Discarded packaging may not be recoverable after disposal.
Customers who want all supplier packaging retained must provide written instructions before repacking begins.
Recommended instruction:

Consolidation may include:

16. Free Storage Period
Each package receives:
30 calendar days of free warehouse storage
The free-storage period begins on the recorded warehouse arrival date of each individual package.
For example:
- A package received on August 1 remains within its free-storage period through August 30;
- A second package received on August 10 has its own 30-day free-storage period.
The free-storage period ends earlier if the package is:
- Returned;
- Collected;
- Delivered to a freight forwarder;
- Dispatched internationally;
- Otherwise released from the warehouse.
17. Storage After the Free Period
After the 30-day free-storage period, storage charges may apply.
The applicable storage rate will be:
- Stated in the quotation;
- Confirmed through WhatsApp or email;
- Provided before or when paid storage begins;
- Calculated according to package quantity, size, weight or storage duration.
Goods will not normally be released until outstanding warehouse, storage, packing and transportation charges have been paid.
Storage charges already incurred are non-refundable.
The final website should publish or separately quote the actual storage rate before charging customers.
18. Customer Delays
Customers are responsible for responding promptly to requests concerning:
- Package identification;
- Inspection confirmation;
- Supplier returns;
- Repacking instructions;
- Address confirmation;
- Freight-forwarder information;
- Shipping method;
- Customs documents;
- Outstanding payments.
Storage time continues while we wait for the customer’s instructions.
A customer’s delay or failure to respond does not extend the free-storage period.
19. Unclaimed Goods
Goods may be treated as unclaimed where the customer:
- Cannot be identified;
- Stops responding;
- Does not pay outstanding charges;
- Does not provide release instructions;
- Does not arrange shipping or collection;
- Leaves goods beyond the agreed storage period.
We may contact the customer through the available WhatsApp number, email address or other recorded channel and request instructions within a reasonable period.
If the customer continues to fail to act, we may, subject to applicable law:
- Continue charging storage fees;
- Return goods where possible;
- Transfer goods to another storage location;
- Arrange lawful disposal;
- Take other legally permitted steps.
Under the PRC Civil Code, late collection may result in additional storage charges, and where goods remain uncollected after reasonable notice, the warehouse keeper may use legally recognized handling mechanisms.
20. Perishable, Deteriorating or Unsafe Goods
Customers must disclose goods that are:
- Perishable;
- Temperature-sensitive;
- Time-sensitive;
- Chemically unstable;
- Leaking;
- Flammable;
- Corrosive;
- Hazardous;
- Likely to contaminate other goods.
If we discover that goods are deteriorating, damaged or creating a risk to other warehouse goods, we may:
- Notify the customer;
- Isolate the package;
- Request immediate instructions;
- Repack the goods;
- Return the goods;
- Move the goods to specialist storage;
- Arrange lawful disposal;
- Take other necessary emergency measures.
Where urgent action is required to protect staff, property or other customers’ goods, we may take reasonable action before receiving instructions and notify the customer afterward. This approach reflects the warehouse keeper’s notification and emergency-handling duties under the PRC Civil Code.
The customer is responsible for reasonable costs caused by undisclosed unsafe, leaking or deteriorating goods.
21. Prohibited and Restricted Goods

Acceptance of a parcel by a domestic courier or physical receipt at the warehouse does not mean that the contents have been approved.
Undeclared prohibited or restricted goods may be isolated, rejected, returned or lawfully disposed of.
22. Supplier Errors
We are not the seller or manufacturer of goods purchased by the customer.
We are not responsible for a supplier:
- Sending the wrong item;

- Sending used goods;
- Using misleading descriptions;
- Shipping late;

Where the customer requests a supplier return, the customer must provide:

The customer is responsible for:

- Telephone number;
- Customer code;

Our warehouse responsibility normally ends when the shipment is delivered to and accepted by the appointed freight forwarder.

- Warehouse-only services;
- Goods awaiting customer instructions;
- Goods sent through a customer-appointed freight forwarder after handover;
- Supplier-related damage;

- Undeclared prohibited or restricted goods.
Optional Commercial Cargo Insurance should be requested before dispatch for approved high-value shipments.
28. Warehouse Care and Responsibility
We will take reasonable care of customer goods while they are within our warehouse custody.
If goods are confirmed to have been lost or physically damaged because of our failure to exercise the required level of care, responsibility will be assessed according to:
- The circumstances;
- Available warehouse records;
- Product value evidence;
- Customer instructions;
- Applicable law;

We are not responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for damage caused by:

- Product leakage caused by defective product containers;
- Undisclosed fragility;
- Inadequate supplier packaging;
- Hidden defects;
- Pest or moisture sensitivity not disclosed to us;
- Customer-required packaging decisions;

We may update these Terms when:
- Warehouse procedures change;
- Storage arrangements change;
- Packaging services change;
