https://support.amiami.com/hc/en-us/...pril-8th-2020-
It looks like the Japanese post has halted all SAL shipments worldwide and restricted shipments for a number of other methods. So if any of you ordered any figures or anything from Japan, you might not be getting them for a while. I included the amiami link because it seemed more relevant for us (since we're geeks and we like toys ) but their post has some other resources you can check as well. edit: Note that this happened at the beginning of the month. I'm posting it now because I just found out and didn't see anything about it on this site.

Yeah I already had an amiami returned to sender. I placed the order long before April 1st, but it still never made it out of Japan (it was SAL).
Typically, amiami makes you pay for postage again if it was undeliverable (according to their FAQ). That's going to be a real bummer if I have to pay for shipping again... |

Well at least you got that. My last two orders were well- and right before the deadline, SAL and Air Mail, respectively. Haven't budged, don't expect to see them until mid-summer at best.

I pre-ordered the Kiramager mini-pla in like Feb and tracking just told me today that it was returned to sender. I also have the Leopardon Super Mini-Pla on pre-order, I hope things clear up by then.

I was a good chunk of time into putting together an order off of JUNGLE last night when their site devoured my cart. I was bummed at first, the time I wasted, but now I feel like I dodged a bullet. I'd rather waste the time than the money, you know?
Still, not being able to get months worth of SO-DO releases from AmiAmi is going to feel not super great. Hopefully everyone there stays safe and services can restart without too many negative effects on the various companies. (Gotta wonder what "can't ship internationally" is going to do to places like Mandarake and AmiAmi.)

DHL seems to be a bit slowed but largely unaffected seeing as they don't piggyback off of commercial flights like Japan Post and most other postal services do. So there are still shipping options, there's just going to be a longer wait time, and likely an increased cost.

I don't know how many people use it, but Buyee (and from what a friend said Zenmarket as well) is extending their holding process for anything you order by up to sixty days so that way you don't buy something and it just sits before being sent back. They also noted in their update that potentially it could take up to two weeks to load/unload international mail.

EMS, Air Small Packet, and DHL are still open, though with significant delays- Air Small Packet in particular.

I ordered a bunch of things. The saddest would be SHF Zero-One because this store I bought probably has the Asian release version, which explains why they tend to arrive 2 months after initial release.

I had a Figuarts Ibuki and Mach coming SAL, and a Baron coming Air Small Packet.
And no updates sadly. |
