Is it possible to send non-local items?

Yes, currently this dedicated account is only open for local delivery services.
If the sender accidentally hands over a package meant for overseas delivery to an SF Express courier, and it has already been dispatched to an overseas destination, the corresponding courier fee will be calculated according to the Hong Kong Export International Parcel Rate table published on the SF Express official website. This will be in compliance with SF Express's relevant terms and conditions for consignment.

Is the express service for one-way delivery only?

Yes, the current delivery service is charged for one-way service. An additional fee of HKD 10 will be charged per shipment for return service after signing, applicable to documents weighing 0.5 kg or less.

Are there additional fees for delivery to remote and island areas?

Yes, there are additional fees for delivery to remote and island areas, following the existing contract terms. Standard receiving and/or door-to-door delivery will be adjusted according to SF Hong Kong's policy.

How to prepare your parcel for shipping?

Yes, when sending, we ask customers to use appropriate packaging materials to protect the items themselves, ensuring secure and proper packaging.
The packaging method can be referred to at:

  • For what constitutes appropriate packaging, we will defer to the judgment of SF Express staff on-site.
  • For packaging guidelines, please refer to SF Express's packaging guide: https://shorturl.at/gjsGX

Appropriate packaging is essential to prevent damage or loss of items during transportation, as well as to guard against issues such as moisture and deterioration caused by placement, friction, vibration, air pressure, and temperature changes. It also contributes to the safety of operating personnel, preventing contamination of transportation equipment, ground facilities, and other items. Packaging should not only be suitable for the nature, condition, and weight of the items but also maintain cleanliness and dryness without any odors or stains. The external surface should not have protruding nails, hooks, or sharp objects to facilitate handling, loading, unloading, and stacking.

Here are some packaging suggestions:

  • Items that can be directly placed in shipping bags: Non-fragile items (such as clothes, stuffed animals, paper goods, etc.).
  • Items that need simple cushioning packaging: Non-fragile items with simple outer packaging (such as electronics, stationery, toys, etc.).
  • Items that need proper packaging: Fragile, easily damaged, or valuable items (such as glass, liquids, canned goods, watches, ceramics, etc.).

Regardless of whether the shipper has notified Kerry Express of the above items, Kerry Express is not responsible for any loss, damage, or consequences arising from delays in transportation of the above items.
