Seido offers the fastest service in Japan, that's a fact. But we don't perform magic either and while under control, the covid situation has imposed some limits, so to avoid any bad surprise here is our schedule for December!

• Made to Order items (embroidered belts, made to order Dogi/Iaito etc.): Order before November 23rd and you will be delivered before Christmas.
• In stock products shipped via FedEx, DHL, or UPS: last chance to get items with embroideries/engravings delivered before Christmas is December 17th .
• Because of the covid situation significant delays are to be expected with national postal services, so we do not guarantee delivery before Christmas for the standard shipping method (small package/Epacket). Please make sure to select express shipping at checkout. 

We usually deliver in 4 days in Europe and North America. Our entire team will be focused on preparing your orders, and all orders placed on the 17th will ship on the 18th.

• We'll be open until December 29th, then closed from the 30th to January 5th, for our winter holidays. Of course, email support will be slower but maintained the whole time.

Finally, please understand that our carriers don't employ magical reindeer, and Santa Claus isn't working at the customs. Hence, on-time order delivery cannot be guaranteed 100% so please don't wait until the last minute to order!
