Yamato Transport always delivered the packages as promised to our hotels (sometimes same day delivery if ordering in the morning), and the hotels had no problems accepting and delivering the packages to our rooms. Just thought I'd pass this along for those who are coming to Japan as it did not initially occur to me that this home convenience would be available/accessible to me as a foreigner.
Yep, it is quick, and packages don't go missing from doorsteps either.
You don't even need Prime, as regular shipping is usually the same speed.
Sometimes we don't appreciate how good we have it (Amazon is only in 13 countries).
I spent a year in Australia and was shocked not to have it as an option.
