Japan storage plan management FAQ

Can I extend, renew, pause, or cancel a luggage storage plan while I am outside Japan?

Yes. Customers can manage renewal, pause, and cancellation through the subscription account and ask Silk Crane about an extension or ending storage when they cannot return. A plan cannot remain paused while items occupy storage, so the belongings must first be delivered or removed; pausing can keep the account available for later reuse.

Can I change my Japan storage plan, and what happens if a renewal payment fails?

Ask for a plan change before the next renewal. Current guidance does not promise proration, partial-period refunds, or early-retrieval credits. If payment fails, Silk Crane contacts the customer to resolve the active account rather than treating stored belongings as automatically abandoned or disposable.

Can I add items to a Japan storage plan or transfer the plan and stored belongings to another person?

Additional items require an appropriate additional or revised storage package, with related repacking or shipping handled separately. A plan or stored-property transfer is not self-service and requires Silk Crane approval plus identity verification for the people and items involved.
