- In some cases, FedEx Priority may be cheaper than FedEx Pak, but we will automatically show the cheapest shipping method in Pak or Priority.
- CDJapan will place the packed packages in FedEx Pak as much as possible to reduce the shipping costs.
- When using FedEx Pak, products are placed in a standard solid shipping box with cushioning material first and then wrapped in FedEx Pak, so there is no need to worry about damage caused by the use of FedEx Pak.
