    Aiyu Japan Additional Services: what they are and when to use them

    Before requesting international shipping for your items, you can request additional services to inspect, photograph, protect, or better prepare your packages inside Aiyu Japan’s warehouse.

    First, the basics

    What are Additional Services?

    Additional Services are optional services you can request for an item that is already available in Aiyu Japan’s warehouse. They are designed to give you more control before your purchases are shipped internationally.

    For example, you can request a photo to check the contents, individual protection to better protect an item, a specific measurement if you need to confirm dimensions, or a basic function check for certain electronic products.

    These services are not mandatory. They are intended for cases where you want to inspect, protect, or better prepare a package before consolidation or international shipping.

    📷
    Inspect Request photos, video, or a specific check before shipping.
    🛡️
    Protect Add individual protection for items that need extra care.
    📏
    Prepare Request measurements, checks, or volume reduction when needed.
