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

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.

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

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.

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.
