Asian Portal's website states:

"Currently, due to the impact of COVID-19, delivery of Japan Post has been delayed, or shipment to some countries has been stop, so we may switch to FedEx for delivery. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."

I placed an order last night from Asian Portal for a UL bass rod (only 1 left and they go fast) and the order confirmation states:

"Shipping Method：JAPAN POST - Priority Shipping


Delivery by EMS shipping. Available only for delivery to foreign countries."


Fingers crossed here my shipment does not get passed off to FedEx..........
