Providing pictures of the goods can let us know more clearly what kind of goods it is and the state of the goods, and recommend you a more suitable packaging for transportation.
3.does the goods with battery or Liquird?
If the goods contain batteries, powders or liquids, normal air transport requires a lot of documents, which are difficult for sellers to provide, or because the goods are too small, the cost of providing documents is too high, and it is not worth providing. Therefore, for air transport, we usually ship to Hong Kong first, and then to your country. Such goods are usually considered sensitive goods during air transport, and the transportation cost is usually a little more expensive than goods without batteries, powders or liquids.
4.The goods weight & volume(the box size)

5.where is the goods now & when can send?
China is a large country. If you need us to pick up the goods, we need you to tell us the seller's detailed address before we can quote the pickup fee. If you tell us when the goods can be shipped, we can roughly tell you whether the transportation cost will change. There are off-seasons and peak seasons for transportation. The transportation cost will increase during the peak season. It may also be affected by unstable factors such as politics and regional wars, and the price will increase.
6.what kind of transportation you need?
Depending on the time of transportation, the transportation method is different. Air transportation is the fastest, but the price is also the most expensive. Small goods can only be transported by air or land. Sea transportation is the slowest and the price is also cheaper. It depends on your requirements for the timeliness of the goods. You tell us which transportation method you want to use, and we will quote you the price of that transportation method, or we will quote you all the prices. It's up to you to decide.
※It should be noted that some factories need to use their own export documents for customs declaration. Some of them export for tax refunds, some because you pay US dollars to their company accounts, or buy goods through Alibaba's platform. They need to provide documents after the export customs declaration is returned to get the money. Such exports will definitely incur additional costs, such as China's customs clearance fees and bill of lading fees, and transportation costs may also increase. Some sellers will tell you, but some will not notify you until the shipment, or you can ask the seller to contact us to confirm whether they need it to reduce unnecessary trouble. If this problem can be completely solved, we can pay RMB to the seller on his behalf, and we can transfer it to his bank account, WeChat, Alipay and other accounts. Because they receive RMB, there is no need for export customs declaration.
