Shipping Mode

Choosing the right shipping mode for your orders is crucial. It’s important to consider at least three different factors, before selecting. The appropriate shipping mode can save you cost, time, and potential troubles.

Your timeframe: Do you need the goods urgently?
Your budget: What is the maximum amount you are willing to spend on shipping?
Your experience: Have you handled import processes before?

We offer the following three shipping modes: By Sea, By Air, and By Courier for your comparison. (In case our client is not much sure, based on our years of experience, we will recommend the most suitable shipping mode to our clients. This helps them save time, money, and avoid potential issues, based on their specific orders)
