How It Works — From a Japanese Warehouse to Your Door
How It Works: From a Japanese Warehouse to Your Door
Buying from HD Toys Store Japan is as simple as any online store — no proxy account, no bidding, no forwarding address. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you order to the moment your item lands on your shelf.
-
Browse authentic, Japan-sourced items
Every item on hdtoysjapan.com is sourced inside Japan — from collector networks, estate sales and domestic auctions — never imported from overseas resellers. Prices are shown in your own currency.
-
Order direct — no proxy account, no bidding
Add to cart and check out like any online store. Pay securely by credit card, Shop Pay, Apple Pay or Google Pay. There is no separate proxy sign-up, no per-item purchasing commission and no auction sniping to manage.
-
We retrieve & hand-inspect your item in Japan
Each item is checked under direct lighting for authenticity markers (manufacturer stamps, sculpt and packaging print quality) and its condition is confirmed against the listing. See our authenticity guide for the exact checks we run.
-
Protective packing for international transit
Items are packed for a long journey — corner protection, cushioning and a sturdy outer box — so figures, boxes and cards arrive in the condition described.
-
Tracked shipping from Tokyo, worldwide
We dispatch from Tokyo within 1–10 business days (most within 3–5) via a fully tracked carrier — Japan Post / EMS, FedEx, DHL or UPS — with base insurance included on Japan Post shipments. You get a tracking number for the whole journey.
-
Customs handled by the carrier; you receive
Your carrier clears customs in the destination country. Import duties or taxes, where they apply, are set and collected by your country — see the customs note in our Help Center. Then your Japan find lands on your shelf.
