The news in September 2015 that Japanese online purchases could be picked up at Taiwan’s FamilyMart stores, and the subsequent March 2016 update allowing items to be shipped from Japanese FamilyMart outlets to be collected at Taiwanese ones, are undoubtedly great news for travelers who love buying Japanese goods. No need to worry about how much you can bring back — this convenient shipping service will be an excellent option for many travelers who’d rather not haul large or small items all the way back to Taiwan.

FamilyMart has over 3,000 stores in Taiwan. Capitalizing on its extensive retail network and the strong purchasing power of Taiwanese travelers in Japan, FamilyMart Japan has partnered with Japan Post to launch an overseas delivery service, confirmed to be operational within 2016 — potentially as early as mid-year.
