04 / FAQ

Before you ship,
get clear answers.

Eight practical answers on cargo acceptance, costs, payment, timing, delivery and claims.

SELECT A QUESTION FOR THE ANSWER

We can usually arrange shipping for general cargo. For less common products, please provide the HS code if available so we can check the shipping options and quote accurately. We do not yet have sufficient handling experience with dangerous goods or standalone batteries, so we are not accepting them for shipment.

Explore freight services

The quote uses the final packed piece count, gross weight, dimensions and stackability. Warehouse measurements, packing or route changes can affect chargeable weight, volume and cost. We explain the difference and revised option before asking you to confirm.

Understand cost factors

The starting point differs for ocean, air and door services, so check the basis stated in the quote. Cargo and documents must be ready before dispatch; express estimates generally start after carrier collection. Schedules, inspections and delivery appointments can affect arrival.

Read the timing guide

DDP places import clearance and applicable duties and taxes with the seller, but the service quote still needs to define what is included and excluded. Confirm how inspection, storage, remote or residential delivery, liftgate and special handling charges are treated before dispatch.

Review destination charges

Payment is required before dispatch. Once the shipping plan is confirmed, pay according to the written instructions for that shipment. We arrange dispatch after the payment is verified. The amount, currency and due date are stated in the quote and payment instructions.

Confirm payment with us

We can provide a Hong Kong USD receiving account. Use the written payment details for your shipment and check the payee name, account number, currency and amount before transferring funds. If account details change unexpectedly, verify them through a contact method already listed on our website. Send the transfer record and shipment reference to our team for reconciliation.

Verify payment details

Not necessarily. Share the postcode, address type, vehicle access, appointment needs, dock, liftgate, forklift and unloading contact. Unloading, carry-in, upstairs delivery and installation must be agreed separately and written into the plan.

Review delivery responsibilities

Full cargo value is not an automatic payout. Before dispatch, confirm whether insurance is arranged, the declared value, coverage, deductible, exclusions and claim documents. Damage is assessed under the carriage terms, policy and evidence.
