Overseas Shopping SHIRO FAQ & Member Unboxing
Q1: Does SHIRO Japan official website ship directly to Singapore?
A: Currently, the SHIRO Japan official website does not support direct shipping to overseas addresses, including Singapore. You need to pre-register with a Japan parcel forwarding company (like Buy&Ship). During checkout, simply input the Japan warehouse address provided by the forwarding company, and they will receive your parcel and forward it to Singapore for you.
Q2: Does SHIRO Japan accept Singaporean credit cards?
A: Yes! Most Visa, Mastercard, or American Express (AMEX) credit cards issued in Singapore can be used for checkout smoothly. We recommend using a credit card with low or waived foreign transaction fees to save even more on exchange rates.
Q3: Is there free shipping for online orders within Japan?
A: Yes. According to SHIRO Japan’s policy, single orders over 11,000 JPY (tax included) qualify for free domestic shipping within Japan (otherwise, a standard shipping fee of about 500 JPY applies). It’s a great idea to combine orders with friends to easily reach the free shipping threshold!
