    Hello Libris,

    We have not yet received any information regarding additional shipping methods for Russia, but we will make sure to post an announcement as soon as we receive any information.

    For updates regarding the situation with Japan Post, please refer to the COVID-19 shipping restrictions article, that will be updated when there are any changes.

    Hi there! I got an email today that one of my orders is going to be shipped through surface mail premium, I have 9 other orders at your warehouse and was wondering if those would also be shipped through surface mail premium

    Hello Andrea P Camargo,

    Currently the type of goods that can be shipped by Surface Mail (Premium) is restricted, due to requirement for additional shipping documentation. We are however working on acquiring the necessary information, so that more orders will become eligible for Surface Mail (Premium) shipping.

    It is therefore likely that more of your orders will become available for this shipping method in the future.

    Also note that due to space limitations, older orders may be prioritized.

    Hello. I have received a Shipping Notification in 09/17/2020 with this method telling me I have a parcel registration number, but when I enter the number in the Japan Post site, it says it doesn't exist (** Your item was not found. Confirm your item number and ask at your local office.). My question is: is the order going to show up until it arrives in the United States? If so, that's okay! I'm just curious and kinda nervous because right now I just don't know if I have the wrong number (I copy it directly from the email) or if this is just how it is and I just have to sit and wait. Thanks!

    Hello Victor Manuel Campos Maldonado,

    Packages shipped by Surface Mail (Premium) will not have any online tracking available until they arrive in the United States. Also note that the tracking number will change when the package is handed over to USPS for delivery, so we will send you a new notification with your tracking number when the tracking becomes available.

    It should take roughly a month from shipment, until the package arrives to the United States, so it is likely that you should receive the second notification around the end of October.

    Hello team! I'm currently a bit wary of shipping via surface mail and am wondering if there are any additional precautions taken to assure safe delivery of these rather fragile figures (additional padding, reinforced containers, etc.) As I'd rather have safely shipped figures rather than being reimbursed. Thank you!

    Hello Christopher Droste,

    We would like to ensure you that all packages are packed to provide safe shipping of the items.

    Furthermore, Surface Mail (Premium) is safer than Surface Mail (Regular), and the largest reason for this is the fact that we rent a full container for the shipment to the United States, meaning that there will be less individual handling of the packages, which also means less risk of damages.

    What we have seen so far, form the current ongoing trial, there has not yet been any reports of damaged items. Which seem to support the claims that this shipping method should be safe, and in case there are any problems, all packages are insured.

    Please also not that you have the option to use DHL shipping, which is both safe and the fastest shipping method that we have available.

    Does shipping damages include Package Loss? I sent in a ticket and have not heard back. I opened a claim with my local post office and they have concluded the package is actually loss and cannot be found anymore. Just wondering what my next steps are... I am also very concerned about another package I am receiving via this method as well becoming lost too.
