The shipping was odd for me. I only picked DHL because that's what's used when I buy from Kurasu Kyoto. Excellent shipping experience. From Standout, not so much and I don't know why. Purchasing was easy, however, I'm never a fan of receiving a shipping notification before anything is actually shipped. I received the notification about 48-72h before actual shipping. The coffee however was sublime and helped make up for the shipping quirks. However, the shipping quirks give me pause to try again.
