The Arrival Weight is the weight of your items when they arrive at the warehouse. It includes the weight of the box or bag that the Japanese seller used to ship your items and any additional reinforcement materials. Consolidated Weight refers to the total weight of your orders after consolidation. There may be variations compared to the sum of the weights of each sub-order.
During consolidation, we remove unnecessary shipping boxes or excessive reinforcement materials from the seller's end, resulting in a decrease in total weight.
However, if the seller chooses to use a bag for shipping, we may include a shipping box to en- hance the safety of the item during international shipping. In that case, the package's weight could increase after consolidation.
Q: Are there any limitations for consolidating orders?
A:
Order consolidation has no limit on the number of sub-orders. However, please note that our shipping partners have restrictions on the package value or dimensions. We recommend checking these limitations before requesting order consolidation. If your packages do not meet the shipping requirements, we will inform you and revert the package status. You can then choose an alternative shipping method that works for you.
Q: What items are restricted from being purchased and shipped by Doorzo?
A: Please note that Doorzo cannot purchase items that are internationally prohibited or restricted for import/export. To avoid any inconvenience, please ensure that the items you intend to purchase are not included in Doorzo's list of prohibited items before placing an order.
For details on prohibited items, please refer to [Account] - [Usage Instructions] - [Prohibited Items].
If you attempt to ship any prohibited items that are subsequently returned by the shipping carrier or local customs, you will be responsible for all associated expenses.
Q: What international shipping options does Doorzo offer, and what is the estimated delivery time?
A: Doorzo offers various shipping methods, including Japan Post (EMS, registered small packets, air- mail, surface) and DHL. The delivery speed and cost may vary depending on your chosen ship- ping method. For more details and assistance in choosing the best shipping method, please refer to our International Shipping page.
Q: How does Doorzo calculate the international shipping fee?
A: Once your items have arrived at our warehouse, you can proceed to make payment for international shipping. The shipping fee is determined based on the package's weight and the chosen shipping method. To get an estimate of the shipping fee, please use our shipping calculator. It's important to note that additional costs, such as optional service fees and related fees (usually free), may exist. There may also be a domestic shipping cost in Japan for specific items, which is applicable upon their arrival at our warehouse and will need to be paid separately.
Q: Can I change the delivery information after paying for international shipping?
A: After paying the international shipping fee, our warehouse team will create a shipping label using the information you provided during payment.
Please note that it is not possible to modify any of the shipping details, such as the recipient's name, address, phone number, and other relevant information, once the fee has been paid. We advise that you double-check all details before proceeding with the international shipping payment.
Q: After I pay the international shipping fee, when can I expect the package to be shipped?
A: After you have successfully paid the shipping fee, our warehouse staff will begin processing your package. We ship orders in the order shipping payments are received. Typically, EMS shipments will ship within 1-3 business days after payment, while other packages take 3-5 business days. Once your package has been dispatched, you will receive an email notification.
Please note that shipping status updates from the post office may experience delays. If you are unable to track the shipping status immediately after your package has been shipped, we recommend checking back later.
Q: If I discover damages upon receiving the package, what is the proper procedure for me to follow?
A: If your package arrives damaged, it's crucial to contact our customer service team within 5 days of receipt. Our team will assist you in filing for compensation with the shipping company.
Required documentation:
1. Photos of the opened package and damaged items or a complete unboxing video.
2. Keep the original state of the package intact, including the shipping label, packaging, and cushioning materials.
3. Contact the shipping carrier to obtain proof of loss or damage.
It's important not to dispose of any relevant documents while our after-sales department handles the issue. This will help prevent complications and ensure a smooth process for seeking reimbursement.
Please note that, given the unique nature of international shipping, we are unable to process return, exchange, or compensation requests for issues related to external packaging, such as compression, deformation, damage, or contamination. For further details, please refer to [Account] - [Usage Instructions] - [International Shipping].
Q: If customs duties are charged on my items, what steps should I take, and what is the payment procedure?
A: The timing and probability of being taxed vary depending on the chosen shipping method. For specific information, please refer to the detailed information provided for each shipping method.
