About Japan Post
Japan Post is the official postal service provider of Japan that provides mail and parcel services in the country. The postal service is responsible for offering reliable yet affordable post, logistics, and courier services in the country. The specialty of the postal service is that it provides express mail services and international parcel services to serve the growing ecommerce sector in the country. As it is a postal service, it allows businesses to reach every corner of the country with its 100% geographical coverage.
The current edition of the postal service, i.e., the Japan Post, was founded on Oct 1, 2003. With its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, the postal service struggled to provide a hassle-free service to the citizens. As a result, Japan's government started privatizing the postal service in 2007.
The privatization of the Japan Post was completed in 2021, ending its tenure as a government-run organization. Currently, Japan Post has over 24,700 post offices in the country that are managed by a workforce of over 400,000 employees.
The Japan Post has focused on providing reliable and quicker mail and parcel services within the country. The express mail delivery services allow you to deliver within 1-7 business days, depending on the delivery location. If you are looking to get a parcel or an order delivered by a specific date, the carrier also provides a date-specified delivery service. To make it easier for businesses to ship their orders safely across the country, the postal service also offers packing materials.
Japan Post does offer pickup on requests with its express deliveries, or you can choose to use any of the post offices in the country to avail of their services. The postal service does offer to track services on its parcel, which will enable you to provide a better post-purchase experience to your customers.
To make it easier for businesses to manage their shipments with the carrier, the postal service offers a MyPage dashboard that allows for better order and delivery management. ClickPost has shipping and tracking API integration with Japan Post, which will enable you to have a better shipping reach in Japan within 24 hours.
