One of my orders from CDJapan was returned to sender. From what I've briefly read on the Japan Post website and the CDJapan COVID19 FAQ page, there are reduced flights out of Japan so your nice Chogokin (or other item) you bought from a Japan online retailer may be delayed or returned to sender. . You might have to pay higher postage costs i.e couriers such FedEX, DHL. I think I have a few pre-orders at AmiAmi and CDJapan as well. MODS: If this is in the wrong forum area, please move (but I think it would get more views here)

As far as I know japan post is not working normally. Hlj has allow people to left things at their private warehouse until mail is working normally.

Is this a very recent change? I notice SAL has been suspended to US (as well as all other major countries) since early April. But I checked Amiami & Mandarake and shipping to US is still available for EMS, Air, and DHL as of April 18th.
For those of you that had packages sent back to the shop, what shipping methods was that? Want to see if that just applies to certain shipping methods, or did they escalated the situation suspending even more shipping methods that used to be fine.

As far as I know EMS and Airmail are still available but heavily delayed. Think of them as a new SAL option.

DHL seems to be going strong still... I bought a figure off Mandarake last week and the delivery is expected for Thursday.

I don't mind the delay on EMS or Air, under current situations. Just want to make sure they still work and not have package blocked/sent back. Still have some pieces trying to get before a total shutdown (hopefully won't come to that).

Just put in an order at Mandarake yesterday, and they still able to ship EMS seems like (confirmed, paid, and processing). I am sure it will get delayed so I won't be surprised if this EMS takes a week or two. But at least the order didn't get denied (not yet anyway).

On April 24th, they're also going to suspend both EMS and Airmail for shipments to the U.S. www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/0423_03.htmlI had something shipped out a few days ago via EMS, but now it'll probably get returned to the sender. What sucks is that I tried to have this shipped out using SAL a month ago, but I should have used EMS then. Ah well, just have to be patient now.

Aww, just when I thought I can make my Mandarake order before the cut off (got shipping confirmation this morning), I guess it will get sent back and sit in limbo for a while. Too bad.
