Pretty sure EMS uses commercial flights for small package transport, not too many flights of late.
UPS, Fed Ex, and DHL, have a private cargo fleet.

I don’t want to break the rules here but are there any companies that are shipping from Japan now? I don’t need to know their names.

One of my orders has been in limbo since April 14 as well but no movement as of yet. Curious to see if it moves soon since yours did. (having visions of workers unstacking mountains of boxes in some warehouse - lols)

Thanks for the update!

According to “The Hill” political magazine, PM Abe is lifting COVID-19 emergency restrictions. The article DID NOT enumerate what these measures were but I will presume, regular mail services would be a return to normal.

Anyone still awaiting JDM equipment ordered back in April?

I am still waiting on 2 rods ordered in early April. Last update said the rods were accepted in Tokyo. Thinking these shipments might have been lost or worst?
