General Shipping Information Post.
Information about shipping with a courier (Yamato/UPS).
A very BASIC breakdown the shipping situation as of February 2023. Please read links above for detailed info.
Japan Post EMS is available for most places with a few exceptions, mostly in Europe.
Japan Post Airmail (small packet/e-packet) is not available for the USA and Canada. It is available for Australia, New Zealand, and some places in Asia, South America, and Europe (but not all countries). ***Tracking on airmail is not always reliable outside of Japan!!!
Alternative methods, including Yamato Transport/UPS (a private courier) and Surface Mail (boat shipping), are available for most places with some exceptions.
ONLINE SHOP RELATED INFORMATION:
Tenshi’s personal online shop, which you can usually access from the Tenshishop main page, is currently purposely hidden from the main site and the cart system is disabled (you cannot check out). The cart system needs updating and is not set up to handle automatic shipping calculations with all the shipping issues that COVID has caused. Items listed on the shop are still available and might still show up in Google searches or with direct links. If you have found something in Tenshi’s online shop that you want to buy, please don’t hesitate to contact me via a general contact form to discuss being invoiced directly (or adding to a shopping service).

Buying tickets for events, amusement parks, and concerts in Japan:
Now that Japan’s borders have reopened I am getting a lot of requests for services for concert and event tickets/reservations. However, over the course of COVID, ticketing systems in Japan have changed a lot and it has become very difficult for me to help people get tickets.

Tenshi will make several short trips within Japan during March and April 2023.
March 9th-11th
April 7th-9th
April 24th-26th
Services will remain open during all three periods, but please understand that response time, order processing time, and shipping time will likely all be disrupted/slower due to a pile up of orders. Your understanding is appreciated.
