Year-End Mail-Order Deadline Calendar | Osechi, Furusato Nozei, Oseibo and Crab
For year-end mail orders, the order deadline, the change and cancellation deadline, and the delivery date are each set separately for every product. This article lists, in date order and as a guide, only the products introduced on Ochinity whose dates we could confirm on the sales pages. Dates differ from shop to shop and from year to year, so please always check the latest display on the sales page before you order.

The order is by date. The order is not a ranking. Whether a commission is paid has no effect on what is listed.
Osechi: Order Deadlines and Change/Cancellation Deadlines by Shop
With osechi (Japanese New Year’s dishes), some shops set the change and cancellation deadline well before the last day of ordering. For the following 3 shops, we checked the dates on the Rakuten Ichiba product pages (November 9, 2026, for Belluna Gourmet and 板前魂) and in the published single-product article (Kibun; as written on September 21, 2026).
| Product | Deadline | Checked against |
|---|---|---|
| ベルーナグルメ “結” | Changes and cancellations: until November 27 (Fri) / Early-bird order: until 15:00 on December 1 (Tue) / Final order: until 13:00 on December 26 (Sat) (for the 2-unit set and the single-item sets, until 15:00 on December 24 (Thu)). Delivery is on December 29 (Tue) | Rakuten Ichiba product page (checked November 9, 2026) |
| 板前魂 “望” | Changes and cancellations: the product page contains both a statement of “until December 10 (Thu)” and a statement that “because preparation for shipping starts right after the order, changes and cancellations cannot be accepted.” This article cannot judge which one applies (please check the sales page before ordering) / Orders for Hokkaido, Okinawa Prefecture, the Izu Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture (Kagoshima District and Oshima District) and remote islands: accepted until December 17 (Thu) | Rakuten Ichiba product page (checked November 9, 2026) |
| 紀文 “祝の幸” | Changes and cancellations: until 17:00 on December 10 (Thu) (delivery on December 30 or 31) | Ochinity single-product article (as written on September 21, 2026; not readable from the product page when rechecked on November 9, 2026) |
In addition, for SL Creations “絵馬”, cancellation must be reported 7 days before the specified delivery date, and because it is limited in quantity, reservations are described as closing once the planned number is reached (as written on the official store and in the single-product article). For how to compare osechi overall, see Recommended Mail-Order Osechi: How to Choose.
Furusato Nozei: Payment and Settlement Deadlines Tied to Shipping or Arrival Within the Year
For furusato nozei (hometown tax donation program) gifts, the payment or settlement deadline affects the shipping and arrival dates. The following dates are transcribed from the Rakuten Furusato Nozei application pages (checked October 29, 2026) and the single-product articles.
| Product | Deadline | Checked against |
|---|---|---|
| Sanriku Kaihouzuke (Kamaishi City) | Payments confirmed by December 7 are shipped within the year | Application page (checked October 29, 2026) |
| Torafugu Sashimi Set (Shimonoseki City) | Shipped in order: payments received by December 10 are shipped within the year. For December 11 or later, shipping starts in order from January 7 | Application page (checked October 29, 2026) |
| 鰤王 Fillet (Nagashima Town) | The settlement deadline is December 15 for shipments from December 22 to 24, and December 20 for shipments from December 25 to 30 | Application page (checked October 29, 2026) |
| 板前魂 Osechi (Izumisano City) | Payment: until 23:59 on December 20 (Sun). For addresses in Hokkaido, Okinawa, the Izu Islands and Kagoshima Prefecture (Kagoshima District and Oshima District), applications are accepted until December 17. Delivery is on one of December 29 to 31 | Application page (checked October 29, 2026) |
Some gifts show a within-the-year arrival window but no stated deadline (the seafood fukubukuro (lucky-bag set) and the Iwamoto osechi). For a fuller comparison, see Furusato Nozei Gifts With Year-End Shipping or Arrival Listed: Comparing Deadlines.
Oseibo and Crab: What We Could Confirm and What We Could Not
For oseibo (year-end gift) and crab mail order, in this check we found no product whose sales page gave a date such as “orders until [month/day].” We do not write down dates that are not known by guessing. From what we could confirm, the following can be said.
- Crab: In the single-product articles for the products introduced in Recommended Crab Mail Order: How to Choose, it is written that for 甲羅組 you can choose a delivery date from 4 days after the order date, and for 海鮮かに処 you can specify a date from usually 6 days after. If there is a day by which you must have it delivered at year-end, ordering early by counting back these days is a guide.
- Oseibo: Gift candidates are collected in Recommended Oseibo and Winter Gifts: How to Choose. We will add the deadline for each date to this page, starting with those confirmed on each product’s sales page.
What We Confirmed and What We Could Not
- What we confirmed: The dates for ベルーナグルメ “結” and 板前魂 “望” were confirmed by rereading the Rakuten Ichiba product pages on November 9, 2026. For the 4 furusato nozei products, what was confirmed on the Rakuten Furusato Nozei application pages on October 29, 2026 is transcribed from the published articles.
- What we could not confirm: The Kibun change and cancellation deadline is based on the single-product article as written on September 21, 2026, and could not be confirmed even when we reread the sales page on November 9. For 博多久松, the published single-product article has no deadline date, so it is not included in this table. For oseibo and crab, we could not confirm any deadline that comes with a date.
- Deadlines change by shop and by year, and when stock runs out, acceptance ends before the deadline. Please always check the latest display on the sales page before you order.
