Prepaid Return Label Included (Orders ¥3,000+)

Orders of ¥3,000 or more include a prepaid return shipping label. For orders below ¥3,000, return shipping is the customer's responsibility.

*The prepaid return label is based on the original order total. If your original payment was less than ¥3,000 and later exceeds ¥3,000 due to a rental extension, a prepaid return label will not be provided. These orders are still treated as under ¥3,000 for return shipping purposes.

Returning is simple. Pack the gear in the original packaging, attach the prepaid label, and drop it at the nearest convenience store (orders ¥3,000+). Home pickup is also available at 0120-01-9625. For orders under ¥3,000, return shipping is at your expense.
