Shipping from China Guide for Wholesale Buyers

Shipping planning should begin when you request a wholesale quotation. Product quantity, carton size, destination and delivery terms all influence the final cost and timing.

Choose the right method

Express delivery may suit samples or small urgent shipments. Air freight can balance speed and volume, while sea freight is often considered for larger orders. The best option depends on your deadline and budget.

Share complete destination details

Provide the destination country, city, postal code and whether the shipment is going to a business or residential address. This helps make the quote more useful.

Confirm the trade terms

Ask whether the quotation is based on EXW, FOB, DDP or another agreed term. If DDP is offered, confirm exactly which duties and delivery charges are included.

Allow time for production and transit

Stock preparation, custom production, inspection, booking and transit are separate stages. Request a written estimate for each stage before payment.

Send your product list, quantity and destination to receive a shipping option matched to your order.
