We Love Japan!

This video was released to explain the nuclear situation to children in Japan.  We love Japan and their creative (and funny) ways to reach everyone.  For children they are using farts to help explain the current situation.

A Message From Rinkya During This Difficult Time for Japan

Thank you to all our customers who sent in their concern and kind words for our safety. The Rinkya staff in Japan is safe and sound along with all your items at our warehouse. Unfortunately, checking your items arrival and sending out packages will experience a delay due to the recent disaster. We do expect the delivery services to experience a delay as well, which is beyond our control.

Never fear though, the Rinkya staff is working hard on making sure the delay is as short as possible. The things you love and we love about Japan cannot be destroyed! Thank you for your patience during this time.

Itsumo doomo arigatou gozaimasu,
Heather Russell
CEO
