Quality control
Checked before
you pay the balance
Most problems with China orders are found too late. We check the factory before you order and the goods before they ship.
Factory audits
Before you order, we visit the factory and check registration, production lines, capacity and past work.
01Pre-shipment inspection
Before the goods leave, we check the quantity, workmanship, function, packaging and labels against your approved sample.
02Photo & video reports
You receive photos and video of what we found, so you can approve or ask for fixes before paying the balance.
03Shipping & logistics
Sea, air or rail,
door to port
We arrange freight with partner forwarders and quote it with your order. Transit times below are typical ranges and vary by route and season.
About 15 to 45 days
Sea freight
The best value for large or heavy orders, in a full container (FCL) or a shared one (LCL).
About 3 to 10 days
Air freight
For samples and urgent or valuable goods. Faster, and priced by weight.
About 15 to 25 days to Europe
Rail freight
Rail to Europe and Central Asia is faster than sea and cheaper than air.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Each factory sets its own, and it depends on the product. Stock products can start at a few hundred units, while custom products often need a thousand or more. We include the MOQ in every quote, and look for factories that accept smaller first orders where we can.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. We collect samples from shortlisted factories, check them, and send them to you for approval. Sample and courier costs are quoted upfront.
How do payments work?
Payment terms are agreed per order and confirmed in writing. Factories usually ask for a deposit before production and the balance before shipment. We recommend paying the balance only after the inspection report.
How long does an order take?
A first order usually takes two to four months from first contact to delivery. That's about one to two weeks to find suppliers, one to three weeks for samples, three to six weeks of production, then shipping, which takes about 3 to 10 days by air or 15 to 45 days by sea. Your quote includes a timeline for your product.
Who pays for shipping?
It depends on the Incoterm you choose. With FOB you pay for the freight from China. With CIF and DDP it's included in the price. We'll help you compare the options.
What happens if goods are faulty?
Our pre-shipment inspection is designed to catch problems before goods leave the factory, when the factory can still fix them. If an issue is found, we share photos and agree fixes with the factory before shipment.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship worldwide with partner forwarders, including to the USA, the UK, the EU, the Middle East, Australia and Southeast Asia. Tell us your destination port or address and we'll confirm the options and costs.
