We do not accept Cash on Delivery (COD). If the shop only accepts C.O.D, please use our shopping service. Please note that our forwarding service is not available for items on auction sites.

Our commission is calculated based on the box size of your item (). If you purchase multiple items at a shop and they arrive in one parcel, we combine the commission. However, if the items arrive separately, the commission is calculated on each box.

Consolidation fee
If you buy multiple items, we will combine them in one box for free！

Transaction fee
5% of the total.

Storage fee
If you leave your item for more than 30 days without making a shipping request, a $1.00 storage fee will be imposed per day on each item. If another 30 days have passed without a shipping request, the item will become the property of Japamart and be resold to cover our expenses.
Please note: Large items occupy a lot of space. Please make a shipping request for a large item within 3 days or a $1.00 storage fee will be imposed per day on each item. We send you a notification by e-mail if your item falls into this category.
