I'm waiting to hear from s_vamp to find out if that's Honto's standard shipping label. Truth is, I will be ordering from Japan infrequently (and usually for G-Defend), so I probably won't be using Honto, but it would be good to know if this is their SOP or if there's a user profile attribute that will flag for an international address that you neglected to check. (Which means I have undoubtedly neglected to check it as well. Because your delayed shipment is somehow all about ME and MY NEEDS.)

Your poor books, back and forth across the ocean. They want you to read them now. Start with Hana wa Saku ka.
