notice of change of shipping fares during the Christmas and end of year holiday season

increase of price for airfreight shipments

his is just a brief note about air shipping fares from Japan (I assume it is a generalized market adjustment worldwide).\nAll the forwarders we work with gave us the notice that the airfreight basic charges will increase 20% after december 1st. 2015.\nUsually the fares go up before Christmas but 20% is a notable increase!\n\nAgain, it is a recurring pattern that the fares decrease after the holiday season is over but never go completely back to normal.\nIf you are considering purchasing a Bartok bath (especially kadomaru type) I recommend to finalize and order before 11/15.\n\nI take this opportunity to announce that the Bartok design homepage is undergoing a renovation process and in december it will have an easier to use shop and booking section which will hopefully ease the matching between different clients shipping to similar locations and therefore allow considerable savings in the shipping charges.\nOf course I will keep you updated on the progress.\n\nHave a nice day// Sayonara~
