I’m not sure if I would send it back by parcel because it might get damaged or lost and I’m going in September so I’m planing to by another cheap bag as a carry on and put all my souvenirs in it, and do you have any recommendations on how to not waste time while shopping in Tokyo and how to get around fast while carrying bags of things?
Ive just been to Japan in the last few months and I would NOT ship my worn to clothing back to my home country from Japan. that's $100AUD just to send them back if this cost in the video is correct. You can buy a second luggage in places for $40-$70AUD in Japan (just gotta look around for good deals and depends on what size you want) then only pay for the extra baggage at airport. And it would STILL be cheaper.
Plus if I didn't have access to a laundromat or washing machine and dryer those clothes would stink!
i also heard that the tariffs for shipping things back to the US make it super expensive or basically impossible. JP Post won’t ship anything that has a material cost of over 100USD. and i have not found any concrete information online whether or not personal goods count towards that 100USD or not. I’ve seen sites that say yes, it counts and sites that say no, personal effects don’t count. So idk 🤷♂️

Is the price based on box size or by weight? Even if you use the vacuum seal it can get very heavy
Yamato is super convenient but they damaged our bags and couldn't do anything about it. Keep that in mind.
I got abused lol. We shipped 2 carry ons and 2 larger checked bags from one hotel to the other and was charged 79 usd.
I dont understand Japanese how to fill up those forms?

Used last year Yamato and had no issues! Instructions were simple and hotel staff took care of it! Will definitely use their services again next time!
