Japan Post has a good reputation for delivery of products compared to
many overseas postal services.

They also have some unique services to offer. Here they are allowing
you to send some of Japans finest koshi hikari rice by post as a gift.

Just fill in the form and your friends / family will be enjoying their
rice very soon.

Nice to see a non-net company providing a similar to net companies
like amazon.

Have you ever sent a gift like this or from amazon? What did your
friends think?

    lol. food items are prohibited to be sent by post here. some courier companies do provide the service but charge a hefty fee.

    despite various complains from my fellow nationals, I find that the postal service are able to deliver the goods. Only had 1 incident of lost package using SAL(HLJ give replacement for free ^^; ). So far so good.

    In the UK you can have clotted cream sent from the West Country in insulated packages.

      Clotted cream... Yum!

      The Loch Fyne restaurant chain will also send you oysters and smoked salmon by post.

    Yeah we usually send fruit here. Then UPS losses it over the weekend, and they have a swarm of fruit flies in their warehouse.
