Send your parcels to Japan swiftly & securely
Most people assume that sending parcels to Japan is a long and expensive venture, but at The Delivery Group, it’s quite the opposite. Through us, you will be able to send parcels from the UK to Japan in as little as three working days and this comes with proof of delivery and full tracking around the clock.
We work in tandem with reputable mailing companies including the Royal Mail, assuring that your parcels to Japan arrive safely and on time.
We also provide timed deliveries, which means you can have your parcels collected anywhere, anytime in the UK and delivered anywhere, anytime in Japan. Whether you’re sending a small number of parcels from Oxford at 8am to reach Osaka the following week at 10am, or require fortnightly consignments to be delivered at the fastest speed, we can create a solution tailored to your needs.
Sending your parcels to Japan with The Delivery Group
When you partner with The Delivery Group you will be introduced to a number of benefits that will streamline your delivery requirements to Japan.
Guaranteed cost savings
We will not be beaten on price when it comes to sending parcels from the UK to Japan. This is for two reasons, we work and have developed strong partnerships with renowned mailing companies (including the Royal Mail) to ensure the best courier prices, and, if you find a cheaper parcel service to Japan, we will beat or match it.

An account manager who oversees your delivery structure
One of the biggest benefits of partnering with The Delivery Group is your dedicated account manager. They are responsible for handling all parcel and mailing enquiries, everything from sorting customs paperwork to providing advice and support, even across peak hours (including Black Fridays and Cyber Mondays).
This allows you to focus on the core aspects of running your business, without having to worry about managing your delivery requirements at the same time.
Flexible collection times
Customers will benefit from flexible collection and delivery times to suit their needs. For example, you could demand a small number of parcels to be collected from Kent at 9am and delivered to Osaka by 5pm the following day if you desired. Alternatively, we can also provide standard express delivery, which means we send your parcels as quickly as possible to their desired location.
Whatever you need, we will tailor a delivery plan that fits into your budget.
Tracked for your convenience
We have developed our own in-house tracking system that allows us 24/7 visualisation over your parcels travelling to Japan. As soon as they’re collected, they are tagged with a unique number that is used to track your parcels, and you can do the same by downloading our free tracking app from the Google Play Store.
