What happens when a parcel arrives

JPS records the warehouse arrival and performs a basic receiving check.

The basic check confirms the shipment broadly matches the expected order.

It is not professional authentication, electronics testing, expert grading, or detailed accessory verification.

Free storage

JPS provides:

60 days free warehouse storage

Photos

Optional warehouse photos cost:

¥500/item

Photos can help confirm visible condition before international forwarding.

Consolidation

Eligible purchases can be combined for:

¥1,000 consolidation fee

The final outbound parcel still requires packing.

Packing

International parcel packing starts from:

¥500 per parcel

Reopening an already prepared parcel

If a prepared parcel must be opened again:

Parcel unpacking: ¥1,000

If the parcel is then repacked or split, a new packing fee applies.

International shipping

JPS charges:

Actual carrier rate — no JPS markup

Available options depend on destination, weight, dimensions, contents, and carrier restrictions.

Carrier shipping protection

Carrier shipping protection applies according to the selected carrier’s terms.

JPS assists with eligible carrier claims.

JPS does not present this as separate JPS-owned insurance.

Forwarding restrictions

Check before purchase when the item contains batteries, liquids, aerosols, alcohol, perfume, compressed gas, or restricted chemicals.

A domestic Japanese delivery does not guarantee international forwarding eligibility.
