FAQ
Dropshipping from China: your questions
Can you ship directly to my end customers?
It depends on the product, the destination and the supplier. We review the options with you, such as direct shipping from the supplier or storage in our warehouses, and compare their costs and delivery times.
Do you work with small volumes?
Volumes and minimum orders depend on each supplier and product. We help you find suppliers whose conditions fit your stage and negotiate them.
How do you help me avoid unreliable suppliers?
By checking suppliers before you start, ordering and testing samples, and, where useful, organising inspections. We stay available to handle issues when they arise.
