Shipping policy

Thank you for shopping at Tokopie. This page explains how we pack and ship your order, how long delivery usually takes, and what to expect with customs.

In short

  • Every order ships from our shop in Pekanbaru, Indonesia, with Pos Indonesia, and every parcel is tracked.
  • We usually pack and ship your order within 1–2 business days.
  • Shipping is charged by weight and destination. Checkout shows the exact cost before you pay.
  • Import duties, taxes and carrier fees are not included. They are paid by the recipient to the delivering carrier (see "Customs, duties and taxes" below).

Where we ship from

Most of our stationery is bought in Japan and brought to our shop in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Your order is packed and shipped from Pekanbaru.

Our website ships to addresses outside Indonesia. We don't ship to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. If checkout shows no shipping option for your address, please email us.

Packing time

We usually pack your order and hand it to Pos Indonesia within 1–2 business days (Monday to Friday, not on Indonesian public holidays). At busy times this can take a little longer. If your order will be delayed by more than a few days, we'll email you.

How we ship

All orders ship with Pos Indonesia, Indonesia's national post. At checkout you choose from the services available for your address:

  • Pos Ekspor: a tracked international service to most countries. It is the only service to the United States.
  • ePacket LX Prime: a cheaper tracked service for light parcels, offered for some countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom.

After your parcel leaves Indonesia, Pos Indonesia hands it to a delivery partner in your country, such as your national post or a courier. In the United States, parcels are currently delivered by DHL Express.

How long delivery usually takes

These are typical times after we ship, based on our own deliveries over the past year:

  • United States: usually 5–8 days
  • Canada: usually 1–3 weeks
  • United Kingdom: usually 1–2 weeks
  • Australia: usually 1–2 weeks
  • Other countries: times vary by country and service; your tracking shows the latest progress

About 1 in 5 parcels takes longer than this, especially in December or when customs holds a parcel. Delivery times are not guaranteed, and carriers' times can vary.

Tracking

When your order ships, we email you a Pos Indonesia tracking number (it looks like CC…ID, LP…ID or LX…ID). It can take a day or two before the first update shows. You can follow your parcel on our Order Tracking page.

In the United States, DHL Express gives your parcel its own 10-digit waybill number and uses that number when it contacts you (see "Customs, duties and taxes" below).

Shipping cost

Shipping is charged by the weight of your order and where it is going. Add your items to the cart and go to checkout to see the exact shipping cost for your address. You aren't charged until you confirm payment.

Pre-order and back-order items

Pre-order and back-order items take longer than in-stock items, because they ship only once they arrive. If one is delayed, we'll email you.

For pre-order items, the shipping charge at checkout is an estimate. If an item is much larger or heavier than expected when it reaches us, we'll ask you to top up the shipping charge.

Customs, duties and taxes

Our prices and shipping charges don't include import duties, taxes or carrier fees. These are set by your country and the delivering carrier, not by Tokopie, and are paid by the recipient to the delivering carrier, usually before delivery.

We declare the full value shown on your invoice, as our payment provider's rules require. We can't declare a lower value.

If your country has special import rules for any item, please tell us before we ship (email us or reply to your order confirmation). We aren't responsible for parcels refused because of local rules we weren't told about.

Unpaid duties, returned parcels and re-importation fees

  • If the import duties, taxes or clearance fees in your country aren't paid, the carrier returns the parcel to us in Indonesia, or destroys it.
  • When a parcel comes back, Indonesian Customs (Bea Cukai) treats it as a new import and charges import duty and VAT on it, and the carrier adds its own charges. These re-importation fees are billed to Tokopie and charged to you.
  • They can be large. In one case, the re-importation duty and VAT on a single returned parcel came to about US$47.
  • For a returned parcel, any refund is the price of the items minus the original shipping charge, the return shipping, and the re-importation fees and carrier charges billed to us. If these charges exceed the item price, no refund is due and we may invoice you for the difference.
  • If the carrier destroys or abandons the parcel because the fees weren't paid, no refund is due.
  • To avoid this, please pay promptly when the delivering carrier contacts you. In the US, parcels are currently delivered by DHL Express, which contacts you under its own 10-digit waybill number (not the CC… tracking number in our email) and shows Pos Indonesia as the sender; those requests are genuine. DHL Express US: 1-800-225-5345, WhatsApp +1-480-418-5011, or chat at mydhl.express.dhl.

Damaged or lost parcels

Tokopie is not liable for products damaged or lost during shipping. If your order arrives damaged, please contact the delivering carrier to file a claim. Please keep all the packaging and the damaged items for the claim.

If an item arrives faulty, or we packed the wrong item, please see our Refund Policy. If the contents look mixed up or swapped in transit, email us with photos of the parcel and its labels, and we'll help you with the carrier.
