FAQs

Ordering

Orders within the United States ship from our US warehouse, so no import duties apply. Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.

For orders outside the United States, import duties and taxes are calculated and paid at checkout, so you won't be asked to pay additional duties or taxes upon delivery.

Production time varies greatly depending on the item and the artisan’s workload, so they cannot provide us with a specific date. Some products restock within a few weeks, while others may take 2–3 months. 

Many of our products come from niche workshops and small-scale kilns with select teams of highly skilled artisans. With expertise honed over decades, these artists put the utmost care into their work so that every detail meets the highest standards. 

To maintain superior quality, their work cannot be rushed. We appreciate your understanding of their process and value of their craftsmanship.

To ensure you don't miss out, we recommend preordering your desired items. We do not offer a wait list.

If your order includes both in-stock and preordered items, your entire order will ship once the preordered items arrive at the warehouse. 

Please contact us at support@jocgoods.pro if you have any questions or need your in-stock products sooner (additional shipping charges may apply).

We accept a variety of payments including Apple Pay, Google Pay, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Shop Pay.

Please note that JOC Goods is a Japan-based company. If your credit card company charges a foreign transaction fee for international purchases, we are unable to refund this fee. However, many credit cards do not charge foreign transaction fees, so you may want to check for available options.

We also accept JOC Goods gift card payments except for preorder items.

You can cancel an item or your order before it’s packed and processed for shipment.

You will receive email updates from order confirmation to delivery, so you're aware of the current status of your order.
