I ordered a few promos and both different sellers from japan contacted me saying shipment was banned for atleast two months. Feelsbadman

Well, this was kinda expected. Sucks though.
sweet I will list my CP6 set for 10k now since no japanese seller can sell them to USA…all jokes aside what type of price increase might we see in japanese cards and sealed product.
To USA as well?
Heavily depends how long this lasts for I think. I wouldn’t be surprised in a bit of an increase for sealed modern or promos. But any increase would only last for as long as the ban is in place.
Actually I just realized it might not include shipping to the US. That’s a big factor. If it’s inly countries like Italy and Sweden then I don’t expect any change.

In case people haven’t found it yet, here is the official news article / statement from Japan Post including a PDF document with a list of countries:

You should only refer to these pages to avoid any miscommunication from sellers or other people. And make sure to check their news section before checking the list, since the list can be updated as they already did before.

The main thing keeping me busy these days was scouring for japanese products…
R.I.P
Thank you for this!
Looks like the United States isn’t on the list?

On a serious note, I’ve been waiting on a parcel from the USA since 21 March and somehow it was sent to Japan instead of UK…so this comes as worse news to me “Doh!”

Looks like US isn’t in the list so a lot of the members here are okay, still to be expected delays though.

Thanks for posting this, I was wondering about this myself as I have several Japanese orders listed as “tracking number provided” for over a month now.

I got shipped two packages by EMS from Japan around March 31/April 1st. It took for 1 package, 2 weeks just to be dispatched from Japan to the destination coutnry, and almost 2 weeks for the second one.
So packages are literally sitting there in a place in Japan doing nothing for nearly 2 weeks. Yeah expect huge delays. My packages are arriving today coincidentally.
Damn, they even stopped shipping to the Vatican! What’s the Pope going to do without his Pokémon fix?!

I went to send a package from Australia to the UK today and was told we have indefinitely suspended all parcel/package international post, letters are allowed though…
124 countries, that’s basically 80% of the UPU. So guess USA is included
