Sending packages within japan.....help!!!

[Eleina]

I wanted to know po what is the most economical way of sending a package within japan. Is there such a thing as no weight limit??? Reasonable ba yung size ng box?? Pls. do not confuse this to a moving company kasi hindi naman ako maglilipat ng bahay. gusto ko lang malaman if i can send frozen food, perishable goods, etc. na hindi kasing mahal ng padala ung postage.

Nga pala nagbasa ako dun sa Buy and Sell forum. They dont mention kung pano nila sinesend ung items na nabili sa kanila. Anyway sana you can give me ideas

hi eleina.

ang sending ng packages depende kung saan manggagaling at saan ipapadala.
by size ng box ang calculation at prices varies depende sa regions (i.e. kanto)

kung kuroneko yamato, dry takyuubin upto 2kg (size 60 box) starts at 740円, for cool or frozen takyuubin, add ka ng 200 yens i think. not sure though, nde ako familiar sa cool/frozen shipping charges.

eto po ang sample table para sa kuroneko charges (size 60box)
740円 = Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Yamanashi
740円 = Miyagi, Yamagata, Fukushima, Nagano, Toyama, Ishikawa, Fukui,Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu, and Mie
840円 = Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Kyoto, Shiga, Nara, Wakayama, Osaka, and Hyogo
950円 = Okayama, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Tottori, and Shimane
1050円 = Kagawa, Tokushima, Kochi, and Ehime
1160円 = Hokkaido, Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima


for small items like kasya sa EXPACK envelope, normally a piece of shirt, cd's, dvd's, makeup and docs lang ang pwedeng ilagay. anything basta A4 size at hindi bulky, Post Office's EXPACK is the best way to send 500円 nationwide at pwedeng i-track. EXPACK nde pwedeng i-combine with COD Service. Prepaid ang envelope.

same service like EXPACK, POST PACKET naman ang tawag, another service from Post Office, 400円 nationwide. ikaw ang bahala sa envelope just make sure na packing will conform sa dimension specified by post office. pwedeng i-combine with COD service.

hi Eleina!:)

most of the time sending your stuff at convenient stores will suffice, but since you want to send frozen stuff you have to use a special service. i've been to lots of wet markets in the provinces and sometimes when you buy there you could send your stuff to your family and friends anywhere in Japan. if that's not the way you'd like to do it, then you have to call or apply using the internet to a company providing those services.

one such company that is quite reasonable is Kuroneko Yamato (http://www.kuronekoyamato.c o.jp/index.html) (クロネコヤマト), and the name of their service for sending perishable goods is クール宅急便 (http://www.kuronekoyamato.c o.jp/cool/cool.html) (ku-ru takkyuubin). And the answer to your question is "no", there is no such thing as no weight limit, you could see for yourself the price list, but i guess you will agree that their prices are not that expensive.

to use this service you have to call them, and the conversation will most probably be in Japanese. You could go to this webpage (http://sneko2.kuronekoyamat o.co.jp/) and just click the ドライバー検索 link, enter your home postal number in the blank field and they will give you the number of the service center nearest to, and the package driver responsible at, your area. when you call, be sure to tell them what kind of package you want to send, that is, in this case ku-ru takkyuubin.

or you could do it in the net, but you have to register and get an I.D. first, the website is also in Japanese. here is the web address (http://www.kuronekoyamato.c o.jp/webservice_guide/shuka_off.html). Click the 新規登録 (無料) link to register a new I.D.

For your delight, this is the link (http://www.kuronekoyamato.c o.jp/services/shinamono.html) for all the package delivery services that they are providing.

goodluck and send some to us too.:D

very nice.
very informative.

but i would like to ask if this is also applicable sa magpapadala ng malalaking gamit?
i will be transferring na rin kasi in a few months from one place to another place within japan.
di naman masyadong marami ang gamit ko. mostly damit and other small items
lang... pinakamalaki is yung flat bed or futon.
may free box ba sila na maipo-provide?
ano kaya ang pinaka malaking box na kaya nila?
how long will it take?

or if there is some alternative, i really appreciate it kung ma-ii-share nyo...

If its furniture , then I think hikkoshi.....

call the information center and they will answer all your questions.

hello mga ka-tf, medyo hinukay ko pa etong thread dahil gusto ko rin magtanong kung ano mga options ko sa pagpapadala ng items within japan.

first time ko po kasi sa buy and sell, and luckily, naibenta ko naman. ang concern ko lang po, eh may request un buyer ko. gusto nya, specified time ang dating sa kanya ng item. possible po ba eto sa EXPACK? un po un sa post office di ba?

di pa kasi ako nakapag try kahit minsan. thru EMS lang po, papuntang pinas ang nasubukan ko. baka may makasagot po sa question ko. saka may nakapagbanggit din po sa akin ng sa Lawson. ano po ba un service na un? at baka may idea kau ng rates nila.

salamat po in advance:)

hindi po pwedeng mag specify ng delivery time sa expack. yes, sa post office po ito. pwede lang po ang delivery time specification sa YUPACK. may size limitation po ang expack, A4 size lang po ang laki at hindi gaano makapal. kung mas malaki pa po sa A4 size ang ipapadala, by YUPACK po ang mainam.

salamat po sa reply. ask ko lang po, saan po ang YUPACK? post office din po? may idea po ba kau sa rates ng yupack? salamat po uli.:)

[slovet27]

yup sa post office din po..hindi ko lang alam kung magkno:)

[prettyfly]

salamat po sa reply. ask ko lang po, saan po ang YUPACK? post office din po? may idea po ba kau sa rates ng yupack? salamat po uli.:)

yup sa post office din sya...yupack naman po is by size (regardless of weight)....

based on my experience 600yen ang pinakamura kong binayaran sa yupack, shoe-box size or mas maliit pa doon basta sa pagkakaalam ko 600 ang minimum fee for yupack (not sure)..

but if you are to send a small item...better have it sent thru futsu nalang...mas makakamura pa ka...;) yun nga lang hindi traceable ang futsu at tsaka no time specification..:)

[tfcfan]

yupack domestic version(nationwide japan) po ng ems...
expack 500 po mabilis din,parang yuupack pero halos kaseng laki lang yung envelope ng A4 size na papel pero pwede pong isiksik ganyan po kase sabi nila sa kin at nagawa ko na po...At sinasuggest din nila eto sa mga taong nag-papaauction to send items they sold as long as kasya po yung item..

[chinaeyes13]

[chinaeyes13]
