FAQ

Q: How long does it take for express goods to be put into storage after they arrive at the warehouse?

A: After the domestic logistics shows that the goods have been delivered, the warehouse still needs to do the warehousing operation for each shipment. The reference time for warehousing is as follows:

1. During non-peak hours, goods are generally put into storage on the same day they arrive at the warehouse;

2. During the peak period of receiving goods (usually Monday to Wednesday), there will be some delays;

3. The warehouse does not receive goods on Saturdays and Sundays. Goods must be put into storage on weekdays after arrival.

Remark:

If there is any abnormality with the goods, the warehouse will generally send a notification email to your company's main account email. It is recommended that you check the email in time for targeted processing.

Q: What should I do if there is a difference between the budget and the actual cost after arrival at the warehouse?

The main reasons for the difference between the budget and the actual cost after arrival are as follows:

1. The price in "Budget Cost" is the estimated price for general goods. This freight does not include the domestic freight from your shipment to the warehouse, remote area surcharges, over-length and overweight charges and other surcharges.

The actual cost will be calculated after the goods are put into storage.

If you use EMS to ship, when any side of the package exceeds 60cm, if the volume weight (length cm*width cm*height cm/6000) is greater than the gross weight, it will be charged according to the volume weight.

2. During inland transportation, the goods may be deformed. When they are put into storage, they are measured according to the longest part of each surface, which causes the size to become larger when they are put into storage.

It is recommended to use regular cartons of good quality to prevent serious deformation during domestic transportation.
