📌 See every Pokemon goods design
The collaboration has 41 items in total, according to the official announcement. This post only shows images of a few main products. You can see the actual design of each item, including the tumblers, bottles, mugs, aprons, tote bags and pouches, in the Starbucks Japan official press release.
✅ Online sales are scheduled to start at 6 a.m. on September 30
Starbucks Pokemon goods are scheduled to go on sale on the official online store from 6 a.m. on September 30. If traffic is heavy, a waiting room may be used, and waiting on the site before 6 a.m. does not get you in first.
From launch day until 5:59 a.m. on October 1, purchases are limited to one of each item per checkout.
Shipping is 330 yen for regular items, and free when the pre-tax total of one order is 5,000 yen or more. Regular orders ship within about 5 days at the latest, though this can differ if you choose a delivery date.
Items that sell out online may go on pre-order depending on how many people sign up for the "restock notification". If a pre-order is decided, people who registered for the notification are told by email.
✅ How travelers can buy online
The Starbucks Japan official online store does not ship overseas, so you need a delivery address in Japan. And if you pay by credit card directly on the online store, only a card in your own name issued in Japan is accepted.
You can sign up for My Starbucks on the official website and register a Starbucks Card you own. To pay with a Starbucks Card on the online store, you need to use the main card that is web-registered to My Starbucks.
Credit cards issued outside Japan cannot be used for direct payment on the official online store. Instead, you can register a Starbucks Card bought in Japan to My Starbucks and pay on the online store with that card's balance. Some items may not accept Starbucks Card payment, though.
① Load a Starbucks Card with at least the order amount at a Starbucks store in Japan
② Sign up for My Starbucks and register the Starbucks Card
③ Pay on the official online store with the Starbucks Card balance
④ Have it delivered to an address in Japan
※ A Starbucks Card can be loaded in 1-yen steps from 1,000 yen, up to a balance of 30,000 yen.
※ In the official app, you can top up a Starbucks Card online with Apple Pay.
※ Some items on the online store cannot be paid for with a Starbucks Card. Whether the Pokemon goods accept Starbucks Card payment has to be checked on the product page after sales start on September 30.
