Chako: Hey Log, I heard that Sagawa Express is going to limit package acceptance on the 4th! What does that mean?
Log: Yeah, it’s because of the year-end shopping rush, which increases the volume of packages, so they’re putting restrictions in place. However, express air and cool delivery services are exempt from this.
Chako: I see! What about people who need to send their packages urgently?
Navi: Generally, these kinds of restrictions are implemented to avoid congestion, so it’s recommended that users check the situation in advance and plan accordingly.

Especially at the end of the year, the volume of packages increases, so it’s crucial to check in advance. It’s important for everyone to plan their deliveries carefully and to act with a bit of leeway.
