GMO Pepabo, Inc. (President & Representative Director: Kentaro Sato), part of the GMO Internet Group, and operator of "minne byGMO Pepabo" (URL: https://minne.com/ ), commenced collaboration with Japan Post Co., Ltd.'s (hereinafter "Japan Post") "e-shipping service" on Monday, April 27, 2026. Consequently, the existing shipping partnership "Rakuraku Minneko Pack" with Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. has been enhanced by integrating Japan Post's services, and the entire shipping functionality has been rebranded as "Kantan minne Bin" (Easy minne Shipping) (URL: https://minne.com/lp/guides/kantan-minne-shipping ).
This renewal has added over 200,000 shipping locations nationwide, including post offices, mailboxes, Lawson convenience stores, and Sumari Box lockers. New Japan Post shipping methods such as Yu-Packet Post mini, Yu-Packet, and Yu-Pack have also been introduced.
[Background of Service Launch]
Shipping operations after a work is sold have been a significant burden for creators and brands. A survey (※1) conducted by "minne byGMO Pepabo" for creators and brands revealed that approximately 75% of respondents felt the shipping process was cumbersome and inefficient. Major issues cited included "creating shipping labels and attaching them" (24.2%) and "notifying buyers of tracking numbers" (21.7%). Many creators also expressed a preference for shipping locations like post offices (65.2%) and mailboxes (61.0%), indicating high demand for these options.
(※1) Survey period: August 27 to September 2, 2025 / Survey institution: GMO Pepabo, Inc. / Target: Creators and brands registered with "minne byGMO Pepabo" / Valid responses: 1,741 (※The number of responses varies per question) / Survey method: Internet survey
Given this background, "Kantan minne Bin" streamlines the shipping process by consolidating all shipping tasks into a single QR code, eliminating the need for three tasks: creating shipping labels, writing addresses, and manually entering tracking numbers.
Furthermore, the collaboration with Japan Post introduces shipping methods suitable for small and lightweight items, such as "Yu-Packet Post mini," making it easier to ship accessories and small crafts. It also supports mailbox drop-off, allowing creators to ship from nearby mailboxes at their convenience, without worrying about time constraints.
