Orders
How do I place an order on Japan Clothing?
Browse our catalog at japan-clothing.com, choose your items, select sizes and options, then click "Add to Cart". Proceed to checkout to complete your purchase through our secure payment page. A confirmation email will be sent to you instantly.
Can I place an order without creating an account?
Yes, you can check out as a guest. Creating an account, however, allows you to track orders, manage your information, and access exclusive offers.
I haven't received a confirmation email. What should I do?
Please check your spam or junk folder first. If you still haven't received it after 15 minutes, contact us at support@japan-clothing.com with your name and approximate order time. We respond within 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Can I modify or cancel my order?
If your order has not yet been dispatched, we can usually modify or cancel it. Contact us immediately at support@japan-clothing.com or by SMS at +1 332-249-4051 with your order number. Once the parcel has shipped, modifications or cancellations are no longer possible — but you can return the order within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
How do I use a discount code?
Enter your code at checkout in the "Discount code" field. If valid, the discount will apply automatically. Some codes may have restrictions or minimum order amounts indicated in their terms.
Shipping & Delivery
Is shipping really free?
Yes. Shipping is free on all orders, with no minimum purchase. The price you see is the price you pay: shipping, duties and fees are covered, and nothing is added at checkout.
What are the delivery times?
Delivery takes 9 to 12 working days after order confirmation (1 to 3 days of processing, then transit). If we cannot ship your order within the time stated, we let you know and you can cancel for a full refund. If your order has not arrived within 30 calendar days, we refund you in full or send a replacement at no extra charge — your choice.
How can I track my order?
Once your order is dispatched, you receive a tracking link by email. You can also find it in your customer account under "Orders". Tracking information may take 24 to 72 hours to become active after shipment. Items occasionally arrive in separate parcels with different tracking numbers.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide with free shipping and tracking included on every order, regardless of the destination.
Where are products shipped from?
Orders ship from our partner warehouses in China. Duties and import fees are prepaid by us before your order ships.
Will I have to pay customs or import duties?
No. Duties and import fees are prepaid by us before your order ships, so you should never be asked to pay anything on delivery. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee, contact us at support@japan-clothing.com before paying: we will sort it out, and reimburse you in full if you had to pay.
Products
Do the clothes run small or large?
Our pieces follow Japanese sizing standards, which typically run smaller than European or American sizing. We recommend going one size up from your usual size. A detailed size guide with measurements is provided on each product page.
Are product photos accurate?
Our photos show the products you receive. Some product and model images were created or edited with the help of AI. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings and lighting. If you are not satisfied once you receive your item, you can return it within 30 days — return shipping is on us.
Where are your products made?
Our products are designed with Japanese culture in mind and manufactured by partner suppliers, mainly in China. Each product page shows the item's composition.
What is your stock policy?
Stock availability is shown on each product page and updated regularly. In the rare event of a stock issue after you order, we contact you within 24 hours to offer a replacement, a new delivery date or a full refund — your choice.
Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal and Klarna. You can also split your purchase in 4 interest-free installments with Klarna or PayPal, subject to eligibility and approval; late fees may apply and the provider's terms apply.
Is payment secure?
Yes. We use SSL encryption end-to-end and work with PCI-DSS certified payment processors. Your payment details are never stored on our servers — they go directly to the payment provider.
Will I be charged in my local currency?
Prices are displayed in US dollars (USD) by default. Your bank or card issuer applies its own conversion rate at the moment of payment if you pay in another currency. We do not charge any currency conversion fees on our side.
Why was my payment declined?
Payment declines typically come from your card issuer (insufficient funds, daily limit, international transaction blocked, etc.). Try another payment method or contact your bank. If the issue persists, email support@japan-clothing.com and we will help you complete your order.
Returns & Refunds
Can I return an item?
Yes. You have 30 calendar days from the day after delivery to return any item for a full refund. Items must be in original condition, unworn, unwashed, with all original tags and packaging. See our full Return & Refund Policy for details.
Do I have to pay for return shipping?
No. We cover the full cost of return shipping, including any international transport charges. Contact us and we will email you a prepaid return label.
How do I start a return?
Email us at support@japan-clothing.com within 30 days of receiving your order, with your order number and the items you wish to return. We respond within 24 hours, 7 days a week, with personalized return instructions and a prepaid return label.
Where do I send my return?
The return address is provided individually on each prepaid label we issue. Returns are sent to our logistics partner's warehouse, which may be located in France, in the European Union, or in Asia depending on the original origin of the product. Please do not ship returns to our administrative address — only parcels with our prepaid label will be processed.
When will I be refunded?
Once we receive your return (or your proof of shipping), we refund you within 14 calendar days — usually faster — to your original payment method. You can also choose store credit or an exchange instead. Your bank may take a few extra business days to display the credit.
Can I exchange an item for a different size or color?
Yes. Email us at support@japan-clothing.com with your order number and the size or color you want. We send you a prepaid return label and ship the new item free of charge as soon as your return is on its way. If it is out of stock, you choose between store credit and a full refund.
What if my item arrives damaged or defective?
Email us at support@japan-clothing.com as soon as possible after delivery, with photos of the item and the packaging. We will arrange a replacement or a full refund at no cost to you. You typically do not need to return the damaged item.
