It wasnt written in kanji

[nzlegend 1]

Last week I sent a large envelope to Tokyo through the usual office courier, it was addressed with with a perfectly understandable printed label in English, anyway it arrived back today from the courier and I said to the J-staff "why did it come back?" and the flabbergasting answer was it was too hard to read in English, it needs to be written in Kanji!

Fancy that! I was too dumbstruck to even begin .....

I have had exactly the same experience. More than a bit annoying.

Couriers and post office = different. I have in the past had non-Japanese addressing on a courier parcel not accepted. Post office never had a problem.

missed the fine print there...

 

but surely there are many foreign businessmen here that can only use English... still pretty sad though...

I think if it's 'printed' one, easier to read. So I think there's no problem though?

Hand writings are a lot often hard for me to read.

I think so too, but I had a similar experience. They only accepted it after a LOT of fuss and asked me to try to put the Japanese on if possible. Kuroneko it was.

What if a Japanese person lobbed up in Italy and addressed a courier package in Japanese. I doubt it would get delivered.
