Kanda Shipping Guide
Shipping to United StatesAll orders are shipped from UK.
Economy Shipping
Economy shipping to USA is by recorded airmail, except orders under 30 USD which are not recorded, using Royal Mail and USPS. Despite its bad reputation, we have found that USPS is very efficient with international mail, and the majority of parcels are delivered in 5-6 days (6-10 days unrecorded) and we have never had one get lost. If delays do occur, they are usually caused by US customs and Department of Homeland Security, not USPS.
Online tracking is available with recorded airmail. When we ship you will be sent a tracking number, which can be used to track the parcel on Royal Mail Website
When the parcel leaves the UK, tracking can be continued on USPS Website
Parcels may take a while to appear on USPS website as they are not registered until they clear customs.
If you use a PO Box for mail, please use this as shipping address for economy shipments.
The weight limit on economy shipping is 2Kg/4lb but shipments over 1.5Kg/2lb can be cheaper on Express
Low value items may be shipped unrecorded in some circumstances
We will track your parcel 5 days after shipment and report any delays or problems to you, such as customs issues or failed delivery attempts
