Shipping to Japan

First order to Japan from US, any tips, can I ship in a padded bubble mailer envelope? Does the etsy custom form require I do anything different? Thanks!

Re: Shipping to Japan

I haven't shipped there in a few years, but I remember having issues with the addresses they gave me, many times. Sometimes, they were including Japanese text and they would not work with Etsy labels. Etsy cannot verify international addresses. Hopefully yours is a complete address as required to get to your buyer. The international label had all the info needed, unless they have changed that since I shipped, it was not a problem.

Thanks! It seemed to work ok since the buyer gave me her address in non character language, it is going through a USPS exporting company now, I hope it gets there ok, I had one to Sweden recently too

Re: Shipping to Japan

I have shipped successfully to Japan many times with no issues. I usually ship jewelry items in a small box with extra padding. They arrive quickly and the buyers there are very appreciative. I am always happy to receive a sale from Japan.

Re: Shipping to Japan

I have shipped to Japan many times and have never had an issue.  Uusually no special characters, but I cut and paste addresses if I don't have the characters on my keyboard.  This goes for any international country.  I have done this recently with an order from Gemany.
