Shipping & payment terms
Plain terms, published before you ask — because a buyer who knows the landed cost decides faster.
Trade terms
| FOB | Shenzhen or Yiwu. Our default. You control freight and often get better rates with your own forwarder. |
|---|---|
| CIF / CFR | We book ocean freight to your port. Useful when you are new to China sourcing. |
| DDP | Door delivery with duties prepaid, sea or air. Best for trial orders under a full pallet. |
| Air / express | For samples and urgent replenishment. 4–7 days door to door. |

Ask for a landed-cost model. Tell us your port and quantity and we will build the sheet: unit price + freight + duty at your HS code + your margin at target retail. That is usually the number that decides the order.
