DAMAGED GOODS / MISSING ITEMS

The Sakura Shipping Team makes every effort to protect products from being damaged during shipping.  We quality inspect each item and package before shipping. We would never knowingly ship a defective or damaged item. On rare occasions, packages and / or merchandise may be damaged by the carrier service during the delivery process.

If there appears to be shipping damage, you need to do the following:

  • Carefully inspect all received merchandise for damage or missing items.
  • If merchandise is damaged, contact our Customer Service Department to inform us of the incident.
  • If merchandise is missing, first check your invoice for notations about items being sold out or discontinued at the time of shipping.
  • If merchandise is missing due to carrier mishandling, contact our Customer Service Department to inform us of the incident.
  • Do not discard any cartons or packaging materials. The carrier may wish to inspect them.
  • Wait for a prompt E-Mail response with further instructions from our Customer Service Department.
  • Please do NOT return the merchandise unless instructed to do so by our Customer Service Department.
  • Please do NOT use expedited services to return merchandise. Sakura will not reimburse for expedited return shipping.

Attention: We are not responsible for carrier mishandling of packages. If your package was shipped via UPS, insurance is automatic and we will file a claim on any merchandise damaged and / or missing from the package upon delivery. Package insurance is not automatic with USPS. If you did not specify that you wanted your package insured at the time of checkout a claim cannot be filed.

Please Note: Vendor policies for handling defective merchandise supersede Sakura’s policy.
