I would rather get my stuff months later than have to pay for shipping twice.

Does anyone have any idea how this might effect sites that sell imports? Would, say, BBTS put prices up on pre-ordered items?

They were restricted since March as far as I know. I still haven't received some of my eBay purchases I made last March 7th.
At early April I tried again and this is the message I received: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/in...401_02_en.html |

Still, in the short-term, I don't think you've got much to worry about. BBTS is probably going to be reluctant to increase advertised prices, especially with easily-cancellable pre-orders already placed by consumers, so it's more likely things'll just be delayed. Long-term, though, yes. All of this stuff is going to start to get more expensive. Shutting down and slowing down, that costs companies money. Manufacturing, shipping, wholesaling, retailing. Everyone's going to be trying to make up lost revenue. Additional costs are going to be added to every step in the process. Probably not a ton, there's still a limit to what a market can bear, but they're going to push right up against that limit.

So my order from mandarake (not toku but still this is related to the topic) may end up being delayed, it's been in processing at a facility in Hakata since the 13th.

Does this effect EMS shipping too?

Yes. EMS is still available for certain regions like the US, but expect delays. The reason being that as there are fewer commercial flights leaving the country, which Japan Post piggybacks off of (as do most postal services), its ability to send items internationally is drastically reduced.

That's what I thought, which is why I cancelled most of my pre-orders for this month. Of course Wolf has to be in stock now too.... |
