if I receive the wrong items? |
| First, please accept our apologies. Second, contact us within 3 days after receipt of the shipment and let us know what you did and did not receive. We will then double-check our records and determine if our mistake caused the wrong shipment. If yes, we will send you instructions where to send back the wrong items and replace the missing items at our costs. We ask you to not ship back any items before receiving our confirmation / instructions. |
| Q: Do you provide shipping insurance for the items you ship? |
| Yes, we buy insurance for each shipment. |
| Q: I would like to place a very large order and I am wondering if you can offer less expensive shipping options? |
| Shipping costs may be lower for very large purchases. The shipping cost estimate during checkout does not reflect whole-container or shared-container shipping costs. We encourage you to contact us for special container-shipping arrangements. |
| Q: I live in a country that you do not ship to. How can I purchase your items? |
