How long will I be able to keep my items in JCS warehouse for free?

You may store your items for free for up to 30 days.
Every day at 7pm, our system will check your items and charge you 50 JPY per day for each item that has already exceeded in 30 days (every 24 hours after the item arrives at our warehouse counts as one day).
This extension storage fee is applied 30 days after the items are physically present in our warehouse. For example, if you asked us to ship an item on the 30th day, the warehouse storage fee will still apply until you pay for the international shipping of the items.
