Return Policy

Applicability
This policy applies to all orders placed through our store, excluding orders shipped to Taiwan, which are covered under a separate policy.

Return & Refund Policy

We offer an 8-day return policy. Within 8 days of receiving your item, you may apply for a return or refund for eligible items.

Eligibility for Returns
To be eligible for a return:

• The product must be in brand-new, unused condition, with all original packaging intact (e.g., shrink wrap, seals, and outer boxes).
• The product must be returned in the same condition as it was received, well packed, and include all accessories and free gifts (if applicable).

Returns will not be accepted under the following circumstances:

• Reasons such as "change of mind," "purchased by mistake," or "compatibility issues with local power sources."
• Items that are not in their original, unopened packaging.
• Products damaged due to improper use, handling, or failure to follow the product’s specifications.

Non-Returnable Items
Certain products cannot be returned under any circumstances:

• Perishable goods (e.g., food, flowers, or plants).
• Custom or personalized items.
• Hygiene products (e.g., pillows, sleeping bags, shavers, underwear).
• Hazardous materials, batteries, flammable liquids, or gases.

Warranty
The warranty period for electrical products follows the regulations set by the original Japanese manufacturer and is valid only within Japan. To avail of the Japanese warranty, the product must be returned to Japan at the customer's expense, including shipping fees and related maintenance costs.
We will facilitate communication with the Japanese manufacturer but cannot be held responsible for defects arising from:

• The use of step-down transformers or converters.
• Compatibility issues with local power sources.
  Unless specified otherwise, all electrical products are designed for AC100V power sources (excluding battery-powered or travel-friendly items).

Return Process

To initiate a return, please contact us at cs@imyshopjapan.com with your order number, name, and reason for the return.

Key Steps:

1. Approval: We will evaluate your request and provide instructions on how and where to send your package if your return is approved. Items returned without prior approval will not be accepted.
2. Unboxing Video Evidence: For issues such as defects, missing parts, or shipping errors, clear video evidence showing the unopened condition, unboxing process, and item details is required. Requests without video evidence will not be processed.
3. Inspection: Upon receiving the returned product, we will inspect it to ensure it meets the conditions outlined in this policy. The inspection process may take 3–8 business days.

Refunds

Once the return is approved and inspected, we will issue a refund to your original payment method. Refunds typically take up to 10 business days to process.

• Shipping Costs: The shipping fee paid during the initial purchase will not be refunded unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., wrong item or defective product).
• Return Shipping Costs: Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to an error on our part.

If more than 15 business days have passed since your refund was approved, please contact us at cs@imyshopjapan.com.

Important Information

All products are authentic and shipped directly from Japan. Some appliances are designed for Japan’s 100V voltage, while others are compatible with 100–240V for international use.

• Products used in regions with 110V (e.g., certain areas in the USA) are typically compatible without a converter.
• USB-charged or battery-powered products are universally compatible and can be used anywhere.
• Manuals are typically in Japanese unless otherwise specified. For assistance, tools like Google Translate can provide instant translations.

 

Refund Policy (Applicable country: Taiwan)

We have a 7+1 day cooling-off that exceeds the protection provided by Taiwan's Consumer Protection Act. With the exception of specific items, all products on imyshopjapan.com enjoy an 8-daycooling-off period, which means that you can apply for returns or refunds within 8 days from the day you receive the product. Except for custom purchasing items, all products have an 8-day inspection period. According to Article 2 of the reasonable exception criteria for the resolution of communication transactions, the customization payment made at the request of the consumer (i.e., the custom purchasing service on this website) is not subject to the 8-day cooling-off period.

Within 7 days from the day of product delivery, except for exceptions/non-returnable items and custom purchasing items, consumers can apply for returns or refunds, and the shipping costs will be covered by the operating company of imyshopjapan.com. Starting from the 8th day from the day of product delivery, except for exceptions/non-returnable items and custom purchasing items, returns or refunds can still be requested; however, the shipping costs and any applicable handling fees will be borne by the consumer.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and well packed in its original packaging.

If your return is accepted, we’ll send you the instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

You can always contact us for any return question at cs@imyshopjapan.com.

Damages and issues

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right. We highly recommend that you have the whole process filmed while opening the package. 

Exceptions / non-returnable items

Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as pillows, sleeping bags, shavers, underwears). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, battaries, flammable liquids, or gasses. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.

Exchanges

The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Refunds

We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at cs@imyshopjapan.com.

Return and Exchange Process and Considerations

1. Please contact customer service first for return and exchange inquiries and provide your order number and purchaser's name for reference.
2. To protect the interests of both parties, the entire shipping process has been recorded on video. We also request that customers record the unboxing process as soon as they receive their items. In cases of "quantity shortage," we will refer to the "complete video recording" as evidence.
3. Videos should clearly capture the "unopened condition," "unboxing process," and "quantity of items." If you have any doubts about the products, please provide a complete video recording within 8 days from the date of receipt. Requests without unboxing videos will not be accepted.
4. If you need to return or exchange items due to our company's error (e.g., wrong product, damage during shipping, product defects), we will cover the cost of returning the item and refund the full product price or replace it with a new one.
5. Please keep the products clean and intact, including any free gifts, and pack them back into the original packaging box or bag, just as they were when originally shipped, to maintain your rights for returns or exchanges. If the original packaging materials from the shipment have been discarded or damaged, please use appropriate packaging materials to protect the product. Do not send the item back with the original packaging alone. If the product's integrity is compromised or if it gets damaged due to improper packaging, we regret to inform you that we cannot process the return or exchange.　※ Unopened definition: The original product packaging, such as shrink wrap, seals, and outer boxes, remains unopened.
6. Please verify the order number and items that the courier is collecting before dispatching the return. Also, keep the courier's receipt for your records.
7. Hygiene items such as razors, underwear, and products that are intended for personal use cannot be returned or exchanged once opened.
8. Defective items that are not reported within 8 days from the date of receipt will be handled as repair requests and will not be eligible for returns or exchanges.

Return requests must be made within 8 days of receiving the unopened product. If you have already opened the product, returns will only be accepted for product defects.
