As the problem at the nuclear power plants in Fukushima caused by the Great Kanto-Tohoku Earthquake of March 11th has yet to be resolved, i-TM4U has temporarily revised our shipping regulations.
Scientists here say there is no severe danger for the residents of the districts more than 30Km from the plant.
Some people believe it is not 30km but rather 80km, but TOKYO is about 200-250km from the site.
The plant has been in a comparative lull so far and we don’t think there wil be a state of emergency.
Therefore we’re going to restore our shipping regulations gradually.
(Current Regulations)
Members and Non-Members
Items received within 3 days of each other can be combined (no extensions possible).
(Revisions)
Members -
Items received within 14 days of each other can be combined (no extensions possible).
Non-Members-
Items received within 10 days of each other can be combined (no extensions possible).
We ask for your understanding.

Currently (3/18), it has been recommended that everyone within a 90km radius of the Fukushima nuclear plant evacuation.
Tokyo is about 200-250km from the site, so according to current recommendations there are currently no problems for us. However, as the situation at the Fukushima nuclear plant has not been resolved, we cannot say that there is zero chance that Tokyo might have to evacuate as well.
Therefore, we would like to send out your items as soon as possible after we receive them.
If Tokyo were to evacuate, i-TM4U would move our office to Kansai or Shikoku and continue business as usual. We ask for your understanding.
Furthermore, we will continue to watch the state of affairs of the accident, and once a definitive recommendation has been made for Tokyo, we will cancel this temporary change in our regulations regarding shipping and the combining of packages.
Because of hitting large earthquake on 11th March, traffic system and transportation around Kanto-Tokyo area have much trouble.
We usually ship on Saturday but we cannot ship tomorrow(12th March) because of this reason.
We’re going to start to ship items next Monday; on 14th.
However, if large earthquake hit again (It’s still shaking some time), we may not be able to ship items next Monday. We’re going to update about it here in this case.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
As of late March, i-TM4U will start using an auction fee membeship system.
Our aim is to offer a lower commission fee on auctions for those that pay a flat membership fee each month. Those who wish to make auction requests regularly each month, please consider signing up for the auction fee membership.
In addition, if you have any friends who often use auctions, please let them know about this system.
Details will be announced on our homepage, the i-TM4U manager blog, and our Facebook page in March. （Furthermore, we do not have any plans to introduce a fee membership system for shopping requests.）
i-TM4U will soon open a Facebook page.
We decided to open a Facebook page in order to have even better communication with our customers and to show our friendliness to customers who have not used i-TM4U before.
We plan to announce details on our homepage and the i-TM4U manager’s blog soon.
