​

1. Return Period

You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your order.

Please note the following timeline:

  • Return requests are reviewed within 7 business days.

  • Once approved, the item must be shipped back within 7 business days.

  • After we receive and inspect the returned item, your refund or exchange will be processed within 7 business days.

  • Depending on your payment provider or bank, refunds may take up to 30 business days to appear in your account.

​

2. Return Requirements

To ensure a smooth return process, please make sure that:

  • The return is shipped using a trackable shipping service.

  • The item is returned in the same condition as received.

  • The original packaging, accessories, manuals, and all included parts are returned.

  • The item has not been used.

  • There are no stains, scratches, or customer-caused damage.

Customers are responsible for properly packing returned items. Japan Toy Center cannot be responsible for damage occurring during return shipment.

Returns that do not meet these requirements may be declined.

​

3. Return Shipping Costs

Customers are responsible for both the original shipping cost and the return shipping cost in the following situations:

  • Incorrect shipping address

  • Unclaimed packages

  • Refused delivery

  • Failure to pay customs duties or import taxes

  • Failure to provide customs documentation required by the destination country

Because international shipping can be expensive, we recommend carefully considering your purchase before requesting a return.

​

4. Returns We Cannot Accept

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns for the following reasons:

  • The item has been opened or used.

  • Change of mind.

  • The product does not meet personal preferences.

  • The item was not purchased from Japan Toy Center.

  • Allergic reactions (please contact us before purchasing if you have ingredient concerns).

  • Damage caused by misuse, modification, or improper handling.

5. Returns for Damaged, Incorrect or Defective Items

If you receive a damaged, incorrect, or defective item, please contact us immediately.

To help us process your claim quickly, please provide:

Your Order Number

Photos of the shipping box
A video of the unboxing process (strongly recommended)

Please contact us at: order@japantoycenter.com

These materials help us work directly with the manufacturer and shipping carrier to resolve your issue as quickly as possible.

Please note that damage to the outer product box or packaging alone is not considered product damage, as collector packaging may receive minor wear during international shipping.

Once your claim is approved, Japan Toy Center will cover:

Full product refund or replacement
Original shipping cost
Approved return shipping cost
