In Japan, nobody buys one can of coffee. Drinks come home by the case β a box of BOSS for the office, a slab of Ramune for summer, green tea stacked neatly by the fridge. It's simply the smarter way to buy, and with our carton corner, Stash by the Box, it's now the smarter way to buy Japanese drinks in Australia too. Every carton ships from our Melbourne warehouse, Australia-wide.
Why buy Japanese drinks by the carton?
Three reasons. First, price: carton pricing in Stash by the Box runs about 5% under single-can pricing, so the saving is built in before you even think about shipping. Second, you'll actually have it when you want it β no sad empty fridge on a Friday night. Third, and this is the one most people miss: shipping maths.
The shipping maths (this is the good bit)
Shipping is weight-based, and every parcel starts with a base cost β so two small orders always cost more to ship than one big one. Stack a carton (or two) into a single order and the shipping cost per can drops fast.
Better still, our checkout now compares live rates from CouriersPlease, Aramex and Australia Post for your address β and big, heavy boxes are exactly where couriers do their best work. You just pick whichever option looks best. If you've been hesitant about carton shipping costs, add one to your cart and check the live quote for your postcode β it's often much friendlier than expected.
What's worth buying by the box
Ramune β Japan's marble soda
The clink of the glass marble is the sound of a Japanese summer festival. A carton of Ramune disappears frighteningly fast at kids' parties β original, melon, strawberry and more.
BOSS Coffee β the salaryman's fuel
Japan's iconic canned coffee, ready to drink hot or cold. A box of BOSS Coffee in the office kitchen makes you extremely popular. See the wider Japanese coffee range too.
Japanese green tea & more
Unsweetened green tea by the case is the true Japanese household staple β browse Japanese tea for bottled sencha and barley tea. And for something creamier, Calpis β Japan's yoghurt-style soft drink β is a carton favourite.
Soft drinks & juice
Melon cream soda, Japan-only fizzy flavours and Kagome's famous fruit-and-veg juice blends: raid Japanese soft drinks and Japanese juice, or explore the full drinks range and Japan-exclusive finds.
Who cartons are for
Offices (be the hero of the break room), party hosts, families of ramune-obsessed kids, share houses splitting a box, and anyone who has ever finished their last BOSS on a Monday morning. If that's you, Stash by the Box is your aisle.
