Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many times can redeliveries be made for free?
A. It's free for most companies, but if you don't pick it up within 7-10 days, it will be returned to the sender. If you are absent for a long period of time, use the counter detention service.
Q. Can I receive it without a seal?
A. You can receive it by signing. There is no problem if you tell them, "I don't have a seal, so please sign." However, personal mail is an exception.
Q. How do I specify the placement?
A. On Amazon, you can select it when ordering, and on Yamato, you can set it using the smartphone app. You can specify the entrance, delivery box, storage room, etc.
Q. How do I receive registered mail or personal mail?
A. The person's signature or seal and identification card (residence card, etc.) are required. Even family members cannot pick up the package on your behalf.
