Godzilla Chronicles First Edition 1st Printing Art Photo Book 1998 from Japan

Description: Shipping When a product, like a metal slime golf ball marker, is shipped from Japan within 7 business days via FedEx or Japan Post, several specific rules and conditions typically apply. Here's a breakdown of what that generally means: Origin - Japan: The item is located in Japan, and the shipping process will initiate from there. The location can affect the shipping time５ especially for international orders. 5 Business Days: This refers to the handling time, which is the period the seller takes to dispatch the item after receiving the order. Business days usually exclude weekends and public holidays. So, if you order on a Monday, the item will be shipped by the following Wednesday at the latest, assuming there are no public holidays in between. Shipping Services - FedEx or Japan Post: FedEx: An international courier service known for fast and reliable shipping. FedEx often provides tracking services and various speed options. Shipping via FedEx can be more expensive but is generally quicker and provides more robust delivery options and better parcel protection. Japan Post: The national postal service of Japan, offering international shipping services. It might have slower delivery compared to FedEx, especially for standard options. However, it's often more economical and is a reliable choice for less urgent shipments. They also provide different tiers of service, including EMS (Express Mail Service), which is faster and offers tracking. Customs and Duties: When shipping internationally, the package may be subject to customs inspection and duties in the destination country. These fees are typically the buyer's responsibility and can vary widely based on the item's value, type, and the country's regulations. Tracking and Insurance: Depending on the specific service chosen (FedEx or a particular tier of Japan Post), tracking and insurance might be included or available for an additional fee. These options provide security for both the seller and the buyer, ensuring the package's journey can be monitored and compensation provided in case of loss or damage. Delivery Time: The actual time it takes for the item to arrive will depend on the shipping service chosen and the destination. FedEx generally delivers quicker than standard Japan Post services, but both services' express options can provide fast delivery times. Packaging: Items shipped from Japan are well-packaged to protect them during their international journey. For delicate items like a metal golf ball marker, expect secure packaging to prevent damage. Customer Service: If issues arise, both FedEx and Japan Post have customer service options, but the level of support and ease of communication might vary depending on your location and the service chosen.International Buyers - Please Note:When you buy an item on eBay, especially from another country, you might be subject to customs duties and taxes imposed by your country's customs department.

It's a good idea to consult your country's customs website for specific details.Billing and Payment: If additional charges are due upon the item's arrival in your country, you'll usually be notified by the shipping company (like FedEx or the local postal service) that there are customs duties and taxes to pay before you can receive your item.Documentation and Delays: The seller should provide the necessary customs documentation, like a commercial invoice, which will be attached to the package.Be aware that items may be held at customs until duties and taxes are paid, which can cause delays.Why Charges Vary: Charges vary due to different national policies, trade agreements, and item classifications.
