Don't be a surprise !? Write the "product name" of your luggage correctly and write it correctly at 20:07 on October 5th.
With the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the volume of parcel delivery services is increasing, but did you know that if you do not write the "product name" correctly on the invoice, the delivery of your parcel may be delayed?
The other day, on SNS, such a post about the "product name" written on the invoice of the package became a hot topic.
"I don't want to write it because it's a surprise gift, but it's clothes."
Along with the post from the deliveryman who came to pick up the goods, "I was told that a'gift'is okay", the heartwarming episode evoked a response.
What kind of thought did you write such a "product name"?
According to Mr. Daru-chan, who posted the package, the person who gave the package was a senior woman at her former workplace who has been a friend for 10 years.
Both of them retired, but both "Daru-chan" and her seniors became moms, and they reported each other's child-rearing situation by message.
At that time, he learned that his seniors were worried about raising children.
It's difficult to meet in person and cheer up because of the corona sickness, so I thought of giving a surprise T-shirt that matches the parents and children of the popular anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba" that seniors and elementary school children love. ..
"Daru-chan" recalls, "I was excited about how parents and children would react when they opened it."
However, Mr. Daru-chan, who had work experience related to online sales, knew that the product name had to be written in detail.
For this reason, he wrote "clothes" while thinking "I really don't want to write".
By the way, the reaction of the senior parents and children who received the baggage full of thoughts was, "Seniors said,'I laughed a lot the moment I saw the invoice.' The child was overjoyed and slept with his T-shirt on. I'm glad I gave it to my seniors when they said, "I'm feeling better." "
As a result, it seems to be a "surprise" enough.
According to the shipping company, it is not enough to write only "gift" in the item name, it is necessary to write "clothing" as in this case.
However, it is not necessary to write, for example, "Anime T-shirt".
Is there a way to send a surprise gift without revealing the "product name"?
I asked the public relations of Japan Post and Yamato Transport, and the answer was, "There is no" trick ", please cooperate in entering the correct" product name "."
In the case of "Daru-chan", the delivery staff at the site may have tried to respond flexibly.
There is also a risk of delayed arrival of luggage
According to Japan Post, the volume of "Yu-Pack" handled from April to August has increased by 15% to 29% compared to the same period of the previous year.
It is analyzed that the background is the expansion of the use of online shopping due to "demand for nesting" and the increase in gifts for families living far away due to refraining from returning home.
When sending a courier, etc., the "product name" to be written on the invoice is required to be entered in the terms and conditions established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, in the case of dangerous goods and fragile luggage, it is required to fill in accurately because it may lead to accidents, etc., and each business operator also operates based on this and publishes it on the homepage etc. ..
Of these, Japan Post requires that you specifically enter "tableware" or "ballpoint pen" for miscellaneous goods, and "tent" or "sleeping bag" for camping equipment.
At the reception desks such as post offices and shipping companies, the person in charge asks you to check the "product name" each time and fill it in correctly if it is missing or ambiguous, but Japan Post handles luggage. As the amount increases, it seems that such confirmation work is also increasing at the site.
According to Japan Post and shipping companies, if the "product name" is not entered correctly, the arrival of the package may be delayed.
Especially when transporting luggage by air, you must make sure that there are no flammable materials in it.
If this is not possible, we will not be able to board the aircraft and we may not be able to deliver the package on the specified date and time, so we are calling attention.
Japan Post says, "I would like you to cooperate in filling in the correct" product name "so that you can deliver important gifts at the date and time you desire."
