Expect Delays: Golden Week in Japan - 4/29/23 to 5/7/23

Post by City17Banner » Sun Apr 09, 2023 9:23 am

Hello Everyone,

This is a reminder that this year, the Golden Week Holiday, which is one of three major holiday periods in Japan, will be from April 29th through May 7th.

During this time period the vast majority of JDM online retailers, brick & mortar tackle shops, and 3rd party proxy providers will be closed and unable to ship any JDM fishing tackle until after business resumes on May 8th. Please plan accordingly and either submit your JDM fishing tackle orders prior to the Golden Week holiday period or be prepared to wait until after Golden Week has passed.

Please have a great day!
Sincerely,
NV

You are most welcome sir!

I totally forgot about it, myself, until my personal shopper in Japan reminded me that it was coming up at the end of April.

Why are we not starting a support group for the sufferers of this tragic condition?

It appears that Hedgehog and Avail are working during the Holiday because my package from Hedgehog is on it's way. \:D/

I ordered a Gekkabijin from digitaka on Monday.

I have a shipping confirmation and my package is moving. Looks like a few folks are working.

Japan tackle sent my order in four days so no effect on them I guess
