For those who already have Yubin Biz Card (ゆうびんビズカード) contract with Japan Post, you can simply follow these steps and register your Japan Post account to ship with Ship&co. In this article, we will provide a list of the Japan Post domestic services that are supported by Ship&co.
Supported Japan Post Domestic Shipping Services
Ship&co supports Japan Post domestic shipping services: Yu-Pack and Yu-Packet. These two services are widely used to ship e-commerce parcels in Japan. The Yu-Pack pay-on-delivery (着払い) option is not supported by Ship&co.
1. Yu-Pack
Ship&co supports the following services.
- Regular Yu-Pack (ゆうパック)
- Chilled/Refrigerated Yu-Pack (ゆうパックチルド)
- Frozen Yu-Pack (ゆうパック冷凍)
Shipping Label Sheets:
▪️For laser/inkjet printers, Yu-pack shipping labels must be printed on the special paper “ユ00783” (A4 size). To obtain this special paper, please contact your post office.
Note: Regarding “ユ00783” (A4 size), the label size is A5, so when creating a label one by one, it will always be printed on the upper half of the dedicated ユ00783 sheet. Depending on your printer, the following methods may also be available. Please check if these options work with your printer:
- After printing on the upper half of an A4 sheet, cut along the center line to remove the used upper half, and reuse the lower half for printing another shipping label.
- Pre-cut A4 sheets into two halves (upper and lower) and set the necessary number of sheets in your printer.
▪️For thermal printers, please use "ユ00572". To obtain this special paper, please contact your post office.
Available option services for Yu-Pack
▪️Cash On Delivery (COD / Daibiki / 代金引換) Option
If you offer a cash-on-delivery payment option for your online store, you can use Ship&co to create a cash-on-delivery shipping label. Please make sure to have a cash on delivery agreement with Japan Post in advance. If you add a cash-on-delivery contract after an approval code (承認コード) has been issued by Japan Post, please request your local post office representative to update the approval code with the new contract information. (If there is any delay or difficulty with the process at your local post office, please contact our customer support team for assistance.)
To learn how to create a cash-on-delivery shipping label, follow this guideline.
▪️Security Service (セキュリティーサービス)
Yu-Pack includes compensation of up to 300,000 yen. If you require coverage exceeding 300,000 yen, you can enable the "Security Service" option to extend coverage up to 500,000 yen.
- The Security Service option can be used together with Cash on Delivery (COD).
- The Security Service option cannot be applied to refrigerated delivery services.
