Parcel Forwarding Tips for Black Friday Orders
1. Potential Address Issues
If an error message occurs when you try to fill in our U.S. warehouse address, you can try to enter 13822, Northeast Airport Way in another format. If there is no space to add your Buyandship user ID to your name, or your address, please try to add it to the “Address Line 2”.
REMINDER:
It’s a MUST to add in your Buyandship user ID so we can identify your parcel.
2. Correct Use of Zip Code
Please note that the only and correct ZIP Code of our U.S. warehouse is 97251-9614. Alternatively, you can use 97251 if the shopping site only allows a 5-digit ZIP Code. Please do double check if your pre-filled delivery address on your customer account on shopping sites is up-to-date.
3. About Billing Address
If you want to use our warehouse address as the Billing Address for your order, please use your real name. In some cases, your transactions will be rejected when you use our warehouse address as the Billing Address. If it happens, please use your own and real local address as the Billing Address instead.
4. On-time Declaration & Check-in Time
Remember to declare your parcels once you have received the tracking no.! As long as you remember to declare the shipment on time and accurately (before your shipment arrives at the warehouse), our colleagues at the U.S. warehouse shall be able to handle your shipment as quickly as possible. Due to the high volume of orders during the entire December, the check-in time of your parcel may take longer than usual. Please be patient and contact our Customer service, in case your parcel hasn’t been checked in after a few days. If you haven’t declared your parcel before its arrival at the warehouse, the check-in time of your parcel will be delayed for 3-5 working days as priority will be given to those pre-declared parcels.
5. Shipment Size Restrictions
During the shopping season, please bear in mind the size of your parcel/shipment. Either side cannot exceed 100cm and the sum of all three(3) sides cannot exceed 150cm. The shipment will otherwise be rejected and cannot be transferred to Hong Kong and subsequently to Singapore.
6. Freight Calculation
Delivery fee of your shipment is based on the weight but not the size of your shipment. For every pound, you will be charged HK$22, this includes transit and home delivery fee. You can check out our Delivery Fee Calculator here.
7. Storage in Hong Kong Warehouse
Free storage of parcels arriving at our Hong Kong warehouse is 21 calendar days. The free storage period begins on the arrival date of parcels at our HK warehouse. An overdue fee will be charged for each parcel from 22nd day onwards. Any parcels which have been overdue over 30 days will be regarded as abandoned.
8. Get Your Items Quicker & Less Chance to Get Taxed
Since we are expecting a large number of shipments to arrive at our warehouses, the time required to process consolidations will be slightly longer than usual. Please bear with us and order your purchases sooner rather than later!
9. Customer Service Wait Times
We strive to provide world-class customer service and usually, we are able to answer your inquiries within 30 minutes, but due to all the messages and inquiries we will be getting during this peak sale period, please expect an average of 2-3 hours for an answer to your questions.
