Important Notification About Box Sizes
In 2016 postal services enforce restrictions on how large packages are allowed be for Air Mail Small Packet and SAL, as a part of their efforts to control costs that affect postage. On the other hand, manufacturers of many products such as anime action figures do not necessarily take this into account. Because of this, some products prove to exceed size restrictions when they become available for shipment, because there is no packaging box in existence that would fit them perfectly. So, we investigated a large number of different products and their sizes statistically. Then we custom ordered packages boxes so that more products fit in them perfectly so that size restrictions are not exceeded as frequently as it used to be.
Important Notification About Dimensional Weight
Starting from January 23, 2012, dimensional weight applies when shipping charge is determined for orders including external bonus posters. It applies only to orders only when a poster is included. It no longer applies once posters are no longer available, and it definitely won't affect regular orders that do not include any poster to begin with.
When dimensional weight is applied, the shipping charge increases approximately in the range of 200yen and 300yen in most cases, but it varies widely depending on the shipping method, the country where the order is sent, as well as on how many items are included in the order.
CDJapan has always been happy to send first press bonus posters without charging customers anything extra for them, and we would like to continue to do so. However, as posters are included with an increasingly large number of new releases, we needed to make this modification to prevent customer costs in general to rise.
Normally, we use compact packaging materials when sending regular sized CDs and DVDs as pictured below.

However, to send a first press bonus poster together with the product, we must use a large box as pictured below.

Both the post office and FedEx determine their postage based on the total weight of the package. So, sending a poster affects the postage because large box weighs significantly more compared to regular packaging materials.
Additionally, FedEx applies dimensional weight for sending large packages, which adds significant amount of extra weight when they determine the shipping charge. So, dimensional weight results in greater amount increase with FedEx in most cases.
