How short can royal mail deliver something from japan

Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, has a global network that allows them to deliver mail and packages from Japan to the UK. The delivery time and options depend on the type of service chosen, the weight and size of the item, and the destination in the UK.

Here are some general guidelines on how short Royal Mail can deliver something from Japan:

  1. Airmail: This is the fastest option, with delivery times ranging from 3-5 working days to the UK, depending on the destination. Airmail is available for items up to 2kg in weight and 60cm in length.
  2. International Tracked & Signed: This service provides tracking and signature upon delivery. Delivery times are typically 5-7 working days to the UK. This service is available for items up to 20kg in weight and 120cm in length.
  3. International Signed: This service provides signature upon delivery, but without tracking. Delivery times are typically 7-10 working days to the UK. This service is available for items up to 20kg in weight and 120cm in length.
  4. Surface Mail: This is the slowest option, with delivery times ranging from 20-30 working days to the UK. Surface Mail is available for items up to 20kg in weight and 120cm in length.

Please note that these delivery times are estimates and may vary depending on various factors, such as customs clearance, weather conditions, and the efficiency of the postal services in both Japan and the UK.

It's also important to check the Royal Mail website for any specific restrictions or requirements for sending items from Japan, such as customs forms, duty payments, or prohibited items.
