  • How long will it take me to get my order?
    SHIPPING Shipping rates are flat for all domestic , your orders may take up to 2-4 weeks to arrive. Many orders arrive sooner, depending on the immediate availability of ordered items. Please note, we ask that you allow up to 14 days for your package to be delivered before contacting us to open a lost box claim. JAPA is not responsible for lost/stolen items. In the case of a lost/stolen package please contact the carrier directly. Once the order is in the possession of the carrier we do not see it again. JAPA is unable to replace items lost by the post office or stolen free of charge. We will, however, do everything in our power to assist you! For Faster or Fastest shipping, our Expedited shipping rates vary based on weight, mailing address, desired delivery date. Please note, while most packages do arrive within 1-4 business days of the estimated 'faster/fastest' delivery date, we DO NOT guarantee delivery on the estimated date shown during checkout. All orders placed before 11 AM PST, will ship out the same day, any order placed after will ship the following business day. Once your order has been placed, you'll first receive an order confirmation email followed by a shipment notification email with tracking once shipped. Major holidays also will increase shipping time. Please be mindful that our very small staff does not work on these days as we feel they deserve to spend time with their families. Products from the same order are often shipped from different warehouses. This does not affect your shipping cost but may require the order to be delivered in multiple packages and the shipping time may vary. You can also check the status of your order by logging into your account. Please note that during sales & promotions, processing times may increase as order influx increases at those times. Please allow up to 5 business days to receive a response from customer service during this time. We strive to send orders out as quickly as possible and will notify you of any major delays. We currently ship within the United States and to the following countries: Åland Islands, Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bouvet Island, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Guadeloupe, Guernsey, Vatican City, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Malta, Mayotte, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Réunion, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS All international orders will be shipped via USPS First Class International. Please note that the typical delivery time will generally be 14-21 days from shipment, possibly longer depending on your country. You will receive a tracking and a customs confirmation number confirming acceptance by the post office to forward onto Customs for international shipment. Once an order has been shipped from our facility, we are no longer responsible for mail delays and certain other extenuating circumstances are beyond our control (i.e Covid 19 regulations, customs delays, etc.) Customs fees vary by country. The customer is solely responsible for any customs duties or taxes associated with their purchase.
