💡

Logistics suggestions:Express delivery is chosen for the first proofing, eliminating the need to wait for a few weeks for the entire container, and customs clearance is the fastest; small purchases (less than 50 pieces) are transported by air to take into account speed and cost; the entire line of equipment adheres to the FCL for shipping the entire container-this is the only way to dilute the cost of a single unit. The only way; EU customers can give priority to evaluating railways, and medium-weight orders are the best cost-effective.

Tracking

Cargo tracking: From the time of order to the port, you can see the entire process

There are many links in the transportation of heavy equipment, and we will synchronize the key nodes to you at each step to avoid the anxiety of "the money has been paid and the goods do not know where they are."

① Confirmation form and order number

Within 24 hours after payment is received, you will receive a confirmation document containing the contract order number, and the logistics progress will start counting from then on.

② Synchronized workshop progress

Assembly and testing videos (WhatsApp or email) are pushed weekly for the entire line/batch order, and each device can be checked by name.

③ Packing and shipping

Packing photos and container lists will be sent one by one before the goods leave the factory; the bill of lading number, container number and tracking link will be sent to you immediately for archives after the cargo is allocated.

④ In-transit monitoring

Express delivery goes through the DHL/FedEx/UPS official website portal; sea transportation is bound to the ship AIS based on the bill of lading for real-time positioning, and the voyage can be checked at any time.

④ Reminder for customs clearance at the port of arrival

When the goods arrive at the port of destination and enter the customs clearance process, the local agent or our logistics will proactively notify your business contact.

FAQ

Freight and Logistics Frequently Asked Questions

askMy factory is in an inland city, not near the main port. Can I deliver it?
The vast majority can. Our export network covers 50+ countries, and regional freight forwarders can plan door-to-door routes from LCL sea or air freight to inland. Please provide a complete shipping address (including city and zip code), and the logistics team will provide a feasible plan and quotation.
askCan I buy more without shipping?
B2B equipment transportation is charged based on actual weight and volume, and there is no "free shipping" gimmick in the quotation. However, for bulk orders such as entire cabinets and entire lines (generally more than 20 units), we will reduce the shipping unit price through the carrier contract. Please confirm the bulk freight discount with the sales department.
askWhat should I do if I find that the wooden box is damaged and the machine shell is damaged when arriving?
Transportation insurance is insured for bulk shipments. Please take photos of the damage immediately before signing for the carrier's document and notify the logistics manager within 48 hours-we are responsible for submitting the claim and arranging for replacement of parts or complete machines. Most transportation disputes are resolved within 7 - 10 working days. Do not sign the "good receipt" without taking a photo to retain the certificate.
askI have my own domestic freight forwarder. Can I pick up goods from the warehouse?
Yes. Support the FOB / EXW clause-You provide the freight forwarding company's office phone number and warehouse information, and we will deliver the equipment to its domestic distribution center as agreed, and cooperate with the completion of packaging handover and document transfer.
askCan the equipment be moved directly into my workshop?
Express delivery services (DHL/FedEx, etc.) are delivered to commercial receiving areas; standard air and sea delivery to airports/terminals requires local customs clearance and inland transportation. If you need the DDP all-inclusive service of "delivery after duty paid, door-to-door into the workshop", please contact sales to obtain a customized additional quote.
askHow to lock in accurate shipping charges before placing an order?
You can provide three pieces of information: ① machine model and quantity;② delivery address (including city, postal code, whether it is a commercial address);③ Expected timeliness (express delivery/air/sea freight). Sales will issue a complete quote including freight and CIF within 12 hours.
