What the official guidance actually says
Items receive 90 free days; unpaid parcels have a separate 30-day clock
The warehouse-period page starts each item’s 90 free days when its status becomes Stored and lists a 30-day paid extension for 10 CNY. After a parcel is submitted but before freight is paid, a separate 30-day free parcel-storage period applies. These are different clocks.
Official warehouse storage periodOfficial help pages show two rehearsal price formats
Shopping Guidance describes rehearsal as a 20 CNY pre-pack service, while the Value Added Services table displays 3 USD per parcel. Both explain that the warehouse packs and weighs before one-time freight payment. Treat the live checkout price as controlling.
Official shopping and value-added guidanceSome routes bill the higher of two weights
Actual weight includes the goods and packing materials. Volumetric weight is length × width × height divided by the carrier's route-specific divisor. Official examples use 5000, 6000, 7000 or 8000, so a single universal formula is unsafe.
Official weight guidanceRoute availability depends on the actual parcel
The system screens shipping lines based on product restrictions, destination and parcel characteristics. Official weighing tables show that thresholds and divisors vary by route, so last year's route comparison should not be reused as a current quote.
Official route standardsInsurance coverage depends on the selected route
Joyagoo describes coverage categories for customs seizure and parcel loss or damage. Whether insurance is supported—and what is compensated—depends on the country, route and current compensation standard. Never assume every visible route carries the same protection.
Official insurance guidelinesCustoms, tax and declaration risk remains with the recipient
Official guidance warns that special goods may face returns, fines or taxes and says the recipient is responsible for these risks. System Declaration may be selected automatically, but buyers should review the current route and destination rules before submission.
Official customs guidanceTracking can lag during international transfers
After dispatch, tracking appears in the account's Parcel area. The platform notes that international shipments often pass through multiple transfers, so scan events—especially for small packets—may update late without proving that a parcel is lost.
