01
Calculate shipping with the actual basket
CDJapan's cart calculator shows available methods after the destination is selected. For several items, calculate the complete combination rather than multiplying a one-item quote.
Large bonus packaging or a figure box can change the parcel. Recheck the shipping step before final confirmation.
02
Plan mixed release dates and preorder deadlines
Preorder deadlines use Japan time and stock allocations may close earlier. Record the release month and deadline for every item.
Before combining products with different release dates, confirm whether the order waits, splits or creates additional shipping. The lowest item total may not produce the lowest final delivery cost.
03
Check customs and tracking for the destination
CDJapan publishes destination-specific information for duties, VAT/GST and tax identification. Available prepayment and carrier collection methods can differ by country.
Tracking visibility depends on the shipping method and local delivery network. Choose the method according to the value and replacement difficulty of the order.
