About International Shipping
Notice: Shipments to the United States have resumed.
However, due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariff collection, we may request customers to arrange their own courier service for large orders (over $100) or heavy items (such as presses or denim).
Please cooperate to help reduce order confusion and ensure smooth shipping.
I handle most of the work alone. Therefore, while it's impossible to completely eliminate delays or errors, I kindly ask for your cooperation in reducing these issues.
> Please do not send multiple orders. I cannot tell if they are combined or updates. If I find multiple orders, I may delete them all, so please be careful. (This does not apply to duplicate submissions caused by server errors.)
> Do not use the order form to check shipping costs. Shipping costs will not be displayed this way, and the order will be submitted. Please refer to the table on this page for shipping cost estimates.
> Do not send order lists as images. If orders don't arrive as text through the system, processing becomes difficult. Such orders will likely be delayed.
> Please write your address clearly on the order. Labels require city and state information. Missing this forces us to look it up online, wasting time and quickly pushing against pickup deadlines. Naturally, this also increases the risk of errors, leading to frequent delivery failures.
Notice: Refused packages will not be refunded
I am aware that VAT is high in Europe and other regions. There have been cases where taxes amounting to nearly the full price of the item were charged.
However, even if you refuse delivery due to tax payments or other reasons, the money will not be refunded.
If customs duties and VAT were known in advance, we could trade under conditions that foster greater mutual understanding. But at present, this is not working well. I hope to switch to a prepaid system in the future.
In any case, if you have lingering concerns about taxes, I recommend not placing an order.
Now, the order form is not difficult. However, there are a few traps.
As long as you don't make these three caveats, it will work.
1) Check "PayPal_International".
2) Please select your country.
3) Be sure to enter your phone number.

Point 3 has changed to a procedure for selecting the country to which the item will be shipped.

The official PayPal amount will be sent to you by email a short time after you submit the form, so it's not a smooth payment.
Please do not panic and wait.
I plan to update this page frequently.
Here is a price list that serves as a guide for shipping costs.

The orange numbers are optional shipping costs that prioritize price over speed. It will suggest two shipping charges for light orders.
(-Note!-) We currently do not offer low-cost shipping options (orange text) to the United States.
There are some exceptions not included in this table (e.g., Georgia , Nepal etc), and we will notify you of the slightly higher shipping costs by email.
About taxes
Unfortunately, import taxes must be researched and prepared by the buyer. In most cases, the delivery company will charge you for these taxes.
In addition to taxes, brokerage fees may also be charged. Please note that these fees cannot be paid in advance.
