Shipping policy

Raikou Shipping Policy

Free standard shipping worldwide. Every order ships free from Japan.

Processing and delivery

US orders: processing 1-4 business days; delivery 3-7 business days after dispatch.
International orders: processing 3-5 business days; delivery 10-15 business days, depending on customs.

If your order is delayed, contact us at info@raikou.store.

Katanas and blades

Authentic Japanese blades (Raikou Select): ship to the United States only. Every authentic blade in Japan carries a torokusho registration certificate that must be formally deregistered before export; we handle that process, and we personally confirm every sword order with the buyer before it ships.

Decorative replica swords: ship worldwide where local law permits their import and ownership.

Kitchen knives: ship worldwide.

It is the buyer's responsibility to confirm that blades are legal to import and own in their jurisdiction before ordering. Orders to destinations we cannot legally serve will be refunded in full.

Customs and import fees

Any customs duties, import fees, or local taxes are the buyer's responsibility. Raikou is not liable for items seized by customs where local import rules were not checked before ordering.

Address corrections

Made a mistake? Contact us before your order ships for a free correction. If the order has already shipped, contact us and the courier immediately.

Package marked delivered but missing

Wait one day, as carriers sometimes scan early. Then contact your local courier and us for assistance.

US military installations (APO/FPO)

Check delivery guidelines with your local command before ordering.

Age and legal compliance

By ordering blades, you confirm you are over 18 and that you are familiar with, and compliant with, your local laws. Keep all blades away from children.
