Delivery to Japan is Just a Hop Away!

Without a doubt, Japan is one of the most technologically-advanced and breathtaking countries in the world. It’s an exquisite place where traditionalism meets novelty, and that’s what makes it so unique and one of the most-visited places in the world. It is also one of the top country choices for small-business owners to expand their networks to.

Regardless if you are a businessperson or if you just want to exchange some American souvenirs and snacks for Japanese ones with your online friend or pen pal, PackageHopper might just be the best option for you! We offer the best shipping rates and fastest routes from the US to over 210 countries worldwide.

What Can I Ship to Japan?

If you’re trying to prepare a surprise for a friend in Japan, ask your friend questions about what they would like to try from the US—or if they have an interest in an American sports team or a certain celebrity—and choose the most suitable fan gear and gifts. It’s even easier if you already know of some US-exclusive items that they’ll absolutely love. However, make sure to check that your limited edition figurines or exclusive sold-out merch isn’t on the Restricted and Prohibited Items list! We want your package to make it safely to Japan. 

Japan also has strict customs rules, so you must get acquainted with those first before buying everything and filling up your shipment box. We recommend you visit the official website of any country for specific details about import/export. Since your package will be travelling to the other side of the world, you might consider protecting your shipment with insurance and securing any fragile items with bubble wrap too.

Once you’ve got that all figured out, go ahead and prepare your package for send-off on our easy-to-use rate estimate page. Enter your zip code the destination country (Japan), the full package weight, et voilà! Simply print the labels and customs forms provided by us and bring the package at your nearest drop-off point for our carriers to pick it up and ship it out.

Costs, Carriers and Delivery Time 

PackageHopper teamed up with some of the best US shipping carriers—UPS and FedEx—to ensure our customers get the best rates! 

Each carrier offers two delivery options: standard or priority. The best choice is dependent on your budget, speed expectations, and what you feel is best for your recipient. Our carriers can deliver your package in as little as 1-3 or 2-5 business days with amazing rates for each option. 

With FedEx Economy, you can get your package to Japan in 2-5 business days, while FedEx Priority can get it there in 1-3 business days. You may choose this super-fast option if you’re sending over holiday or birthday-timed items to make sure they’ll get it in time. 

We also have UPS Worldwide Saver option, delivered in 1-3 business days, and UPS Expedited, which will take 2-5 business days. 

If you’re not in a hurry, and the surprise package is literally a surprise with no special event or countdown timer attached, we’ve made sure that the lowest price is the best price you can find for international delivery all the way to Japan.

With such a great distance for your package to travel, it’s a good thing we have updated tracking info—so you’ll know your package’s current location each step of the way! PackageHopper promises professional handling and safe delivery, no matter your carrier choice.
