How much will it cost to send an international package from Japan?

The most worrying thing about cross-border shopping is probably the international shipping cost, right? Before listing the transportation expenses, I would like to introduce the transportation methods provided by Buyee. Most customers use the EMS service provided by Japan Post, and it only takes 1~2 days to receive your parcel! However, the cost will be expensive, so we suggest you to send some light models, toys, and so on!

In addition to EMS, Japan Post also offers general air transportation (AIR), economical SAL, and the cheapest shipping. Air transportation is generally expected to arrive in one week, SAL is two weeks, and the shipping is one month. For some products that cannot be shipped by Japan Post, or packages that exceed the shipping size, Buyee also offers the option of UPS so that customers can send their desired items to foreign countries. (No SAL services in Taiwan)

In addition, Hong Kong and Macao has a special DHL transportation, not only fast delivery, and sometimes cheaper than EMS! From this year, Taiwan has also launched more favorable Buyee Air Transport and ECMS, delivery time is about the same as the general air freight about a week or so will arrive, but the shipping cost may be as little as a third of the original! (you only can pick goods in convenience store for Buyee air freight)

Here are some examples of actual parcels in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the main areas of traditional Chinese language for you!! When estimating the cost of transportation, you can estimate 1 to 2 kg more as the weight of the package material. The cartons are surprisingly heavy o that you will not be shocked when you see the shipping cost (The following amounts are all in Japanese yen)

Package weight	Example of goods	Taiwan	Hong Kong
0.5kg	T-shirt, CD, small card	EMS：1400 Buyee Air Transport：450	EMS：1400 DHL：2359
1kg	Models and toys	EMS：2100 Buyee Air Transport：900 Transportation by sea：1290	EMS：2100 SAL：1800 Transportation by sea：1290
2kg	Coat	EMS：3300 Buyee Air Transport：1800 ECMS：2280	EMS：3300 SAL：2400 Transportation by sea：1900
5kg	Large models, books	EMS：6300 Buyee Air Transport：4000 Transportation by sea：2800	EMS：6300 DHL：7015 Transportation by sea：2800
10kg	Packages after centralized packing	EMS：10500 ECMS：8424 Transportation by sea：4300	EMS：10500 DHL：9031 Transportation by sea：4300

Is it easy to understand it by the llist?
As long as you add up the amount that will be generated in order, you can roughly estimate the amount that will be spent before placing a bid/order, and you can help yourself decide whether you want to buy these goods.

Let’s tell you good news for the last viewers! Almost every month, Buyee will hold a preference campaign for Rakuten and Mercari!
