About shipping:
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, JFigure.com ships worldwide as far as Japan Post serves the area.
How long does it take to process my order before shipping?
Please allow us 3-7 days for preparation and inspection of the product before shipping. It is important because we deal with pre-owned products. An e-mail will be sent when your order has been shipped.
There are times when we need more days, for example, in busy seasons when we have to work on large orders. You will be updated if there is such delay.
How do I know the cost of shipping?
You just have to put the desired products in your cart and click the icon, “Estimate Shipping”. You will find the price of the various shipping method available.
*Shipping cost includes our handling charges.
How do you pack the product?
We wrap the figure by air bubble sheet and pack in a hard cardboard box. We pay extra attention for packing to prevent damage during transport. We have a lot of experience of sending "boxless" figures safely, too.
We used recycled cardboard box to reduce the cost. It may look not nice outside but works perfect to protect the inside. So we appreciate your understanding.
In case that you received your order damaged during transport, please follow
>>this procedure.
