How We Ship Your Goods — 8-Step Process
Step 1 — Order Confirmation & Pickup Scheduling
Once your supplier confirms the order is ready, we schedule cargo pickup from the factory or Chinese warehouse. Our logistics team coordinates directly with your supplier.
Step 2 — Factory Pickup in China
Our local transport partner picks up the goods from the supplier's facility and transports them to the departure port/airport or our consolidation warehouse.
Step 3 — Export Documentation
We prepare and process all required Chinese export documents — Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading/Airway Bill, and Certificate of Origin.
Step 4 — Cargo Consolidation (If Applicable)
Buying from multiple suppliers? We receive all goods at our China warehouse, consolidate them into a single optimized shipment, and repack if needed.
Step 5 — Freight Booking & Departure
We book cargo space with our carrier partners (airlines, shipping lines, rail operators) and ensure your goods depart on schedule. You receive booking confirmation and estimated arrival date.
Step 6 — In-Transit Tracking
You get a unique tracking number and can monitor your shipment in real-time. Our team provides proactive updates — you don't need to ask.

SECTION 7 — FAQ
What's the cheapest way to ship from China to India?
Sea freight (FCL) is the cheapest per kilogram. For smaller shipments, LCL is cost-effective. We can provide a comparative quote for all modes based on your specific shipment details.
How do I track my shipment?
We provide a tracking number and regular updates via WhatsApp/email. For air freight and express, you get real-time online tracking. For sea freight, we update you at key milestones (departure, transshipment, arrival, customs clearance, delivery).
What if my goods are damaged during shipping?
We strongly recommend cargo insurance (typically 0.5–1% of shipment value). If insured goods are damaged, we assist with the insurance claim process. Our careful packaging and consolidation also minimizes damage risk.
Can you ship dangerous goods or hazardous materials?
Yes, we handle DG (Dangerous Goods) shipments with proper MSDS documentation and specialized packaging. Additional charges and regulations apply.
