Shipping & payment

How your order travels, what it travels on, and how it is paid for. We ship worldwide from China and quote freight per shipment rather than listing it on the product page — there are four ways to move your goods, and the right one depends on how much you are buying and how fast you need it.

Freight is confirmed in your quote, together with the trade term (DAP or DDP). Nothing is charged before you approve the proforma invoice.

Four ways to ship

Transit times below are indicative door-to-door ranges for planning. Your exact figure depends on destination, volume and the sailing or flight you book.

01

Sea freight

Full container (FCL) or shared container (LCL)

The cheapest way to move volume. You book a whole container (FCL) or share space with other cargo (LCL). Almost every destination is reachable, and it is the default for a first big order or a full restock.

Best for
Full containers and large volumes
Transit
Indicative 25–45 days door to door
02

Rail freight

China–Europe block trains

Block trains run from China into Central Asia and Europe. Priced between sea and air, and typically a good deal quicker than sea on the same lane. Useful when a full container is too slow but air is too expensive.

Best for
Container volumes, faster than sea
Transit
Indicative 18–30 days door to door
03

Air freight

Airport to airport, or door to door

The fast option for larger shipments. Because air is charged on chargeable weight (actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is greater), it suits urgent cargo that is too big for a courier but cannot wait for a container.

Best for
Urgent cargo, including bulky or heavy items
Transit
Indicative 7–15 days door to door
04

Express courier

Door to door, tracked

Parcel networks and cross-border e-commerce lines. Best for a small shop topping up a fast-selling line, sending samples, or testing a product before committing to volume. Tracked end to end.

Best for
Small urgent restocks
Transit
Indicative 3–10 days door to door

Which one should you pick?

Three questions cover almost every order we quote. If yours is unusual, say so in the enquiry and we will suggest the cheapest option that still meets your date.

You are buying a full container, or a large volume

Sea or rail

The lowest cost per unit. Sea reaches almost everywhere; rail runs on the China–Europe lanes and lands quicker than sea for a similar price bracket.

Your goods are urgent, and bulky or heavy

Air freight

Too big for a courier, too slow by container. Air is charged on chargeable weight, so it is the practical fast lane for larger urgent shipments.

You run a small shop and need a fast restock

Express courier

Tracked door to door, no container to fill. Ideal for topping up a fast-selling line, sending samples, or testing a product before you commit to volume.

Carriers behind your shipment

We are a wholesaler, not a shipping line — we book space through partner freight forwarders, who carry your goods on the networks below. Names are listed so you can see what your shipment is likely to travel on, not to imply a direct account with every one of them.

Trade terms, freight and payment

The commercial side, once you have decided how the goods travel.

Trade terms

Some destinations must clear under DAP. We confirm which applies before invoicing.

TermWhat it means for you
DAP We deliver to your address; you handle import clearance and duties
DDP We deliver with duties paid; availability depends on destination country

Freight is quoted, not listed

Product pages show the unit price only. Freight depends on total volume, weight, destination and trade term, so it is quoted once you submit quantities and an address. That is why there is no freight figure on the product page itself.

Order flow

  1. You submit an enquiry with quantities and a delivery address
  2. We confirm stock and quote freight for the whole shipment
  3. We issue a proforma invoice — goods + freight as one total
  4. You pay by T/T against that invoice
  5. We consolidate, pack and hand over to the forwarder

Payment

T/T against proforma invoice. No online card payment, and we never request payment details at the enquiry stage. Nothing is charged before you approve the invoice.

Not sure which way to send it?

Send your list with quantities and a delivery address. We will come back with stock, the freight figure for the whole shipment, and which of the four options gets it there for the least money — or the fastest, if the date matters more.
