We take the utmost care to safeguard all products shipped to you.
All Packages are trackable and insured.

Price Changes
Our prices are based on the Japanese Yen, which could result in price changes. Fluctuation between the Yen and your local currency is updated every 24 hours. There could also be dramatic price increases depending on the rarity of the items. There are 3 levels of rarity: Rare; Very Rare; and Collector.

Orders
Please be aware that orders placed on the Totemo Japan website cannot be combined. No items may be added to an already placed order.

Out Of Stock Items
In the event your order includes an out of stock item, we will notify you within two – three business days. We will then give you the choice of an alternative product, or receiving a voucher of comparable value, or a refund.

Vouchers And Discounts
Shipping expenses are not covered by vouchers or discounts, they are valid only for merchandise. If the entire value of your voucher is not spent, a new voucher will be immediately generated with the balance.

Parcel Tracking
Tracking information can be confirmed via your order history [CTA for order history] and items can be tracked using the tracking ID number sent on the day your order is shipped. Emails should be checked regularly and accepted from Totemo Japan for full monitoring of sent items. Please check your SPAM folder to ensure that e-mails from us do no inadvertently end up there. You will receive a confirmation e-mail once your package is shipped. In some countries you will not be notified of delivery attempts, or that your package is awaiting collection at your post office. Items returned with no claim as a reason would incur new shipping fees before they are resent.

Canceled orders attract a 10% cancellation fee.

Pre-Order Policy
At Totemo Japan, pre-order payments are deducted on the day the order is placed and orders are shipped on the release day or about 24-72 hours thereafter. In stock items purchased with pre-order items are dispatched as soon as the pre-order items are available.

Manufacturers usually provide an estimate of the size and weight of the items before the release date. However, sometimes there are discrepancies. In such cases we will notify you. The release period of a product is also subject to change, which is totally dependent on the manufacturer. The availability date and most recent data will always be updated on our product page. Please note that refunds will not be issued due to delayed release dates. Some pre-order products may be advertised with bonus items. These bonus items are available in limited quantities. Bonus items will only be included on a first come first served basis.

Shipping
Your package will be shipped within 3 – 7 business days. DHL and FedEx utilize the volume weight method to calculate the weight of a package. This calculation is based on the package’s size rather than its actual weight. Since shipping costs are determined not only by weight, but by package size and weight, the delivery price therefore changes according to the size of your package and not the weight. On occassions makers misinform us about the weights and sizes of items. Should this be the case, we will contact you on the day your package is to be shipped, to inform you of additional funds required to ship via DHL or FedEx, and to give you the option of canceling shipment with DHL or FedEx and instead use EMS, which nullifies the additional shipping cost. Please be advised that South American residents will need their Tax IDs for DHL deliveries. APO ( ) military addresses are not accepted by DHL.

For FedEx USA: Items or products with liquids ( pens, drinks, cosmetics) require a TCSA( ) form in order to be imported into the USA via FedEx services. THIS FORM is to be completed by the importer (customer) and emailed to your local FedEx representative in the US using: paperwork@fedex.com. Leave inapplicable fields blank. Items are shipped between 3 to 7 business days and for pre-order goods, 3 to 7 business days after release.

The party affected by such circumstances will notify the other within ten business days of becoming aware of them.
The two parties will then, within a period of three months, unless impossible due to force majeure, meet to examine the impact of the event and agree on the conditions under which the execution of the contract will be continued.
If the case of force majeure lasts longer than one month, the present general conditions may be terminated by the injured party.
