FAQ

FAQ — Shipping from China.

Fast answers on lead times, pricing drivers, DDP, and paperwork.

Shipping
Send us your origin (city), destination, cargo details (CBM/kg, cartons), and your preferred incoterm (EXW/FOB/DDP).

We reply within 24h with the best mode (sea/air/rail/express) + a clear breakdown (transport, customs options, door-to-door if needed).

Tip: If you don't know your incoterm, start with a quote — we'll recommend the best option.
It depends on urgency, volume, and budget:
  • Sea (LCL/FCL): best cost for bulk shipments
  • Air: fast for urgent/high-value cargo
  • Rail (China–Europe): good balance cost/speed for mid-weight cargo
  • Express (DHL/UPS/FedEx): samples, small cartons, easiest process
Start with a quote — we'll recommend the best mode based on your cargo.
Typical lead times (door-to-port / door-to-door can vary by customs):
  • Sea: ~25–45 days (depending on route + port congestion)
  • Rail (China–Europe): ~18–30 days
  • Air: ~5–10 days
  • Express: ~3–7 days
We confirm a realistic ETA based on your pickup city, route, and incoterm.
Yes. We support DDP/DAP/FOB/EXW depending on what you need.
DDP is door-to-door where duties/taxes are handled by the forwarder side (structure depends on destination).

If you're not sure, we'll recommend the best incoterm based on your shipment and delivery constraints.
LCL (Less than Container Load): you share container space — ideal for smaller volumes.

FCL (Full Container Load): you book the whole container — best for larger volumes and faster handling.

We recommend the most cost-effective option based on CBM, pickup complexity, and destination charges.
Most shipments need:
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
Sometimes: HS codes, certificates, MSDS (batteries/chemicals), compliance docs, etc.
We guide you on the required paperwork before dispatch to avoid clearance delays.
Yes. We coordinate pickup with your supplier(s), confirm carton count/weights, and arrange transport to our warehouse or port/airport.
If you have multiple suppliers, we can consolidate everything under one plan.
Rates move because of:
  • Fuel & capacity changes
  • Seasonal peaks (Q3/Q4)
  • Port congestion & carrier surcharges
  • Route changes and customs complexity
We quote transparently and recommend options to reduce total cost (consolidation, mode choice, better planning).
China Ops
Yes. We receive goods from multiple suppliers, check quantities, and consolidate them into one shipment (LCL or FCL-ready). This usually reduces total cost, improves CBM optimization, and avoids delays caused by different supplier timelines.
Yes. We can arrange QC inspections (AQL) before dispatch, with photo and video reports when needed. QC before shipping means fewer disputes, fewer returns, and fewer surprises at the destination.
Yes. We support receiving and storage (SKUs/cartons), pick and pack per order, labeling, packaging, marketplace preparation if needed, and global dispatch (express, air, or sea depending on workflow). If you run e-commerce, we can combine fulfillment and freight forwarding under one team.
Yes. We can help with supplier sourcing, verification, and factory checks when needed, which is especially useful before placing large orders. Many clients start with shipping and then add sourcing, QC, and warehouse services as volumes grow.
