取り寄せ → Tori-yose
Many items ordered from Rakuten or Animate sometimes have 「取り寄せ] instead of purchase on the item page. Although 取り寄せ becomes "backordered" or "special order" when translated directly, the meaning of the word is different in Japan.
What it actually means:
✅ Items which are 取り寄せ aren't in stock, and the seller has to order the item from the manufacturer after the order is placed. Because of this, the final shipping date to our Warehouse isn't set. Stores often will cancel an order if they are unable to order it within 3 months.
Less confusion, more confidence. That’s what DEJAPAN’s here for.
