Storage Policy
Free Storage Duration:
If no shipment is received or sent for 30 days, the account will enter storage status, and additional storage fees will be applied for each extra day.
Storage Cancellation:
If a new package arrives while your account is in storage status, storage fees for the past period will not be charged, and a new 30-day free period will begin.
Storage Notifications:
Notifications will be sent before exceeding the 30-day free storage period (7 days, 3 days, and 1 day before the deadline).
Storage Beyond 3 Months:
If your account remains in storage for more than 3 months without activity, all shipments in your box will be discarded. Please contact us within this period if you do not want your items to be discarded.
Shipment Preparation Policy
When you request shipment preparation, our specialized team will open your packages, consolidate them into one box, and pack them securely while minimizing the total weight.
