Basically, 2020 Daiwa Luvias is made in Japan.
However, although the initial production model is made in Japan, some of the additional Luvias (additional production, etc.) are manufactured at the Daiwa plant in China.
Currently, even if Luvias were manufactured with the same reel size, because it is divided into Japan and China, it is difficult for us to purchase from Daiwa only reels that are described as made in Japan.
However, even if it says "Made in China", the final confirmation of the product is done by Daiwa in Japan and it is shipped from Japan. we would appreciate if you kind understanding.
If you don't need Luvias this time, of course, we accept returns.
Sorry to trouble you, but we would appreciate your cooperation in returning reel. of course, we will bear the return cost.
We ship by Japan Post EMS, but EMS does not support return labels.
Therefore, we will pay the return cost to your PayPal.
Sorry to trouble you but please tell us your PayPal email address and return cost.
