Send a parcel to Japan from France?

Question

Is there any weight limit when you want to post a parcel to Japan?

How much would it cost the the maximum weight?

Any size restrictions?

Answer 1

The cheapest method is the French post office: La Poste.

You have the choice between two services, Colissimo (4 to 8 days) or Colissimo Economique (9 to 15 days). The maximum weight is 30 kg (= 66 lbs) and the maximum price is 276 € or 197 € for the slower option.

Maximum dimensions must be W+L+H = 150 cm, Length being 100cm maximum.

If your package is larger ask the Post office for advice. You either pay 5 € more or they will propose another service. Check also the regulations for Japan as each country has its own restrictions. The Post office can advise you on that too.
