We have revised our shipping charge tables for all shipping methods to reduce customer costs.
Reductions have been designed to help everyone save costs, but we ensured that it particularly helps customers who have been paying the most expensive shipping charges corresponding to their large orders.
Please Note:
Since post office charges different postage for different regions, rates of
reduction are slightly different for different regions.
We implemented this service upgrade on April 6, 2009 at 13:00pm (GMT+9:00).
The new shipping charges apply only to orders placed after this date. It won't be possible for us to update the shipping charges for orders placed earlier.
