Every Highplace order ships directly from Osaka, Japan via Japan Post EMS (Express Mail Service) — fully tracked, with signature on delivery — for a flat USD 9.90 worldwide, regardless of weight or destination.
Typical timeline for in-stock items. Delivery estimates count from dispatch, not from order date.
Shipping Fee
A flat shipping rate of USD 9.90 applies to every order, worldwide, regardless of weight or destination. The shipping fee is shown at checkout before payment. We do not offer free shipping — instead, we keep one honest flat rate for everyone.
Order Preparation
In-stock orders are carefully packed and prepared for shipment within 3–5 business days of order confirmation. We dispatch Monday through Friday (Japan time). If an item is temporarily unavailable, preparation may take longer and we will contact you by email with an update.
Delivery Time
Once dispatched, EMS delivers to most destinations within 5–7 days. Actual delivery time depends on your country's postal network and, most significantly, customs processing (see below).
Once your parcel enters the destination country, customs inspection and clearance times are determined solely by that country's authorities and are beyond our control. Delays caused by customs, carriers, weather, or other events outside our control are not grounds for cancellation or compensation.
Pre-order Shipping
Pre-order items ship after the manufacturer releases them. Estimated release dates shown on the product page are set by the manufacturer and may change. Pre-orders are dispatched as soon as stock arrives at our facility, following the same preparation and delivery timeline above.
Tracking Your Parcel
Once dispatched, your EMS tracking number is sent to your email automatically. You can also check your delivery status anytime on our Track Your Order page — you'll find the link in the footer of every page on our site.
Secure Packaging
Every order is packed in-house with protective materials to help ensure figures and collectibles arrive safely. Please note that minor outer-box wear during international transit is normal and is not considered a defect — see our Return & Refund Policy for details.
Customs, Duties & Taxes
All orders ship on a DDU (Delivered Duties Unpaid) basis. Shipping fees do not include customs duties, VAT, taxes, or carrier handling fees. These charges are the sole responsibility of the recipient and are determined by the laws of the destination country — we have no control over the amounts. Refusing delivery or abandoning a package due to customs charges is not treated as an approved return; see our Return & Refund Policy for how such cases are handled.
Please check with your local customs office before placing an order if you are unsure about the charges that may apply.
