FAQ

What is Oyatsu Mart?

Oyatsu Mart is owned and operated by Tokyo-born Hasegawa Co., Ltd. Since its founding in 1947, Hasegawa Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the confectionery wholesale business, placing top priority on its core business. Over the years, we have established ourselves as a local confectionery wholesaler representing the Kanto region, including Tokyo, Yokohama, and Saitama.

We position ourselves as an affordable niche brand that caters to Japanese sweets lovers who appreciate both traditional flavors and modern innovation. By providing premium quality products at affordable prices, we aim to make Japanese snacks available to people around the world.

What's included in the Oyatsu Mart Box?

The box contains 20 items, all of which are authentic Japanese sweets and sweets from local Japanese manufacturers carefully selected by wholesalers.

Can I purchase past boxes?

Unfortunately, due to limited stock, it is not possible to purchase past boxes. However, you may use our site to view past items available for individual purchase.

Are there vegan-only or halal-only box options?

There are currently no vegan-only or halal-only box options. While there are some items that are vegetarian-friendly, some items are not. To check which items are vegetarian-friendly, we highly recommend checking our website for more information about upcoming boxes.

Do you provide allergy information or offer custom boxes to fit dietary restrictions?

We currently do not customize boxes to meet specific dietary restrictions. We highly recommend checking our website for allergen information about upcoming boxes. Please understand that the information is not comprehensive and unfortunately we cannot guarantee that all items are non-allergenic for everyone.

Help! The snack is past its expiry date!

The Japanese dating system is yyyy/mm/dd. Therefore, if you see 2024/08/01, it means August 1, 2024.

We strive to deliver the freshest products, but if you believe your treat is truly expired, please send a clear photo of the treat and the expiration date to our support team.

Shipping

Is it possible to ship to Japan?

Use this text to answer questions in as much detail as possible for your customers.

Help! The box hasn't arrived yet!

All boxes are shipped by a third party carrier. Due to non-tracking shipping methods and because we have no control over the status and location of your package if your order is lost in transit, we unfortunately cannot offer a refund or reshipment.

If your order is confirmed to have been returned to our warehouse by the carrier and our team, it will be eligible for reshipment. Once the return is confirmed, your order can be reshipped. Please note that re-shipping costs will be borne by the customer.

Please check the tracking progress and contact your local carrier regularly to avoid having your box returned.

Due to the effects of earthquakes, weather, etc., shipping and delivery may take longer than usual.

How much is the shipping cost?

Shipping costs will vary depending on whether you purchase a subscription box or an individual item.

Additionally, due to rising transportation costs, we may have to make unavoidable changes to delivery methods, including changes to delivery charges.

When will my box be shipped and how long will it take to arrive?

After placing your order, your box will be immediately prepared, packed (within 3–5 business days), and handed over to the courier.


You will receive a confirmation email once your box is shipped from our Japan warehouse.


If you do not receive your box by the estimated arrival time, please contact your local carrier with your tracking number or contact our support team.


If your box is shipped by DHL, please contact DHL directly if you experience delivery issues (stolen box, wrong delivery address, etc.). Please note that we may not be able to provide support if you contact us more than one month after the final tracking status was delivered.

My product is missing or damaged in the box, what should I do?

We are sorry that you encountered this situation. We strive to ensure that all boxes arrive in new condition, but unfortunately we cannot supervise the entire shipping process.


If items in your shipment are damaged, expired, or missing (such as if the box arrived in good physical condition, but there are missing items), please contact our customer support team. Under “Shipping Issues,” select “Missing Items” or “Damaged Items” option.


To help our support team more quickly resolve your issue, please provide the following photos:


1. All sides of the shipping box (applies to both missing and damaged item issues)

Any compensation provided will be in the form of a partial refund or item replacement and all customers will be eligible for the compensation offer in the above cases.


If the contents are undamaged, damage to the item’s box or packaging will not result in a replacement. Broken items such as cookies, chips, or other breakable snacks and weather-related melted chocolate may also not be eligible for exchange.


Note: Since weather temperatures fluctuate, we cannot guarantee that your chocolates will arrive in good condition. If the temperature in your area is above 23°C (73°F), your chocolate may arrive slightly damaged. Temperatures above 28°C (82°F) may cause the product to melt during shipping. We cannot be held responsible for damage caused by temperature during shipping.


Minor cosmetic damage such as small scratches may not be covered.


Due to inventory changes, issues must be reported within 7 days of receiving your shipment. The replacement item will be shipped to you shortly after the damage or missing item has been verified by a support representative. If the missing item is not in stock, our support team may suggest a replacement item.

Billing and payment

Can I purchase just one box without subscribing?

At this time, we only offer recurring subscriptions. However, you can easily buy just one box by subscribing to a monthly plan and canceling your subscription immediately. That way, you will only be charged for one month's worth of boxes.

Does the shipping fee cover customs fees and taxes?

Please double check your country's customs regulations. Rules regarding customs fees and taxes vary from country to country. If customs fees or taxes are charged, we are not responsible for covering them. Please note that we have no control over import taxes as customs duties are charged by local authorities.

A payment error occurred and I cannot subscribe!

Payment errors can occur if your credit card has expired or does not have sufficient funds. Please make sure your credit card is valid, has a valid expiration date, and has a sufficient balance.


If the error still occurs, try changing your payment method using PayPal linked to a valid credit card.


If your card has already been charged and you can't find your details, please contact our support team and provide your name, shipping address, and a screenshot of the transaction so we can verify it.


Zip code validation issues occur when the details on file on your card are different from the details you entered in your billing details. Make sure your zip code is the same as the one registered in your card details, or contact your bank issuer if you've recently moved, as it can take up to three months to update your information.

What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept payments via PayPal and all major credit cards. All payments are made through secure checkout and we do not share your details with any third parties.

What currency do you use?

Prices are in US dollars. Please note that exchange rates change daily, so we are unable to quote you a specific price.

When will I be charged?

You will be charged as soon as your order finishes checking out.


Future subscription payments will be made on the exact same day and time each month (depending on the plan, once every 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months) will be charged. For example, if you order and initialize your subscription on January 2nd, you will be charged on the 2nd of the following month. Your payment date may be one day earlier or one day later than your time zone. 


Please note that the renewal date policy is different if you sign up on the last day of the month.


If you forget the date and time of your order, simply sign in to your customer portal and check your next renewal date under My Subscriptions.

If I sign up for a 3, 6, or 12 month plan, will I be charged everything upfront?

Yes, you will be charged the full discounted price of your selected subscription upfront. Please note the order summary on the checkout page for the total amount you need to pay.

When is the order deadline for subscription boxes?

All subscription box orders are processed in JST (Japan Standard Time) and the cut-off period is the 15th of each month. For example:


・If you would like to receive the December Box, you must register between 12:01 a.m. on November 16th and 23:59 p.m. on December 15th (Japan time).


・If you would like to receive the January Box, you must register between 12:01 a.m. on December 16th and 23:59 p.m. on January 15th (Japan time).
