How long, on average, would it take for a parcel from Japan to arrive in the UK?

Question

My sister, who is in Japan at the moment, is sending me a bundle of Vivienne Westwood scarves in the post. She's sending it tomorrow- does anyone know how long it would take for the parcel from Japan to arrive at my home in England?

I'm hoping it wouldn't take too long, because i'd like to have them before I go back to university in 9 days- but my boyfriend says it'll take much longer than that. Is he right?

Answer 1

Depending on how she is sending it, it can take from 5 days to 6 weeks. If it's by airmail it usually doesn't take that long. I bought a Rubik's cube on eBay from Japan and it only took 6 days to arrive by airmail.

Answer 2

I sent a 10kg box from Japan NOT by airmail and it took about 5 or 6 weeks. if its not by airmail it'll take about the same as mine.
