More about shipping to Japan

For those living in Japan, the assumption is often that shipping from the United States is too complex or expensive. However, by utilizing a freight forwarder, you can access the same inventory as American shoppers, often at the original retail price before the secondary market markups kick in.

Why Japanese collectors are overpaying locally

It is a common myth that buying locally in Japan is always cheaper. In reality, Japanese distributors often face delayed release dates and limited allocations compared to their US counterparts. This scarcity leads to a price surge. On Japanese secondary markets, the Sky Dragon often fetches prices exceeding 25,000 Yen. In contrast, US retail prices remain around 60 to 70 USD (approx. 9,000 to 10,500 Yen).

Even after factoring in international shipping, the total cost of importing from the USA is frequently much lower than buying from a local reseller. Check our guide on Read more: Why I recommend sourcing the Jellycat Sky Dragon from US retailers for Japan delivery in 2026 for a deeper look at the price comparison.

Shipping Estimates for your new plush friend

When planning your purchase, it is essential to calculate the logistics costs. Use our shipping calculator to get a precise quote, but here are the typical estimates for a Jellycat Sky Dragon:

• Box Weight: Approx. 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) including protective packaging.
• Box Dimensions: Generally fits in a medium-sized box (approx. 14 x 8 x 6 inches).
• Volumetric Warning: Plush toys are lightweight but can be bulky. Shipping carriers often charge based on the space the box occupies rather than its actual weight. Always check the volumetric weight to avoid surprises.
• Battery Check: This item is a standard plush toy and does not contain lithium batteries, making it eligible for all standard air shipping methods without restrictions.

Bypassing US store blocks with BuyForMe

A major hurdle for shoppers in Japan is the "Credit Card Wall." Many premium US retailers are notorious for blocking international credit cards or automatically cancelling orders that use a known freight forwarder address. This is where proxy shopping becomes your best friend.

The comGateway "BuyForMe" (assisted purchase) service solves this by having our US-based team purchase the item on your behalf using a domestic US payment method. This effectively guarantees that your order isn't flagged or cancelled by strict merchant systems. It is the safest way to ensure your Sky Dragon actually makes it to the warehouse.

Import tax and Japan customs in 2026

When importing goods into Japan, you must be aware of import tax regulations. For personal imports, shipments with a total value (including 60% of the item price plus shipping) under 16,666 Yen are typically exempt from consumption tax and customs duties.

Since a single Jellycat Sky Dragon usually falls below this threshold, you can often enjoy your purchase without additional fees. However, if you are ordering multiple items or adding other US goods to your shipment, always monitor the total value to manage potential costs at the border.

The 2026 strategy for collectors

Securing a Jellycat Sky Dragon is about timing and using a reliable international shipping service. By shopping at US retailers, you bypass the inflated prices of the Asian secondary market. Remember to combine your orders if you are buying multiple items to save on the base shipping rate. With the right tools, you can bring this mythical beast home without the mythical price tag.
