This change does not affect package delivery, as shipping carriers can still deliver the package without this information. If you have already entered "Orto Yokohama / Oruto Yokohama" in the seller's website, you do not need to edit it.

📦

Our new warehouse does not have a big freight service elevator like our current warehouse. If you purchase a large or heavy item, please contact us in advance. We will need to arrange the preparation for international shipping and delivery through a third-party packing company, and you will be required to ship directly to them first.

If a large package that we cannot accommodate arrives, we will not be able to receive it in our warehouse.

Maximum package dimensions we can receive in our new warehouse:

Width: 60 cm

Height: 150 cm

Weight: 60 kg

Please note that Amazon packages are not included in this forwarding service. If an Amazon package is sent to our old warehouse after April 22, it will either be returned to Amazon or left in an incorrect location by Amazon staff, which could result in the package being lost.

For any additional questions, feel free to reach out to help@blackship.com.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to welcoming you to our new and improved warehouse!

Best regards,

The Blackship Team

The strike by Canada Post's postal workers ended on Tuesday, December 17 (local time), as confirmed by Canada Post. Japan Post has also announced that international mail shipments to Canada resumed yesterday, Wednesday, December 18.

However, Canada Post has indicated that significant delivery delays are expected as they work through the backlog of mail accumulated during the strike.

Additionally, please be aware that backlogs often increase the risk of missing or misplaced packages during processing.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We have an important update regarding our storage fees at Blackship.

, we will update our storage fees based on package size. Here’s a quick look at the new fees in US dollars:

Please note that all packages will still enjoy 45 days of free storage. If your account is set up with a foreign currency, fees will be converted accordingly.

For customers using Two-Step Checkout (Pack & Hold), be aware that once your package is marked "Ready to Ship," you will have 7 days to complete your shipping request. After 7 days, your ready-to-ship package will accrue storage fees based on the daily rate.

Finally, these new shipping fees will not be discounted based on your Blackship Reward Plan level.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We're implementing these changes because we're running out of space in our distribution center. While we search for a new location, this update is necessary to ensure smooth operations. Later in the year, we intend to reduce these storage fees once we've relocated to a larger distribution center.
