My order is stuck with customs.

When travelling across borders, your order may be held up at customs. Sadly, we do not have any control over this, we are all at the mercy of your country’s customs officials. Please be aware that there is always the potential for international orders to get caught up in the system for a longer period. This is not a common occurrence, but it can happen. Once we’ve shipped your package, we cannot do anything once it is in possession of customs officials and your country’s postal service. Please also note that if any supplementary documents are required for inspection by the local customs, the customs will contact you directly. Please pay attention to whether a letter from the customs or related documents has arrived at the designated address. If the parcel fails to pass the inspection due to your failure to actively respond to the contact of customs, you will be solely responsible.

Do you ship with Signature Required?

All orders are shipped with a signature required. However, some local post service might dispatch the package directly into your mailbox without notification due to a smaller size of package.

My order is missing/stolen!

Have you checked your tracking information? Please make sure to check your surrounding area and with your neighbors and people who you live with. If you’re unable to locate your parcel, please contact us so that we can start an investigation with the courier in regards to your missing parcel. Depending on the courier, investigations can take up to 10 business days to conclude. Until a missing package has been returned to us or officially declared lost, we are unable to reship or refund the order. We assess each report on a case by case basis. If the parcel is confirmed delivered with a Proof of Delivery (POD) or if a "Safe Place/Leave with Neighbour/Delivered with Consignees Authority" request is made with our courier directly, we are unable to issue a refund if these parcels are lost/stolen.

Billing & Payment

What methods of payment do you currently accept?

We accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard and American Express. When paying by credit card, your name and billing address must match the address on file with the card issuer. We also accept PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, AliPay, WeChatPay and UnionPay.

When will my payment be processed?

Your card will be charged during checkout once your order has been placed.

What currency do you charge in?

We currently accept payment in New Taiwan Dollars (TWD) and the primary currency used in the country/region you are in when accessing our website. For orders shipped to Taiwan, we offer a duty-free service, and the prices already include taxes, so you can place your order with confidence. The system will provide detailed information about these fees during checkout. Orders processed with Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and PayPal can use the local currency for payment.

If the local/credit card currency is different from the currency used at checkout, your bank will convert the amount using the prevailing exchange rate. IMY does not charge any international financial fees. Please consult your issuing bank for any fees related to international finance.

The currency and pricing of your order are determined by the country/region you are in when you access our website and cannot be changed. Orders processed using Alipay, WeChat Pay, and UnionPay will be charged in New Taiwan Dollars (TWD).

Why am I being charged for currency conversion fee at checkout?

We are a company established and operating in Japan. All products are purchased from official channels in Japan and provided to you at the most reasonable price. The handling fee for cross-border transactions will be charged by the card issuing bank and cash flow system provider, thank you for your understanding.

*Orders located in Taiwan and checked out at New Taiwan Dollars will not be charged currency conversion fee.

Why have you charged me more than the total?

We only charge the amount calculated during checkout and displayed on your invoice. However, if you are using a prepaid card, there may be temporary holds or fees associated with card usage. Please refer to the terms and conditions of the card you are using for further details. If you are not using a prepaid card and believe you have been overcharged, please do contact us and we'll be happy to assist you.

A FEW FAQ'S ON OUR SUBSCRIPTIONS:

Can I choose the day my order will be delivered?

Unfortunately, we can’t control when your order will be delivered as shipping times can vary based on your location. 


I’ve decided I don’t want my subscription anymore. How do I cancel it?

To cancel your subscription just visit the subscription settings tab in your account. If you don’t want to give it up completely and just want a break you can also pause your subscription and reactivate when you’re ready.


I’m going on holiday and don’t want my item next week. Can I skip an order without changing my delivery frequency?

Sure! In your account, you can view all of your upcoming orders. From here you can tell us if you’d like to skip or adjust the quantity for any upcoming delivery.

My transaction was declined but my card was charged?!

If there were multiple attempts to pay for your order, you may see this as a pending charge or authorization hold on your billing statement, but as the transaction was not completed it will not be charged to your card. The bank often sets aside the funds in anticipation of a successful charge. Please be assured that as the transaction was declined no funds have been transferred to imy.

Return & Refund

What is your return policy?

We offer a 7+1-day cooling-off period, which is better than the Consumer Protection Act in Taiwan. With the exception of specific items, all online shopping products have an 8-day cooling-off period. This means that within 8 days from the day of receiving the product, you can apply for a return or refund. Except for customized proxy purchase items, all products have an 8-day cooling-off period. According to the reasonable exceptions specified in Article 2 of the guidelines for the exercise of the right to terminate telecommunications transactions, customized payments made at the consumer's request (i.e., custom proxy purchases on this website) are not subject to an 8-day cooling-offperiod.

Within 7 days from the day of product delivery, except for exceptions or non-returnable items and customized proxy purchase items, consumers can apply for a return or refund, and the shipping costs will be covered by the website's operating company.

On the 8th day from the day of product delivery, except for exceptions or non-returnable items and customized proxy purchase items, you can still apply for a return or refund, but the shipping costs and any possible handling fees will be borne by the consumer.

Can I return products without their original boxes ackaging?

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.

Are shipping fees refundable?

At this time, all shipping fees are non-refundable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

When will I get my refund?

As we receive multiple deliveries daily, we are unable to send you a confirmation email upon receipt. However, please allow up to 12 business days after the parcel has been delivered for us to inspect and approve your return. Once approved the refund will be issued. Once we have issued your refund, we'll send you an updated copy of your receipt that will show the refunded items.

Why is my refund less than the amount paid?

Refunds are issued in the same currency as the order was paid. However, please note that the amount you get back reflects the exchange rate on the day we issue the refund. Exchange rates change every day so the amount you get back may differ from what was paid. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Can you refund on to another card?

Your refund will only be issued to the same card used on your order. When a card is lost, stolen, or cancelled we can still refund that card. We cannot refund your order onto a different card. If we issue the refund and the payment is declined, we will then issue your refund via PayPal, but the transaction must be declined first.
