So I guess one more month until they decide to resume their services?
It looks like the site is having an internal server error cause the page isn't loading.

Realistically speaking, they'll probably have to extend it again because people are still being infected. But it makes more sense to extend it a little bit and see how things go since we don't know how long the virus will stick around.

So it looks like Japan is starting to lift the state of emergency in much of the country. Has there been any announcements regarding the SAL restrictions?

Today I received a mail from one of the Japanese sellers on eBay and he told me the restriction on Japan's post office has not been lifted yet and offered me to ship my order via FedEx.

Even if it were lifted they've still got a sizeable backlog of EMS and Air Mail parcels to sort through before they can even think about reopening SAL.

And once again- just because they can send flights out doesn't mean anything if there's nowhere for them to land.

Amiami said they would contact people when their order was returned to sender and arrange for it to be shipped out again.

My order was returned to sender on April 14th, and they still haven't contacted me. So yeah I think there's a big backlog indeed.

I've got an EMS box from Jungle that's been sitting in Osaka for... exactly one month, as of today. Happy one-month anniversary, cases of SO-DO!

So, yeah, big ol' backlog.

Well that was creepy. Literally hours after I post this, I get an email from amiami telling me my package has returned to them.

The email stated that there is no option to re-ship at the moment. They are waiting for things to clear up (and probably a sizable backlog).

Some online stores like Mandarake have offered to reship packages via FedEx and DHL at no additional cost. I hope amiami does the same, but I'm not counting on it.

I actually had exactly this happen. Checked tracking on a SAL order from Manda from back in March that had been sitting in limbo, learned it was returned to sender (Not just updated- marked as delivered), and decided to give them a week and change to see if they got to seeing as I follow(ed) them on Twitter and they did explain the situation at length there. Finally contacted them about it, confirmed it was in their possession, and they offered to bump it up to DHL and cover the difference. I accepted and now I'm waiting on that to go through- but yeah, big backlog.

As others and myself have said- it's just stuff, I'm not overly concerned about it. Lives are worth more than a few trinkets and baubles to sit on my shelves.

Does anyone have information on Jungle Hobby shop and whether they provide shipping options to the US right now?

SHINOBI03 06-23-2020 08:53 AM
Seems like restrictions are getting lifted now. Few days ago I received one of my Japanese orders that were on hold since March and today I got shipping notification for another.

ShiShiLeo 07-05-2020 11:08 PM
Good news! Japan Post shipping has resumed!

Unfortunately, not for the US.

These countries have resumed shipping

China: EMS, Surface
Italy: EMS, Airmail
New Zealand: EMS, Airmail
Indonesia: Surface

EpsilonX 07-06-2020 08:32 AM
I'm going to cry if SAL shipments to the US don't re-open soon

MrWilliamGraham 07-06-2020 08:55 AM
Not surprised US is excluded with the wave of new cases

Stay safe everyone

I got this email from Amiami a few days ago

This notification is in regards to your order [omitted], that is currently held at our warehouse.

Due to the current suspension of shipments to your country, AmiAmi has prepared a new shipping method, "Surface Mail (Premium)", which will be used to ship orders that are currently held at our warehouse.

Your order will be updated automatically to Surface Mail (Premium) shipping, and we will contact you again to inform you when your order is ready to ship.

Please note that individual tracking for packages will not be available while the shipment is moving from Japan to the United States. However, tracking will become available after import customs check and hands the package to USPS for delivery. We will contact you again to provide you with the tracking number when it becomes available.
As this shipping method is "Surface Mail", we expect for the shipping time to be longer than all our other shipping methods.

Important: If any of the following apply, please contact us within 1 week from today.
- You wish to update to DHL shipping for faster shipping (re-submitting your payment will be required)
- You have a recently changed address
- You wish to make any changes to the order

There will NOT be any changes in the shipping cost for using Surface Mail (Premium), so there is no need for you to do anything to update the order. We will do that for you.
As usual, please contact our support team if you experience any problems with the shipment.

Thank you again for shopping at AmiAmi.

Sincerely,
AmiAmi
It's a shame that it'll be the longest shipping method, but at least I'll actually be receiving it!

Anybody who is waiting on an amiami order should check their emails, if they haven't already.

ShiShiLeo 09-10-2020 07:56 PM
I don't want to say which store, but a Japan-based hobby store I've had an order with for 4 months- I emailed them to cancel because its just been too long and they offered to send my order to me by DHL free of charge. I paid no shipping at all. Very nice of them!

DreamSword 09-10-2020 07:59 PM
Keep in mind that AmiAmi's' "surface mail" method is super slow, and also (apparently) untrackable. I've had a shipment from them that's been "shipped" for nearly a month now and it's still not here, and the tracking number they gave me doesn't seem to work with the website they recommended. So yeah.

Reviving this thread to share some new info about shipping from Japan.

Postage prices for “Airmail Small Packet” and “SAL Small Packet” for select countries are increasing starting April 1st.

This essentially means shipping costs will increase across the board for USA.

Also note that some shipping options are still restricted as a result from COVID-19 and have still not been lifted 1 year later.

Link to the Zenmarket article, but it applies to basically all shops in Japan:

Ugh. Things should be getting better, not worse. I pre-ordered some cds that come out at the end of the month and shipping is already high enough as it is, now I'm going to have to pay more? :(

I suppose that if it's for the safety of the workers, it's okay. I hope they resolve this issue soon.

ShiShiLeo 03-31-2021 09:53 PM
Well the price increases are not exactly due to COVID. Government post office prices typically change every year based on stuff like inflation and federal budget.

The distinction this year is the new zone classification of US. Shipping lanes between Asia and US might be getting tied up, but if things get better we'll likely see rates stay the same, rather than go down.

ShiShiLeo 04-27-2021 07:29 AM
Update 4/27/21:

EMS from Japan to US will restart in June.
Standard Registered Air Mail and SAL is still unavailable at this time.

Full restrictions to various countries can be seen here:

EMS shipping Japan to US has officially resumed.
