Hey everybody, Welcome to the Japan Post office here in cuBA she that I go to quite often and I just asked them all about the package situation going on here.

The imperative

Yeah, so I've just been notified by Japan post uhh that international packages being sent from Japan are no longer being accepted for small packets to the United States.

Australia and to Canada, there are certain situations where packages are not able to be sent to Canada now and this just happened today.

Apparently I put a link in the description.

If you'd like to look at the notification, the alert from Japan post on this information, you can go and check it out.

The link is in the description of this video.

So I went into the nice ladies in here at kobayashi and they made me a little graph here.

So this is the current situation to the Usa Canada and Australia small packet and she was so nice to put a little small packets damp on there uh to the United States and Australia is not available to be sent, which is going to hurt my, our Kickstarter project, we're going to try to find a way around that.

S, which is a faster delivery service is available to the United States but it's not available to Canada and Australia.

So basically Australia packages are right now suspended.

Canada is okay for small packet and the United States is okay for E.

I understand because I'm trying to get my head around, wrap my head around this as well.

Now according to the ladies at the post office, I'll be able to send the postcards for our Kickstarter project from Nagano tomorrow.

Just fine postcards and letters are not impacted by this, but packages are and this is crazy.

So hopefully these postcards that I said to Patreon supporters about three weeks ago do arrive.

I just know that they once again reminded me that the United States and Australia packages are super slow right now.

So if you haven't received your postcard yet for last month, it is on the way, they assured me just give it a little bit more time.

There's the symbol for the post office right there.

So I wanted to show you what some of the options that you have if you're trying to be sending.

I think it's okay here trying to be sending packages to packages to the United States and Canada for christmas.

This is sort of a big deal because I have packages I want to send, not just to my supporters on Patreon but also to, to family members living in these places around the world.

So for the United States, United States here, this is the list for E.

S, which is international speed delivery.

Um, it's separated by weight here on the left side and then region off on the top.

The box one is asia Box two is oh Sienna uh in Australia box three is uh the next box is Eur europe and the box to the right all the way is south America and uh africa.

So we're just gonna look at Oh that that also oh sienna here.

The second box also has the United States.

Australia New Zealand are all in the same zone here.

But from june of 2021 there's an extra 400 yen surcharge.

So the price comes down to $24 to send E.

If you want to send a kilogram it's gonna cost closer to $37.

And right there my finger is not long enough to reach there right there in the center of your screen.

And you can do a screenshot of this and get an idea basically the package that I usually send her between 507 100 g.

So it's gonna cost anywhere between 24 to $30 to send them to the United States.

Which is crazy but we have to find a way to do it to to Canada, you don't have E.

So you have to send it small packet which is actually cheaper.

And the majority of packages are sent that way.

S before I get to Australia, let me talk about E M.

S is slower than small packet to the United States.

I've been told meaning packages that were sent from Osaka according to a friend of mine that at a tracking number, the tracking number was still in Osaka going to the United States for three weeks.

The package didn't even leave Japan and eventually it took five weeks to get this destination at double the price for E.

Not being super speedy at least not from Osaka.

But the package situation in Japan is uh, to north America is is really, really tough right now.

They said that I could send it by sea mail and I started smiling because I almost already know that See email from Asia going into the United States is backed up for like 3-3, weeks.

So basically there's a shortage of toys and all sorts of equipment.

The United States because of the female and the trucking situation in the United States.

So all of the situations circumstances for logistics in the United States is impacting us here in Japan which is I think pretty, pretty sour at the holiday season.

So for Australians, I don't know what to do marty buddy, help me here.

I don't want to send the packages see mail because I know it takes like two months minimum but that might be sooner than than these packages could be delivered if I said if I wait so I might have to send november's packages by female to Australia and then see what happens in december, which really stinks.

Is faster and cheaper than VMS right now for us a in order to send DHL you need to have an account and DHL is not cheaper from Japan unless you have a corporate account and I do not have that.

DHL ups, they're all um, out of the price range of me.

I've already asked unless somebody has a corporate number or in Japan that allowed me to send me my package is through.

It's gonna be really tough and this is especially concerning for the Kickstarter project for those that backed now we, this news just broke.
