Fast Shipping

Fedex
Fast trackable and insured shipping. Signature not required, unless you ask us to require one. Generally the most reliable service. Usually delivery is within 5 working days.

EMS
Fast and Trackable. Signature required. Insured to about $150 per order. Our default carrier when Fedex is too expensive or does not ship to the area concerned.

USA Tariff?

5We’ve added Tariffs to USA orders ( 15% as of August 2025 ). These are paid to the shipping Company which then pays them to CBP, on import to the USA. In theory, there should not be any extra fees to be paid by customers, on arrival of the product. The alternative, is the customer pays separately, at a later date, which for most people is a hassle.

Fedex and Mail ( when air mail restarts ) are increasing their prices due to cost involved with processing Tariffs ( collection and payment ). With Fedex it is $5 per package. This is built into the shipping cost. We will update the Air Mail costs once Japan post starts shipping to the US again. Currently all shipments to the US go Fedex.

We’ve not put up prices, on most of our items for over 10yrs. The PC-8, for example was $65 in 2010 and is $65 today. We would love to be in a position to bear the cost of Tariffs, but being a small company focused on value for money products, we cannot currently afford to do so.

In a A Rush?

If you need your order urgent, please email us and we will try to expediate.

Shipping Upgrades

For orders over $250 ( excluding heavy items such as lights or rectifiers ) we will upgrade to Fedex or EMS shipping ( if not selected ). Generally this applies to orders under 1Kg that are over $250 excluding shipping. This offer might not apply for very remote addresses due to high shipping costs. If we can apply it we will.

Singature Caution

For any shipping method, if a signature is required, the item will not be delivered if the carrier cannot get a signature. This would result in the package being returned to Eastern Beaver and thus further shipping costs, for the customer. Please make sure someone is there to sign for the package, OR contact the local Post Office and ask them to hold the package for you.

For Fedex we can ship the the local depot, OR we can request no signature in which case, they will usually take a picture of the item at your address.
