Amiami has updated their front page with a notice that they're discontinuing Surface Mail, and a temporary suspension of DHL shipments, to the US.

Dear Customers,

We would like to bring to your attention an important update regarding our shipping options to the United States. Due to the recently announced import tariffs, we regret to inform you that we are temporarily suspending the "Surface Mail (Premium)" shipping method.

Unlike other shipping methods, the tariffs associated with "Surface Mail (Premium)" are charged directly to our store. As we do not pass these additional charges on to our customers, this situation has created a challenge that prevents us from continuing to operate this particular shipping method. Furthermore, given the rapidly changing circumstances regarding the tariffs, we are unable to devise a viable adjustment plan at this time. As a result, all shipments using "Surface Mail (Premium)" will be suspended until further notice.

Effective April 9th, the "Surface Mail (Premium)" shipping method will no longer be an available option when we issue invoices for orders and send payment requests to our customers. While we will continue to invoice orders as usual, "Surface Mail (Premium)" will not be offered as an available shipping method at that point. Additionally, we are currently preparing an announcement with instructions regarding changes to shipping methods for orders already placed and paid for but still on hold. We kindly ask for your patience as we work to issue further updates in the coming days.

Thank you for your continued support and patronage.

Sincerely,
AmiAmi

Dear Customers,

Due to recent changes and uncertainties affecting international shipments, we will be temporarily suspending all DHL shipments to the United States from April 29th through May 9th, 2025. Please note that this suspension period may be extended depending on future developments.

- Japan Post shipments to the United States are expected to continue as usual.
- If there are any updates or changes to shipment options or import regulations, we will notify customers as soon as possible.
At this time, selecting DHL as a shipping method will still be available for orders awaiting payment. However, any orders paid for with DHL selected during the suspension period will be placed on hold and shipped once DHL service resumes. We recommend choosing an alternative shipping method if timely delivery is required.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this period.

Kind regards,
AmiAmi

So you're saying that you have, of your own free will, entered a room, bound and determined not to read it while you shame everyone else in it.

You must be popular at parties.
