COVID-19 Shipping Delays:

Please note that the following information will be updated with new information and developments as they occur.

[UPDATED May 10th, 2020]

We hope that this notice finds all BAND-MAID supporters, fans, friends and family safe & healthy during this difficult time.

BAND-MAID INTERNATIONAL WEB SHOP is open for business and accepting orders. However, The COVID-19 (Corona Virus) Pandemic has caused numerous countries and territories to temporarily suspend acceptance of inbound parcels. In addition, because of the global reduction of flights, considerable delivery delays are expected for inbound mail items to other countries/territories. As a result, global shipping has being delayed significantly. Currently the shipment delivery situation differs for each country. Please check the following shipping information prior to placing your order.

If shipping to your country is temporarily suspended or delayed and you want to order, or if you have already placed an order/pre-order, we'd like you to know that your order will be kept safely with BAND-MAID International Web Shop. We are happy to keep all products and orders for you for an unlimited time and ship the order immediately once shipping transportation service has resumed.

About ORDERS & PRE-ORDERS:

Many pre-orders have been placed prior to the suspension of global shipping due to COVID-19. During this difficult time, we will be happy to hold all pre-orders and newly placed orders destined for countries with temporary shipping suspensions for you until shipping service begins again.

Due to the COVID-19 related shipping delays, we are experiencing difficulties sending packages and are also receiving many packages back to our office. In these cases, we will begin contacting you to suggest an alternative shipping method, once an alternative method is secured. However, please note that packages are expected to take time to return, and also may not be showing accurate tracking information.

Kindly note that have secured an alternate shipping agreement with DHL Express Japan which we will use in case Japan Post is not shipping to your country. If and when an alternate shipping method is needed we will contact you regarding changing/upgrading your shipping method and any associated costs.



Thank you very much for your understanding and support during this time. It is our aim to get your orders shipped as soon as safely possible. We thank you for your patience, communication and support of BAND-MAID and the BAND-MAID INTERNATIONAL WEB SHOP during this time. Please stay safe.
