Yamato Transport Enhances Delivery Options in Japan

Yamato Transport Co., Ltd., a leading logistics provider based in Chuo City, Tokyo, is set to roll out an innovative same-day delivery service starting November 10, 2025. This service aims to significantly improve customer convenience and strengthen the company's existing parcel delivery operations.

As customer needs diversify due to technological advancements and shifting lifestyles, Yamato has committed to developing new services and solutions that meet these evolving requirements. By adding the same-day delivery option, the company aims to facilitate the fast delivery of parcels sent and received by its customers, ensuring greater satisfaction and efficiency.

Overview of the Same-Day Delivery Service

The new same-day delivery service addresses the growing demand for immediate parcel delivery. Customers can drop off their packages at Yamato’s sales offices during the morning hours, and they will be delivered to specified locations by 2 PM on the same day. This promising service is set to redefine parcel logistics by responding quickly to the pressing needs of both corporate and individual clients.

Key Features of the Service

• - Eligible Products: The service covers Yamato's standard parcel delivery, cool delivery, compact delivery, and collect delivery options. However, certain services such as round-trip delivery for ski equipment and airport parcel services are excluded.
• - Target Customers: This service is available to all customers, regardless of whether they are individuals or businesses.
• - Drop-off Locations: Customers can utilize any Yamato Transport sales office, with some exceptions.
• - Pricing Structure: Customers will incur the standard Yamato delivery fee plus an additional charge of 550 yen, including tax. For deliveries departing from Okinawa, a reduced surcharge of 330 yen will apply. Notably, from November 5 to November 9, 2025, customers will be able to experience this service for the standard delivery rate only.

Practical Use Cases

This service is particularly beneficial for diverse delivery scenarios:

• - Businesses: Companies can quickly send fresh agricultural products, urgent catalogs, or samples, ensuring items preserve their quality during transit.

New Pricing Structure for Intra-prefectural Deliveries

In addition to the same-day delivery service, Yamato will introduce a new pricing structure for deliveries within the same prefecture. Previously organized by regional zones, the new system allows for a more precise pricing model reflecting actual dispatch locations within prefectures. This will cater to the evolving customer demands and align with external environmental changes.

Eligible Delivery Products

The new intra-prefectural delivery rates will apply to standard parcels and cool delivery services. However, certain items, such as those dispatched to and from Okinawa, are excluded from this offer.

Pricing Example

• - 60 Size Box (Tokyo to within Tokyo): Previously 940 yen, now 790 yen.
• - 80 Size Box (Tokyo to within Gunma Prefecture): Remains 940 yen.

Delivery scenarios can include sharing home-grown vegetables or items utilized in local community events, making the service not just a convenience but a new way of fostering community ties.

Yamato Transport's new offerings reflect its commitment to innovation and customer service, establishing it as a leader in the logistics space. With these updates, customers can look forward to a seamless and efficient delivery experience.
