FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about shipping, customs, authenticity, sizing, and returns.

Shipping & Delivery

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. We ship worldwide from Japan.

How long until my order ships?

Orders are dispatched within 2–3 business days after payment is confirmed (excluding weekends and Japanese public holidays).

How long does delivery take?

After dispatch, delivery typically takes an additional 3–4 business days, depending on your destination and customs clearance.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is calculated based on your destination and order contents, and the final amount is shown at checkout before you complete your order.

Which carriers do you use?

Orders are shipped with trackable carriers — primarily DHL or FedEx, and in some cases EMS or USPS — selected by destination. Other carriers may be used where appropriate.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order ships, we send you a tracking number so you can follow your parcel.

Which countries do you ship to?

We ship worldwide from Japan, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the EU, Australia, and across Asia. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your destination.

What if my shipping address is wrong?

Please make sure your address is complete and accurate at checkout. We cannot be responsible for delays or losses caused by an incorrect or incomplete address.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

Will I have to pay import duties or taxes?

Possibly. Orders ship on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis, which means any import duties, taxes, or customs fees charged by your destination country are the buyer's responsibility. These vary by country (including the US) and are collected by the carrier or your local customs office.

Can you tell me how much duty I'll pay?

No — these charges are set by your local authorities and we cannot estimate or control them.

What if my order is delayed or stuck in customs?

Delivery times can vary due to customs clearance, weather, or carrier delays, which are outside our control. Please use your tracking number to follow your parcel. Customs may occasionally hold a package while duties or documentation are processed. If your tracking hasn't updated for an extended period, email us at info@roamwalk.net and we'll help look into it.

What happens if I refuse delivery or don't pay the customs charges?

Because orders ship DDU, import duties and taxes must be paid by the buyer to receive the parcel. If a package is refused or returned because customs charges were not paid, any resulting return shipping or handling costs are non-refundable and may be deducted from any refund.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

Credit cards (Visa / Mastercard / American Express), Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and other methods available at Shopify checkout.

What currency are prices in?

Prices are shown in USD on each product page. Shipping and any import duties or taxes are separate.

Authenticity & Condition

Are your items authentic?

Every item is authenticated in accordance with the professional authentication policies of our partner shops — established Japanese resale specialists with deep expertise in vintage and archive fashion — before it is listed.

What condition are the items in?

All items are pre-owned vintage or archive pieces (we may occasionally also offer new or unused items). Each item is described individually on its product page. Because vintage items are pre-owned, minor signs of wear, aging, or small imperfections are natural to their character and are not considered defects.

Can I request more photos before buying?

Yes. Message us on Instagram (@arend_store0704) and we'll be happy to share additional photos or details.

Sizing & Measurements

How do I know if an item will fit?

Each product page lists garment measurements. Because our items are one-of-a-kind, we recommend comparing these measurements to a similar item you already own.

Are the measurements exact?

Measurements are taken manually and may vary slightly. If you'd like a specific measurement that isn't listed, contact us before purchasing.

Are measurements in centimeters or inches?

Measurements on our product pages are listed in centimeters (cm). If you'd like a conversion or a specific measurement that isn't shown, contact us before purchasing and we'll help.

Returns & Refunds

Can I return an item if I change my mind?

As a general rule, all sales are final. Because each piece is one-of-a-kind, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind, sizing, or fit — so please check the measurements and condition notes carefully before ordering.

What if my item arrives significantly not as described, or you made an error?

Contact us at info@roamwalk.net within 7 days of delivery with your order number, photos, and the reason. We'll make it right, and we cover the return shipping in these cases.

My item arrived damaged in transit — what should I do?

Please email us at info@roamwalk.net within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the item and its packaging. This is separate from the natural signs of wear on vintage pieces; if your item was damaged in transit, we'll help make it right.

I'm in the EU or the UK — do I have additional return rights?

Yes. If you reside in the EU or the UK, you have a statutory right to cancel your order for any reason within 14 days of receiving it. The item must be unworn, unused, and in its original condition with any tags attached. For change-of-mind cancellations, return shipping is paid by the customer; for faulty or not-as-described items, we cover it.

How long do refunds take?

Approved refunds are issued within 10 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item. For EU/UK statutory cancellations, refunds are issued within 14 days as required by law.

Are shipping fees refundable?

Original outbound shipping fees are non-refundable for change-of-mind returns. They are refunded where the return is due to our error or required by EU/UK law.

About ROAMWALK & Our Partner Shops

Who is ROAMWALK?

ROAMWALK is an online store operated by AREND LLC, a company registered in Japan. We bring carefully selected Japanese vintage and archive fashion to buyers worldwide.

Is ROAMWALK a legitimate, trustworthy store?

Yes. ROAMWALK is operated by AREND LLC, a company officially registered in Japan and licensed as a second-hand goods dealer (Antique Dealer License No. 451910009966). Every item is authenticated by our professional partner shops before listing, and all payments are processed securely through Shopify checkout. Full company details are available in our Legal Notice.

Where do the items come from?

Our pieces are sourced from a curated network of trusted vintage and select shops across Japan. Each item is one-of-a-kind, so once it sells, restocking the identical piece cannot be guaranteed.

What happens if an item sells out right after I order?

Because stock is limited to a single unit, in the rare case an item becomes unavailable after your order (for example, a simultaneous sale), we will cancel and fully refund your order.

Still have questions?

Before you buy — questions about condition or measurements — message us on Instagram, we usually reply within 24 hours.
After your purchase, email us and we'll respond in order of receipt.
