Customers who have placed an order but have not received an email

Once we have confirmed your order information, we will send you an automatic email from our system.
The following may be the reasons why you have not received the email:

  • The email address registered in your membership information may be out of date (not currently in use).
  • If you use a free email address (hotmail.com or yahoo.co.jp)
  • If the maximum capacity of the box has been exceeded
  • The email may not reach your inbox due to spam or junk filter settings (such as spam filters for carrier email).

We apologize for the inconvenience, but please check the email address you are using and the email settings on your computer or mobile phone.
Also, if you are using a free email service such as Yahoo! or Hotmail, the free email service server may be putting our emails in your spam folder or deleting them. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please check.
If you are using spam filters with your carrier email address, such as docomo, au, or softbank, please set your email settings to allow reception of emails from @tamakona.co.jp.

Regarding non-delivery of carrier email or free email, the majority of the issues are due to system problems on the service provider's side, and we are currently unable to solve the issue on our own. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we appreciate your cooperation.
If you have not received the email for any reason other than those mentioned above, please contact us.
