Shipping, delivery & customs

Verified orders are usually processed in 1–3 business days. Standard handcrafted katana normally need 7–21 business days of workshop preparation before dispatch; peak periods may take longer.

Transit begins after dispatch. Most destinations take about 7–15 days, mainland Europe about 17–20 days, Japan about 12–15 days. United States: Standard Shipping is free — sea freight to the U.S. (about 12–18 days) plus local delivery (3–7 days), about 17–25 days in total. Or choose Expedited Air from $20 — air freight to our U.S. hub (10–15 days) plus local delivery (2–5 days), about 12–20 days in total.

Shipping is calculated separately from the product price using each cart item's confirmed shipping type and quantity. The final rate is shown at checkout. EU VAT is typically included for standard packages; UK and other non-EU duties are generally not included. Swords over 1.18 m follow an oversized exception.

Returns & support

Eligible unused, non-custom items in original condition and packaging may be requested for return within 30 days of delivery. Custom products and gift cards are not returnable.

For non-quality returns, the customer covers return shipping. If an item arrives damaged or defective, contact NIMOFAN promptly with your order number and photos so the support team can review it.
