Delivery

Dispatched from Japan by Japan Post EMS within 2 working days of your order. Delivery usually takes about 10–14 working days after dispatch. That is Japan Post's standard for this destination, counted from dispatch rather than from your order; it is an estimate, not a guaranteed date, and customs clearance can add to it. Delivery to Sweden is included in the price. Any import duties or taxes charged on arrival are paid by the recipient. If you pay import duties or taxes, we reimburse the amount actually paid, up to US$20 (approximately €18) per order, as a partial refund to your original payment method. Email your order number and proof of payment of the customs or carrier tax invoice to info@ofutonkobo.com within 60 days of receiving your order. The euro amount is indicative. Amounts above this limit and customs clearance fees remain payable by you.
