Can I order a Yukata from this website? 2013/7/20 07:28
Hello, I wanted to know if I can purchase a Yukata at this website: http://www.yukatayasan.com/

However, I can not fully translate the page through google properly. I specifically want to order from this website.

Do they do overseas shipping and is it necessary to add a japanese address? http://www.yukatayasan.com/shopping_guide/payment.html

-Thank you I really appreciate it if anyone can help me.

Even though at the bottom of the top page (information about payment and shipping, etc.), they say they do not ship outside Japan, they say that they ship via EMS (Express Mail Service), with several conditions (Clause 4 under Article 17 of the second page you provided a link to)

"4. Product delivery is in principle limited to an address in Japan, but delivery to an address outside Japan is accepted if you fulfill all the conditions.
1) Pay all of shipping charges (including fees) we specify
2) Agree that no return/cooling off (cancellation) is accepted.
3) Agree to pay import duties, etc. upon arrival at the recipient's country
4) Agree to allow us to select the transport company
5) For overseas customers, cash-on-delivery or bank remittance cannot be used.
6) Are able to understand and agree to this set of terms and conditions written in Japanese.
7) Accept that no delivery date/time can be specified."



EMS can be quick (7 days or so, they say) but can be expensive.
- The procedure seem to be that in your shopping cart you select "ship to a separate address overseas", write in your address in alphabets,
- You need to pay for the merchandise first, then they will weigh the parcel, send you a URL for paying the shipping charges (credit card)
- Once you pay the shipping charges, they will prepare to ship (allow 7 days until dispatch
- THey will send you the tracking number once dispatched.

They don't mention what the fees would be, so they would expect you to understand, and inquire if needed, all in Japanese. Also the way they write assumes that the buyer is in Japan, and want to have the item sent as a gift overseas, instead of someone buying directly from overseas.

Uwajimaya is a Japanese store in the states of Washington and Oregon
http://www.uwajimaya.com/locations.html

We usually go to the store in Seattle.
Seattle Uwajimaya,
600 5th Avenue South
Seattle, WA 98104
Phone: (206) 624-6248

They do sell Yukatas and it would be a lot easier for you to order stuff from them.

Are you sure there are no Japanese stores or stores selling Japanese goods in California?

A US internet shop: http://www.shimazakura.com/

There is also a store in Japan that send Yukatas and other stuff to the Usa and has pages in English
