#005 :: SHIPPING :
* How much is your shipping charge to USA ?
We are setting up shipping charge table on our Information page.
You can see our shipping charge on Shipping Charge page
* How long does it take to get the goods ?
It depends on your local postal delivery system.
For USA, it takes about 5 to 7 days if you want it shipped by AIR mail.
As we are using EMS-AIR mail , it may be shorted than normal AIR mail.
By this EMS air mail, e.g..to USA, our goods will reach USA Customs tomorrow!!
For ordinary videos that we are dealing , we can gather them from maker within about 3 days.
For other special videos, we have to wait that receiving from makers. It's around 10 to 20 days.
So after then we can ship out any goods for you according as your shipping way.
Notice!! this delivery days are after our shipping out, so that if we have to wait gathering
products from makers, you need wait for more days.
This gathering days depend on maker by maker. We need one day to 2 weeks for gathering.
Basically, we will ship out your ordered goods after we received all of them from makers.
Attackers, SOD, Moodyz... | need 2 to 3 days |
most other makers etc.. | need 3 to 7 days |
Every books | need 7 to 15 days |
* Can you ship the goods by SEA ?
Yes, of course.
If it is not a rush order, the total charge could be much lower if you use SEA shipping.
We will be able to use SEA mail shipping. But it's not reliable shipping method !!!
If you will take any trouble in such SEA shipping, you may loose some money.
* Why don't you use Normal AIR shipping ?
Yes, we are using EMS AIR MAIL for air mail shipping.
The reason why we use this way, it's express delivery and registered.
To avoid the risk and trouble of non-delivery and to track packages easily,
we will use this EMS shipping system.
But,, this EMS shipping is one of Regsitered mailling way, so If you are not at your home,
it will delay....(yout post office may keep it by themselves..)
If you are off your home during day, Please tell us your condition. We may be able to ship
out goods by normal air mail. according only your request. But Note! it's not registered.
* I live in S-KOREA. Will I have any problems getting the adult goods ?
For some Asian countries, the local custom may not allow these adult goods to be cleared.
Recently, some goods to Canada or Germany have problems too.
* Delivery to Germany, there are many many German Customs checking.
* Now, we have been stopping to deliver good to Germany.
* Strict countries : Finland, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Thailand, S-korea, HongKong, Canada ....
For these cases, we will take following way...
Take off all adult covers, Send as Private Gift....
(((More , if you want the shipping with no covers and no plastic cases, it's better , since the package will be so small and light weight.)))
Contents as Computer Accessory, or Educational BOOK-set etc...
This way may be usually safe.
In any case, you should check with your local laws. If you have a good idea, please tell us.
* I am living in China , can you proceed my order ?
Very sorry , to China , we cannot proceed anything at now. since it's very very strict for adult goods in your country.
* What is there better way to ship to country where it's very strict for Adult contents ?
This is a very important question !!
Yes, we know some country are strict for Adult contents even if they are mosaic censored .
S-Korea, HongKong, Singapore, Taiwan ...etc.. Asian countries.
Canada , Germany ., England , Turkey , Latvia ..... etc...
As mentioned above, for these countries, we are using Private GIFT with wrapping pretty paper, but it's not 100% safely.
The package we sent may be send back to us, ( it takes around 60 days later.) or your Customs may take away the package to else where...
If that package was sent back to us and we will send it to you again , we will charge on you another shipping fee.
Again, in these shipping cases, we are taking off adult covers from video packages, if you would like to get these covers, we will charge on you another shipping fee for these covers, It's around 1,000 yen for normal air shipping.
If your order amount is over 3 videos, we recommend you to separate into some packages for shipping. Since it's for avoiding any troubles. Your Customs may check for BIG and heavy packages.
In such cases, the shipping fee is a little higher, but we think it may be good method for you.
If we sent all in one package some videos , and your Customs took away , then you can receive nothing.
Just your Customs can receive all !!
* Since I do not live alone, I do not want others to know I am ordering adult products. Is that a problem?
No problem. We have special considerations for customers like you, we will send you the products in packages that indicate "Books" and Private Gift. Expensive Price will not be indicated.
Still more, we usually wrap them with pretty gift wrapping paper and send them as Gift as your request.
* It's not convenience for me that you send by registered mail, since I am not at home during all day. How can you help me ?
Yes , in such case, we will be able to use normal AIR mailing way, but please remember that it's not safe way. In this case , even if you have delivery trouble, we can do nothing for you.
More, in this shipping case, we charge on you the same fee as EMS air mail.
* Can you send to my PO.BOX ?
Sure!! We are shipping goods to many member's PO.BOX. by EMS mail.
But if your PO.BOX is not enough large or full of many mail, that postal guy may not be able to put our package into your BOX. For avoid these trouble, we are writing your phone number on delivery sheet. So that could you please tell us your phone number ?
* When our postal guy come to my house, I'm absent, so I have not received my order....
Yes, our EMS air mail need your stay and received signature. So in such case , you should chose NORMAL AIR MAIL method and apply us so. Any way, for a few weeks, your post office ( delivery guys ) will keep that package.
So that you can ask that office to bring to you ..
If you did not ask them , that package will come back to us after about 2 months.
If you would like to send it to you , again, we need another shipping fee and we will charge on you that fee.
