Shipping Fees

配送料金

Shipping fees include domestic and international shipping


Domestic shipping fee

This fee covers the cost of shipping from the store to Buyee's warehouse in Japan. Payment for domestic delivery is made to in advance the store by Buyee on behalf of the customer.
Domestic shipping fees vary based on the package's weight, size, origin, and shipping method. Typically, the price falls within the range of 150 yen to 1,500 yen.
As a general rule, we request that stores use a shipping method with tracking to minimize the risk of packages getting lost during transit.
If the store provides a shipping method with no tracking, we may require to switch to a shipping method with tracking.
Therefore, even "free shipping" items might require a domestic shipping fee due to a change in shipping method.
For package management purposes, we may have to process each order, even if purchased from the same store, and therefore domestic shipping charges may apply to each order.


International Shipping Fees

This is the shipping fee from Buyee's warehouse to our customers.
International shipping fees are calculated based on weight and size, so we are unable to provide customers with information on international shipping fees until the item arrives at the warehouse and the weight and size are precisely determined. International shipping fees will vary depending on the shipping method used, the weight and size of the package, the shipping carrier and other factors.
Although these are merely estimates, approximate international shipping costs can be calculated using the
international shipping fee simulator. Customers considering purchasing large packages (bumpers, tires and others) might experience differences in the fees quoted in the International Shipping Fee Estimation Tool. Please also refer to the information in the Shipping Very Large Packages Guide.


International Shipping Estimation Tool

This is a estimation tool for international shipping. You can check the international shipping fee and delivery time.
