How does Melobooks pack orders?

Funny thing here, usually they pack all items in huge carton boxes. Yep, even if you order one doujinshi, one keychain or a keyholder etc., they will take a large and heavy carton box and stick everything to the bottom. Don't even imagine to ship your order from Melonbooks in a SAL Small Packet or ePacket without repackaging, it won't fit into small packet size limits.

So, if you want to buy from this Japanese online store and ship it for a small shipping fee, just count on Remambo, we will pack it as light and safe as possible. Just take a look on these photos:
