Abnormal Package Delivery Situations
You can keep track of the logistics information and shipment status of your package on the official websites of the courier companies (DHL/FedEx/SF Express, etc.). If the package's delivery status shows as "Delivered" (or similar), but the package has not been received, please get in touch with the MiauMall online customer service within three business days. During this process, the courier company may contact you by email or phone, so please check frequently for updates on your email or phone.
Please understand that a lost or returned package may fall outside of our package compensation policy under the following circumstances:
a. The recipient's name is incorrect, and the package cannot be delivered as the name is not registered at the property management office.
b. The parcel cannot be delivered due to an incorrect delivery address, change of address, or incomplete address.
c. The recipient did not cooperate with the logistics company or MiauMall to investigate the abnormal delivery situation of the parcel.
d. MiauMall or the postal company is not contacted about the situation within the agreed period of time.
Compensation Clause
Your order will typically be dispatched within 3-7 business days, but may be delayed by various factors, such as a surge in online shopping orders, the overflow of courier company warehouses, or the instability of express delivery during holidays. These delays may also happen during event periods. In these cases, your order may experience delays for 5-10 Japanese business days.
To reduce the impact on everyone's shopping during these event times, we work with additional warehouse staff and actively communicate with the courier companies to process your orders faster. During this period, the delivery time of some orders may be delayed, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. We will process overdue orders and provide compensation through vouchers or balances towards your next purchase. We will also notify you by email through our customer service email if this happens.
Overweight Fee
The maximum shipping weight quota for all orders is 10kg, and the platform has the right to charge additional shipping fees if the order package exceeds 10kg. We also reserve the right to adjust or cancel the order if it greatly exceeds the 10kg.
In the case of order weights* exceeding the specified 10kg, we will charge a fee calculated at a rate of 1500 yen per 1kg (regardless of whether the order has met the free shipping requirement).
*Order weight is calculated based on warehouse measurement data.

Additional Fees for Remote Areas
Due to the difficulty of delivery to remote areas, the courier company will charge additional fees for delivery to some areas. If the shipping address is in a remote area as specified by the courier company, the customer may be asked to pay an additional fee for remote area delivery.
Standard Fee: ¥2600 JPY (Subject to change, so please refer to the actual price charged).

Note: Passports are only used for customs declaration and clearance. Your personal information will remain confidential.
Return Orders
If the customer fails to sign for the receipt of their package within the specified time due to personal reasons, the package will be returned to Japan. The customer will be responsible for paying the return shipping and handling fee.
