Depending
on the which part you are from, shipping takes about 2 months from west
coast United States, 40 days from Europe.
After
the arrival to the Tokyo port, the container drainage and custom clearance
will take another 4 to 7 days.
Then
shipped items will be unloaded from the container and reloaded on a
truck to be delivered to your home. Roads in Japanese residential area
are not wide enough for direct container delivery.
So,
it usually takes over 1 month to receive shipped out items from the
US, and almost 2 months for the items from Europe. While waiting for
the shipment to come, some people enjoy staying in hotels, but in many
cases, long hotel stay is boring and sometimes rather painful.
