How to Protect CDs and Bonuses During Shipping


Will my CD or bonus item get crushed or bent?

We understand this concern. CDs are slim, and bonuses like stickers or cards can easily be bent during shipping. That's why CDJapan uses:

  • Custom-sized boxes to minimize movement
  • Protective padding and secure placement to avoid shaking

How to Ship Fragile Vinyl Records Safely


Vinyl corners bend so easily... can it survive shipping overseas?

Absolutely. CDJapan developed a custom vinyl shipping box specifically to protect corners and prevent warping.
LP sleeve cases are often prone to damage, particularly at the corners.
To address this issue, we have developed CDJapan's original packaging box designed specifically for LPs.

We use thicker cardboard and adjust the box size to ensure better protection for your LPs.
This LP box has two layers of cardboard, providing extra strength to endure the long journey from Japan to your destination.
With this specially designed packaging, you can trust that your LPs will arrive in mint condition, allowing you to fully enjoy your music collection.

How to Avoid Wrinkles and Damage to Posters


Posters I ordered elsewhere arrived wrinkled or folded...

Not at CDJapan. We never fold posters. Instead, we:

  • Gently roll them into a sturdy, thick tube
  • Ship them separately to avoid pressure from other goods

We send posters in a protective tube without folding it

CDJapan sends the poster without folding it. The order is sent in a protective tube to prevent damage. *Except over 52cm wide poster (over B2 size).





Poster packing: behind the scenes

The popular poster bonus is carefully rolled and packed in a special box together with the CD/DVD -- without any folding. No extra charge!

How to Prevent Damage to Anime Figures


Figures have fragile parts. I’m afraid they’ll break during shipping.

To protect your figures, we:

  • Place the original figure box inside a larger box
  • Add cushioning on all sides to prevent impact
