Shipping is by wood crate for less then container loads, ie. less then a 20ft. container load. Call
for a quote by the cubic meter to your destination. Otherwise we ship by 20 or 40ft. container. Call
for a quote to your destination. We leave from the ports of Ningbo or Shanghai. Shipments by sea
normally take 3-4 weeks to arrive after order is completed.
Total charges in China per 20ft. container for all fumigation, shipping, insurance, paperwork,
processing etc. is 600usd. 40ft/700usd/container. See partial shipments for charges on small
shipments. (We have a 800usd minimum order!!)
Each shipment includes an id number on each individual piece of furniture, a corresponding excel
write-up of each piece including age, wood, characteristics, etc., a jpeg of the piece and all the
shipping paperwork including packing list and invoice, certificates of origin, fumigation certificates,
and bills of lading etc. (for Europe we supply 'authenticity' certificates). All pieces are wrapped and
marked with id. no. on the outside. For partial shipments wood crates are necessary for shipping,
see 'partial shipments'.
After goods are sent we express mail all pertinent documents to shipping address given by buyer.
Shipping is either to a main port or city. (Sometimes we can arrange delivery to a private address).
If you haven't imported before we suggest you check in the Yellow Pages for 'Custom House
Brokers' to do your import paper work (prices vary so shop around), and 'Freight Forwarders' to help
with any other shipping needs you may have. Often a good Custom House Broker can arrange follow
up shipping if it is needed.
Like many things, the paperwork and shipping is quite simple "once" you've done it.
For a custom house broker shop around. Quite
similar to booking a plane ticket. Charges for the
same work range from 80usd/shipment to 300usd/shipment. Make sure you like your broker and
that they don't charge more then 150usd/shipment.
We have our own shipping agent,
could provide competitive shipping prices and timely
shipping
time to main ports or cities worldwide.
