Frequently Asked Questions

What does retention mean in Japan Post?

Retention means that the parcel is being held at a local Japan Post office for pickup. This usually occurs when a delivery attempt fails or the recipient is unavailable. The item will remain at the post office for a certain period, and the recipient must collect it within the given timeframe.

Does Japan Post deliver on weekends?

Yes, Japan Post delivers on Saturdays. However, Sunday delivery is not available for all services. For example, EMS (Express Mail Service) may offer Sunday delivery depending on the destination, but it’s not a standard feature for all Japan Post services.

What does final delivery mean in Japan Post?

Final delivery refers to the completion of the shipping process when the parcel has been successfully delivered to the recipient. At this stage, the tracking status will indicate that the item has been handed over to the recipient or placed in their mailbox, and no further action is required.
