1) How can the products be sent to us?

International shipping

For small quantity or weight less than 50 kgs, sent usually by courier.

For orders from 50 to 300-500 kgs, can be sent by air to the airport near you.

For big quantity or volume, sent usually by ocean container.

2) How do I save on shipping?

Due to the high price of international shipping, we suggest our customers to buy everything they want in one order. That way, the per-item shipping cost could be minimized.

For Overstock Products (such as shoes stocks, caps stocks, luggage stocks), we suggest you import at least 1x20ft containter.

For middle orders, if you can wait a little longer, please choose shipping by sea (LCL), it will be much cheaper than shipping by air.

For small orders, if you can wait a little longer, please choose the standard shipping method, it will be much cheaper than using express shipping (but it usually takes long time to arrive many countries).
