Have you ever wanted to order from Athleta USA online and have it shipped to your location in Japan?
The quick answer to this question is it depends.
Only certain products can be shipped to Japan after ordering them from Athleta – not everything can be shipped.
You needn’t worry about this, though, as there is a way around the restrictions. A solution has been found to order anything from Athleta and ship it to Japan. Plus, it’s not expensive at all.
How to Get Items from Athleta USA Delivered to Japan
In order to purchase items from Athleta and then have them shipped internationally, you’ll have to have a US physical address. Athleta will ship your order to this US location.
What if you don’t live in the US? How can you get ahold of a physical US address to use?
Thankfully there are companies called Freight Forwarders that can give you a US address to use. These companies are based in the USA and will assist you in shipping your items internationally.
Once you sign up with one, you’ll be given a US address. You can use this address when ordering any goods or services from American companies.
