What is "Smart Return"?
Smart Return is a system that allows returns of eligible products (interchangeable lenses, smartphones, binoculars) to be completed easily via smartphone. Our company usually requires customers to bear the shipping cost for returns, but by paying a shipping fee of 380 yen (usually 680 yen) at the time of reservation, you can return items without filling out a shipping label from the four main islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, excluding Okinawa and remote islands).
Shipping methods include Yamato Transport sales offices, FamilyMart, Seven-Eleven, PUDO stations, and home collection requests are also supported.
