EMS has the limitation regarding to the size of a package. Therefore, while we can send Wakizashi or Tanto swords via EMS, we might have to use <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.20cube.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20Cube <\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">if you like to order a long Katana. 20 Cube offer a door-to-door shipping service from Japan to your address in Australia. The delivery time will be approximately 7-14 days, including the customs clearance process. 20Cube offers shipping service nationwide in Australia with the help of TNT, their business partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2, Additional Shipping Charge<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0We won&#8217;t charge any ad<\/span>ditional shipping fee if you order either Tanto or Wakizashi swords. We can ship some of the Katana swords via EMS. If you like to know the Katana you are interested can be shipped by EMS, please feel free to <a title=\"Contact us\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\">contact us<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0If we have to use 2<\/span>0Cube for delivery, the shipping cost is much more pricey than that of EMS or FedEx. Therefore, we will have to ask you to pay an additional shipping fee. The fee depends on where you live, but it will be approximately <strong>600-700 AUD<\/strong>. If you place an order online first, we will charge you this fee via Stripe or PayPal later. If you like to pay for this additional fee and the sword you will purchase altogether, please don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us. We will issue an invoice that includes both prices to complete the transaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0If you like to make sure that Free Sh<\/span>ipping is applied to the Japanese sword you would like to purchase, or have any questions about shipping to Australia, please feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\">contact us<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipping an authentic Japanese sword to Australia For those who live in Australia, thank you very much for being interested in owning an authentic Japanese&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21938","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21938"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30766,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21938\/revisions\/30766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
