Yes, always. You will pay the amount indicated on the site during checkout.
Two reasons can explain the variations in sales prices:
We regularly offer discounts and coupons valid for the entire store or specific products. It's up to you to find them!
Besides, our customer support cannot offer discounts on a case-by-case basis.
We don't do it. We cannot manage this type of request upon request for technical reasons. Indeed, it would take us a lot of time to make pictures for each product listed on the site.
However, we can guarantee that the items listed on Nipponrama are all in excellent condition (new or mint) unless otherwise indicated in the title or description of a used product.
We guarantee the proper functioning and appearance of our products in three stages:

Not at the moment. We do not yet accept payments in installments. We are currently working on a solution that would allow us to offer this service.

Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified as a PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most demanding level of certification available in the payment industry. To achieve this, Stripe uses the best security tools and practices.

Immediately, for all payment methods listed above.
We ship almost anywhere in the world. We can ship to over 200 countries and territories worldwide. Therefore, there are only very rare cases in which Nipponrama cannot ship to a specific address.
How to verify in 30 seconds that we can deliver to your address:
Our international reach is unprecedented! With free shipping in over 150 countries and territories around the world, customers from almost any nation can shop with us. Although some countries may require you to add products to your cart first before confirming delivery fees, our handy map shows everywhere all the orders are eligible for complimentary transport – all marked out in green!
If your country is in red, that doesn't mean you cannot get free shipping. The foolproof way to find out the amount of the delivery charges is very simple:
Sometimes products in packages are damaged when they arrive at your home. They have literally traveled thousands of miles.
Some of the shipping methods we offer on Nipponrama have insurance included.
Here's how to get your money back for damaged products:
Unfortunately, this process can take up to three months.
It is very rare that a package does not reach its recipient. We advise you to contact us a few days after the end of the deadlines indicated in this FAQ or in a possible update e-mail that we would have sent you.
For packages with a tracking number, we will request an investigation from the delivery company. This type of procedure usually takes between four and six weeks. Depending on the outcome of this investigation and the contents of the original package, we will be able to refund you or resend the same order at no additional cost.
For packages without a tracking number, we, unfortunately, cannot offer refunds or reshipment. Therefore, we recommend using shipping methods with a tracking number. If you still wish to purchase the products and they are still available on Nipponrama, we invite you to place a new order using a shipping method with tracking.
Customs duties are a tax levied by the authorities of a country on goods that are imported into its territory. These tariffs vary from country to country.
Nipponrama is not responsible for these additional costs. The entirety of these amounts is due to the authorities of the country to which you have your package delivered.
It depends on your country, the content of the package, and the order value. Customs fees are not included in the shipping costs, as they are charged to the person importing the product into their country. As an exporter, Nipponrama does not have to charge you for these potential fees. Furthermore, we cannot anticipate the amount of these potential costs.
Indeed, we do not know and cannot be constantly up-to-date on the application and evolution of customs taxes for all the countries to which we ship products. That is why we advise you to get information directly on the websites of the customs services of your country.
In any case, most of the customs services in the world are not able to check all the packages that arrive on their territory. This means that there is a good chance that your package will arrive at your home without being checked by customs. If this happens to you, you can declare the contents and value of your package to the relevant customs authorities yourself in order to comply with the laws of your country.
We cannot. Your invoice will be inside your package. It is automatically printed by our computer system.
We cannot. The package contents we send are considered to be merchandise. We cannot mark your package as a "gift".
In the event that the customs services ask you to pay a customs tax and you refuse to pay this additional amount, your package will be returned to us or destroyed.
If your package is destroyed, we will not be able to issue a refund.
If the package is returned to us, we can negotiate on a case-by-case basis. However, shipping costs and products with expiration dates cannot be refunded under any circumstances.
Nipponrama is a company based in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward, more precisely in the Karasuyama District. Our website exists since 2015. We were originally a tourist and cultural information website about Japan run by foreigners living in this country.
Since the beginning of 2021, we have been selling Japanese products on an e-commerce platform, because with the pandemic of COVID-19, it has become very difficult for the whole world to appreciate Japanese culture. In a way, we hope that the products we sell on this site will allow you to travel to Japan.
Contact us as soon as possible by email.
For technical reasons, we can only cancel the order a few minutes after you have placed it.
We usually respond within 24 hours. However, sometimes we have more requests to process, which may cause slight delays in our responses. In any case, we invite you to send us a message if you have not received a response from us after 72 hours.
As stated in Japanese law, new electronic products and accessories have a one-year manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only covers defects.
Please contact our customer service if you have a problem with your product.
