China shipping questions
How do I measure CBM?
Multiply length × width × height of each carton in metres. A 60 × 50 × 40 cm carton is 0.6 × 0.5 × 0.4 = 0.12 CBM. Most suppliers list CBM on the packing list.
Can I ship from several suppliers at once?
Yes. We hold packages at our Guangzhou warehouse until your order is complete, then ship them together. 4 free storage days.
Is customs clearance included?
Yes our rates are inclusive of all customs duties and taxes.
What can’t be shipped from China by air?
Loose lithium batteries, power banks, liquids, powders, magnets and flammables usually need sea freight or special handling. Check your item or send us your product list before you buy.
Do you pay suppliers for me?
Yes we can pay supplier on your behalf upon request.
