Shipping & Pricing Update for U.S. Customers

Starting September 23 (our pre-order launch date), due to changes in U.S. customs tariffs and logistics costs, we’ve had to adjust both product prices and shipping fees.

• No hidden costs: Duties and handling fees are now included in retail prices.
  
• Shared burden: We’ve chosen to absorb part of the extra costs ourselves, so you don’t need to worry about unexpected charges.
• Faster delivery: All orders are shipped from our U.S. warehouse with tracking, arriving in 2–5 business days.
• Local retailers available: You can also purchase from our U.S. stockists for convenient shipping and local service.
• Temporary shipping adjustment: To streamline delivery, we will pause DHL and UPS shipping services during this period and only use USPS-based methods.

👉 On average, retail prices have increased by about 10–20% depending on the product, while part of the costs are absorbed by us.

❓ Quick Q&A

Q: Why are prices higher than before?
A: New U.S. tariffs and updated shipping rates have increased costs. This year, we’ve had to reflect part of these changes in retail prices.

Q: Do I need to pay extra customs or fees upon delivery?
A: No. All duties and handling fees are already included in the retail prices.

Q: Is this a permanent change?
A: No. This is not a long-term measure. For this year, it’s the fairest way we can continue shipping to the U.S. We will keep reviewing policies and logistics and adjust if conditions improve.

Q: What if there’s an issue with my order?
A: Please contact us anytime—our support team will assist with replacements, refunds, or other solutions as needed.

✨ In the past, orders were shipped by post without tracking and often took 10–14 days to arrive. With the new solution, while the cost is higher, we can finally offer faster delivery and reliable tracking. We hope this change gives you more peace of mind when ordering.

This plan isn’t perfect, but it’s the step we can take this year to keep sharing our planners with you. We’ll continue exploring better ways in the future and listening to your feedback to improve every step.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and for being part of this journey with us—it means more to us than we can say.
