The access and timeliness of delivery services are one of the most convenient parts of life in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although figuring out the process of rescheduling the delivery (when you can’t schedule the delivery time) can be tricky. Furthermore, some parcels need to have the signature of the recipient to be delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n

When a delivery person is unable to deliver your package, they will leave a Undeliverable Item Notice (Fuzaihyou \u4e0d\u5728\u7968) in your mailbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

These notices have many notes (in Japanese) in regards to the redelivery. To get started on the redelivery, you can scan the QR Code on the notice, pick up your phone, or open up the below links for the redelivery website.<\/span><\/p>\n
