Which countries can orders be placed from?
ORDERS CAN BE PLACED FROM ALL COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE AND WE DELIVER TO ALL COUNTRIES
except China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan and Nigeria due to either high rates of credit card fraud or postal theft.
For countries in very remote locations or countries without express delivery services such as Bermuda, Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Montenegro, Serbia and Tahiti, deliveries may take between 7-14 days. In such cases, we will send packages by registered airmail. We will contact you by email if this is the case.
Payment options
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB as payment.
Please note, we do not accept PayPal, Nochex, bank transfers, cheques or money orders since they are very costly to process and can take up to 30 days to clear in Japan.
If you do not have one of the above credit cards, you could ask a friend or relative to purchase the item on your behalf, then pay them in cash.
Because Tokyoflash is a Japanese company, all transactions are processed in Japanese yen. When your credit card is charged your bank will convert the value of the transaction into your country's currency and then charge your card this amount.
Discounts in the form of coupon codes are deducted from the total value of your order in Japanese yen before the order is processed. Your bank will convert the total value of the transaction into your country's currency and then charge your card this amount.
Please note that the currency conversions on our website are only estimates and may differ slightly from the rate that you receive from your bank.

Reasons & solutions for rejected orders, credit and debit card declines
If your order has been DECLINED please ensure that you have entered your credit/debit card details including credit card number and expiry date correctly and that there are sufficient funds in your account. Then try placing your order again.
Your bank security might prevent unusual transactions such as a transaction from a foreign country. This is easily resolved by contacting your bank or credit card company.
If your order has been REJECTED it might be because we cannot deliver to your country or your credit card was flagged as fraudulent.
Your bank or credit card company can confirm why your credit or debit card was declined or rejected so if you are still experiencing difficulties, please contact your bank or credit card company.
If you have contacted your bank or credit card company and are still experiencing difficulties in placing your order, please email us at
and we will try to assist you.
Payment of tax and customs duty
For delivery to the US, orders up to the value of $500.00 are generally tax free from Japan.
For delivery to the UK, 17.5% VAT will be charged on the total price of your order (including shipping) by HM Revenue & Customs. Approximately 60p import duty per watch will also be charged. The Post Office or Parcelforce may also charge you an additional £13.50 administration charge for clearing packages through customs. For more information on Tax & Customs in the UK, please visit HM Revenue & Customs
For delivery to Europe and other countries, if your order is worth more than 45 Euros, your order will probably be taxed using the applicable tax and duty rate for your country. This could be up to 27% in some countries.
Tokyoflash online prices are far lower than retail prices to account for these charges.
Can I buy a gift certificate or gift voucher?
At present, we do not offer gift certificates or gift vouchers for use at our online store. If the product you are buying is a gift, it can be exchanged for a either a different design or for a full refund within 14 days from the date of purchase.
