	<description><![CDATA[MA by So Shi Te is an interior goods store specializing in all things made in Japan and we have a real store in Tokyo (HP: https://www.mabysoshite.com/en/ ). 
(Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mabysoshite/ ) 
At the store we have wide variety of products from various parts of Japan, but on this online store,
 we mainly provide Japanese karakuri puzzle boxes and himitsubako secret boxes. 
The price is based on tax free prices, so you can order only from outside of Japan. For the order to deliver within Japan, please visit our main HP for the domestic online stores.

If there is any trouble purchasing on this online store, please contact us from the contact page. We can use PayPal invoicing system instead. 

<<For International Shipping>>
For the shipping methods, you can choose either EMS or e packet services. 

EMS is the fastest and the most reliable way of shipping taking from 2 to 4 days for the delivery depending on the country you are living and it is fully insured. 

e packet is the cheaper option taking 4 to 7 days for the delivery depending on your country and the 
insurance is up to 6,000yen, but it is a lot cheaper than EMS. So any orders for the value of less than
 6,000yen, e packet is a better option to choose. 

The cost of shipping is only for 1 piece and when you want to add more than 2 items, we will notify you the correct shipping charge and we will send you the payment request afterward. 

Should you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us from the contact page.
