Dropshipping to Japan

Each parcel is packed in Canton, China within 2–3 business days of payment, then handed to a tracked air service, cleared for export by Chinese customs, flown out of China towards Japan, cleared by Japanese customs, free of duty and consumption tax up to a customs value of JPY 10,000, with Japan Post collecting them on delivery above that, and delivered by a local carrier in Japan, usually 6 to 7 business days after dispatch. In total that is 8 to 10 business days from payment to delivery. The tracking number is emailed when the parcel ships, and the diagram and the video at the top of this page show each stop.

Your customer, on delivery, and only when it is due: we do not prepay them. A parcel with a customs value of JPY 10,000 or less, goods plus shipping on a partner order, is exempt; above that Japan Post collects the 5% simplified duty, the 10% consumption tax and its JPY 200 handling charge before handing over the parcel.

We hand the parcel to the carrier within 2 to 3 business days of payment, and delivery to Japan usually takes 6 to 7 business days after dispatch, so list our handling time plus 6 to 7 business days of transit. Tracking can be quiet for a few days while the parcel is in the air and in customs, which is normal.

No minimum: any stock style from one piece at the partner price, mixed as you like, and no contract. Opening the account costs nothing. Your account can open the price list for 3 days (72 hours) from the moment it was opened. After that, a pass keeps it open for one year: the View Pass for the price list and orders, the Access Pass adds the photos and files, the Connect Pass adds the store connector for your platform. A paid order keeps the price list open for 12 months.

Log in to the Partner Portal, add the piece to the cart, choose Ship to: My customer with their address, and pay at checkout by credit or debit card, Shop Pay or PayPal. We ship straight to your customer in plain packaging and send you the tracking number; the parcel is handed to the carrier within 2 to 3 business days of payment. Every order is paid before it ships; there is no credit account.

Unbranded shipping is the default on every dropship order: a plain parcel with no logo, and inside no invoice, no price slip and none of our contact details, so your customer sees your brand only. Private label puts your logo on our stock boxes from one box: boxes are priced per box, plus a $49.99 logo set-up per box style and production run, and a dropship order packed in your box adds $1.99 for the packing, your card included. Packaging designed from scratch starts at 1,000 sets.

A Shopify store connects with the Connect Pass ($99.99, valid for one year): the styles you choose load into your store as drafts with photos, specifications and your partner cost, paid orders reach us on their own, the tracking number is written back to each order, and each size is marked in stock or sold out every 10 minutes. Squarespace, WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce and Ecwid each have their own Connect Pass at the same price, and a store you built yourself can use the Partner API. On any other platform you place each order through the Partner Portal cart and add the tracking number to your store.

Orders at partner price are final sale. If a piece arrives faulty, wrong or damaged in transit, tell us within 3 calendar days of delivery and we replace it or credit your account. If the carrier confirms a parcel lost, we send a replacement; raise it within 30 days of the ship date. A parcel that comes back for a wrong address or because nobody accepted it is shipped again at your cost.
