Why hasn’t my order arrived yet?
Our boxes ship directly from Japan and international shipping can be unpredictable, so we can’t guarantee that your box will arrive by a certain date. It typically takes 1-3 weeks to arrive from the ship date but can take up to 4 weeks depending on local customs or postal service delays.
Shipments to the US are fulfilled from Japan directly, which usually arrives in 1-2 weeks once shipped. (It's normal to not see any updates to your tracking status the first few business days once shipped).
Please feel free to reach out to us at info@okashicompany.com via our Contact Page if your order has still not arrived after 4 weeks from your ship date and we’d be happy to help with a resolution!

Can I customize my box for dietary restrictions and food allergies?
Due to limited inventory, we currently do not offer the option to customize boxes for certain dietary restrictions or food allergies. We also cannot guarantee the presence or lack of certain allergens in the snack items so please consume the snacks at your own risk with careful attention to any personal health concerns.
Help! I think my snacks are expired!
First of all - don't panic! Japan writes their snacks in the YEAR/MONTH/DATE format. We would never sell you expired snacks. If you're worried that your snack has expired, send us a clear photo of the snack along with the expiration date info@okashicompany.com via Contact Page, we can look into it.

Will customs delay my package arriving?
Before ordering, we recommend you double-check any customs regulations that can affect your shipment and cause delays or problems.
When items are shipped internationally, every shipment must go through customs. This may cause a slight delay in the arrival of your shipment. After customs clear your package, it will be set to be delivered to your local courier service!
Please note that shipments to the EU and more may require additional information from customs such as your Passport No. or Tax ID, and may require a duty payment before the parcel is cleared by customs.

Tracking
I checked my tracking number. Why hasn't my package moved?
While we wish we could speed up how fast you get your package, we, unfortunately, cannot control any delays that might happen while your Snack box is in transit!
All international shipments are subject to customs inspection. Once your package arrives in the destination country, customs will inspect the package. We do not have any control over when they will release the package. Keep an eye on your tracking information to watch its journey and see when it's released!

My package was marked as delivered, but it's not here!
It is very common for there to be a lag in time from when the parcel is marked as "delivered" and when it actually arrives. Sometimes, they will mark an item as delivered and it won't arrive until 3-4 days later in the worst case - 1 week later.
If your package does not arrive within 5 business days of being marked as delivered, we ask that you contact your local post office first and then contact us at info@okashicompany.com via Contact page so we can proceed with the next steps!

What does "retention" mean on my tracking status?
If your tracking has "Retention" status under the shipping tracking record column, it is either being held at customs for inspection or the package was delivered and no one was there to receive it.
You (or the recipient) should have received a slip from the postal carrier with instructions on how to retrieve the package. If you did not receive a slip, there is a chance the package is still at customs for inspection and you may need to wait a few days for it to clear customs.
We also recommend you contact your local post office as soon as possible so you can resolve the issue.
Please note that Okashi Company cannot control how long customs may detain or when they release a package.

f your tracking says: "Item arrival at the collection point for pick-up" that means your parcel is ready for pickup at the local post office branch. We recommend that you contact your local post office immediately or your item will be shipped back to us!
Please contact your local post office to get more information about the delivery.
