It’s that time of the year again! The Post Office and other couriers will be off for a few days for the New Year’s holidays in Japan. HLJ will be working over the holiday to prepare your items so they can out ASAP after the break, but please note that packages will not leave our warehouse until the Post Office and couriers resume operations after their holiday period. Check below to see when your package will ship out. All dates below are in JST.
