Domestic Shipping Cost

At the time of this blog post, Surugaya offers free shipping if the total is over 1,500 yen (about $15.00 USD). Even if the total is under 1,500 yen, shipping is reasonable. One important point to note here is that Surugaya takes about 1 to 2 weeks before they ship the items. The reason? They have items in different store locations and they have to first gather all the items first prior to the shipment. 

International Shipping Cost from Japan

The secret to purchasing from Japan is not to buy anything too heavy! 🙂 Like a comic book set…   
 
If the weight and size of the items are small, it can qualify for a reduced shipping rate via SAL Small. Maximum shipping weight is 2kg (approximately 4.4lbs) and you can see the maximum box size below. For example, if the weight of the package is exactly 2kg and it meets the size limit, shipping to the USA will be around $24.00 w/tracking #. Delivery time is about 7 to 14 days w/tracking. Other countries take about 2 to 4 weeks.
