Sending a leather Jacket through Japanese Customs to be repaired?

That sounds a better deal

Marginally, but now that it has cleared customs would it be more convenient to let RM just fix it.

Snap, had that happen to me, buying from the UK here in Spain and once had to return it, coming back, correos madrid pirates got me again mm I won't do it again

Yeah you have to use DHL or UPS. They will ask for the original export papers though. Also, I don’t think it’s Correos themselves but ADT Postales, although maybe it’s a subsidiary.

I know, yes your correct it's ADT postales which is the adana customs subsidiary of correos at Barajas Airport

Glad this cleared customs for you Wolf, would be interested to know if you’ve got this back now and can share some updates/pics on the repair for us?

Sure! I got it back about a few weeks ago. I was worried because this was the height of the tariffs on Japan (and other countries), and needless to say, McCoys makes some pricey stuff. They marked as a gift and I had no issues, considering I bought it a couple years ago and all they were doing was a $85 repair. The repair looks great and the zipper works better than the old one, still not as good as the YKK zippers on my Iron Heart jackets. They also included the old zipper and a spare.

I’ll upload some pictures later.
