Yamato Transport: Official SMS Senders & Numbers - Is That SMS Genuine?

Officially states it does not send SMS

Do they send SMS? (Official statements)

Yamato Transport officially states that it does not send delivery-absence notices or delivery schedule notifications by SMS.

Officially published senders

No official sender (number or display name) list is published.

Yamato does not send such SMS notifications, so no official SMS sender list is published.

Conversely, a message showing a listed name or number is NOT necessarily genuine: SMS sender displays can be spoofed. The safest approach is to avoid links in the message and check directly via the official app or a bookmarked official website.

Key points from official statements

The official notice states Yamato never sends notifications such as absence notices or delivery schedules by email or SMS.
Official emails use the @kuronekoyamato.co.jp domain, but Yamato warns that spoofed messages imitating this domain also exist, so the address alone is not proof.
Check parcel status via the official tracking system (toi.kuronekoyamato.co.jp), not via links in messages.

How to use this list correctly (disclaimer)

A sender not on this list is NOT necessarily a scam. Companies may add or change senders without notice, and legitimate SMS may arrive from numbers or names that are not officially published.
