We used to ship many antique Japanese swords to the UK via EMS. However, due to the change in the regulations of Parcel Force\/Royal Mail a couple of years ago, EMS can no longer accept any edged tools. However, we do business with a private forwarder that can arrange door-to-door delivery to your address in the UK. Their shipping rate is 7-8 times as much as EMS and we will have to charge <strong>350-550 GBP<\/strong> as an additional shipping cost, depending on delivery addresses.<em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>If you could accept paying this additional cost, please place an order from the website. We will charge the additional shipping fee before the shipment in that case. If you prefer to pay the price of the sword and the additional shipping cost together, please feel free to contact us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">If you have any questions about this shipping method, <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">please feel free to contact us<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Updated (2026.3.10) Shipping an antique Japanese sword to the UK\u00a0 \u00a0For those who live in the UK, thank you very much for being interested in&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-27668","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27668","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=27668"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84330,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27668\/revisions\/84330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
