An ongoing transaction means orders that the client places on a regular basis, GoodsFromJapan dispatching the goods when they accumulate, or when the client demands dispatch. Such clients maintain a running account with GoodsFromJapan.

Ongoing clients enjoy generally lower service charges than one-off clients, but, after sampling our service, are required to forward a preliminary, negotiable and refundable initial sum as proof of their intention to continue as an ongoing client. For ongoing clients we offer a personalized, private and instantly accessible online account balance sheet for quick and easy confirmation at any time of goods ordered and current account balances.

To qualify as an ongoing client, one needs to order roughly 250,000 yen/month of goods.
