Shipping Information

We ship out orders every Friday and use Japan Post. Shipping fees are automatically calculated by two factors: location and weight. One A5-size book approximately weighs 300g (starts from $10) and one A4-size book approximately weighs 500g (starts from $12).

For Japan orders, we use blue letter packs or Click Post, depending on availability.

For international orders, we have two options:

  1. Standard: regular Printed Matter mail (via air)

    • Depending on the country, delivery time takes between 7 to 28 days (sometimes longer).

    • Cheaper option; orders exceeding 5kg will have free shipping.

    • Not all countries have tracking details for this option.

  2. Express: EMS (via air)

    • Depending on the country, delivery time takes between 2 to 6 days.

    • More expensive, but safest; orders exceeding 5kg will have 50% off the shipping.

    • All orders will have tracking details for this option.

Because ephemere. is a small entity, all sales are final and we do not accept returns or exchanges. Please review your purchase very carefully before securing a payment.

Additionally, we do not take any responsibility for any customs charges, additional fees, lost packages, etc. Thank you for your understanding.

If you have concerns or questions about shipping, let us know.
