GlobalPost Shipping Update

 

Updated July 5, 2025:

We are happy to announce that we continue to offer discounted shipping rates for most of our international customers using GlobalPost ( GoGlobalPost.com).

This discount is available to most non-USA shipments, but is not yet available at checkout on our website. If you are an international buyer, please contact us before ordering, Details below.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

 1. For Australia & New Zealand:

If you want to purchase something from us on yokodana.com for shipment to Australia or New Zealand, we now have discounted international shipment rates. We suggest you contact us before ordering, sending your name, full shipping address, and phone number (For label & customs form use only, no calls from us.); Please give us the product number(s) and quantity to be ordered. We'll then provide a shipping quote and subsequent instructions on how to complete your order if you approve the discounted rate.

 2. All other Countries:

GlobalPost(tm) rates vary by country. We are seeing substantial discounts to most areas (Asia, Middle East, Europe, Australia & New Zealand). Sample rates seen recently, include did a 20% cheaper than USPS Priority Mail International rate:  A 10lbs net wt.(12lbs gwt) package to Australia costs about US$20.00 less than standard US Postal Service rates to Australia.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot integrate the GlobalPost(tm) shipping options and rate into our ecommerce check-out process on yokodana.com, so, for now, we have to customize an invoice before ordering;  or, if someone orders using our standard Postal rates* offered during standard yokodana.com checkout, we will refund any difference after any such purchase made through our cart system on yokodana.com.

*The shipping rates shown to international customers are almost always higher than what we can get using GlobalPost - sometimes as much as 20% or higher

If you are an international customer, before ordering you can query us with your full delivery name, address, and phone number at delivery point; please be sure to include product(s) you wish to buy/ship, and we’ll give you a shipping quote before you order and instructions on how to complete the purchase on our website.

Any questions please feel free to contact us via the contact tabs on each page of our site, or please  message us HERE.
