Expected shipping time.

When is the Hobonichi 2026 edition launching at Atlas Stationers?
The Hobonichi 2026 planners and refills will officially go live on Sunday, August 31, 2025 at 9:00 PM Central Time.

Where will the launch be available?
The launch will take place online at atlasstationers.com. Once our shipment arrives and is processed, we will start stocking in our retail store. Shipping is expected to take longer than our normal processing time and will commence once our initial order is cleared through customs and delivered to us.

Will items be available in store?
Yes. Once our shipment arrives and is processed, we will start stocking in our retail store. We do not have a firm launch date for the retail store.

Are these items available for pick-up?
Yes. Customers shopping online can choose in-store pickup at checkout.

If a pick-up order is placed, will it be available within the same day?
Yes, if placed during store hours, most pickup orders are ready the same business day. Orders placed after hours will be ready the next business day. This will not apply until we have our opening order stocked.

Do items typically sell out quickly?
Yes. Popular styles, covers, and special collaborations often sell out within hours of launch. We recommend shopping right at release time (9 PM CT on August 31).

Are items reserved when adding to cart?
No. Items are only reserved once checkout has been completed. Adding a product to your cart does not guarantee availability, so we recommend checking out promptly to secure your items.).

Can I edit orders once submitted?
No. Due to the influx of orders and limited availability, we are unable to modify orders once they are placed

Will Atlas Stationers be carrying the Junji Ito and Moomin collaborations?
No, both collections are not available to US retailers.

When will the One Piece collection be available?
These items are not part of the initial August 31st launch but are expected in early October.

Are all the items we carry concrete? (For example, will restocks occur or will additional items be made available outside of the current listing?)
The initial assortment is based on our confirmed order with Hobonichi. Additional items may be available on future restocks. Not all items will be available for restock, so we suggest placing your order early.

Am I able to buy the cover separate from a planner?
This year, Hobonichi is offering covers and books as a set. You can purchase books on their own, but all covers will come with a 2026 edition book.

Will there be a restock?
Restocks depend on Hobonichi’s availability. While some standard planners and accessories may be replenished, special or limited collaborations may only be available during the initial launch.

Are there additional tariffs for Hobonichi items?
No, there are no additional tariffs or fees for U.S. customers. For international customers, duties, taxes, and shipping costs are calculated at checkout and may vary by destination.

Can I preorder or sign up for restock notifications?
Yes, you can sign up to be notified when inventory is available. On our site, the 2026 products are currently labeled “Coming Soon”. Use the wishlist or back-in-stock notifications to be alerted when items become available.
