Because mail transportation to various countries such as Andorra, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, Germany, Finland, France, Belgium, Isle of Man, and Monaco has been disrupted due to the unstable situation in Ukraine, Japan Post has made changes to mail service.

We condemn the actions taken against Ukraine its sovereignty and its people. We also feel sorry for ordinary Russians who suffer under the sanctions and hope there will be a resolution in this conflict, that will durable and lasting.

Note:
The cost of a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. If your package is large in size and light in weight, DHL may calculate the delivery price using the volumetric weight (dimensional weight) rather than simply the weight. Volumetric weight is rounded to the next full pound or kilogram.
Here is how DHL is calculating volumetric weight: length*width*height/5000
Customs Duties and Taxes
Customs Duties and Taxes vary from country to country. Your shipment may be checked and possibly even opened by the authorities. Unfortunately, neither we at TOBI-EN nor our partners can prevent this. Also, you may have to pay customs fees depending on your country. In case you need to pay any customs duty, you will be required to pay the duty when you receive your order. The importer is responsible for paying the required taxes as well as any other costs that may be incurred on the imported goods. At TOBI-EN, we do not charge you any additional taxes on your order. For more detailed information on taxes and other costs in your country, please contact the tax or customs authority in your country. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any violations of the law in relation to the imported goods on your part.
You may decide to not pay the import duties and the taxes, but we will not refund you any losses due to the damage caused by the destruction of the product.
Damaged goods or shipment
At TOBI-EN, we always try to pack your ordered items as well as possible. We also aim to reduce packaging to a minimum to save shipping costs. After the package has been sent, the responsibility rests with the shipping carrier. In the unlikely event of damage to any of your ordered goods or the delivery in general, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to resolve the situation. Please provide evidence of the damage to the items. If you receive a damaged or defective item, please keep the item and all packaging for the carrier to review.
Returns & Refunds
At TOBI-EN we can accept returns, exchange damaged goods, and issue refunds under the following conditions. But remember that in general, all sales are final. You can only cancel the purchase if the product does not match the description or is defective. Therefore, please contact us within 5 days of receiving the delivery at info@tobi-en.com.
We cannot cover the postage costs for the items you returned to us. The risk remains on the customer side until we receive the products back to our specified address.
Deduction in refund might be made by us to reimburse any loss of value from the purchased product, in case if the loss comes from unnecessary manipulation of the product. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.
We will not refund any products that have been altered, opened, partially, or fully consumed. It is your responsibility to ensure that the products are returned in acceptable packaging. The refund will be deducted if there is damage or the packaging is unsuitable.
Once your order has been shipped, the ownership rights to the products remain with the purchaser. If the parcel does not reach its destination because the purchaser entered the delivery address incorrectly, we will not be responsible. Therefore, enter the delivery address carefully and correctly.
