Gratebay · Consolidation & QC warehouse · Guangdong, China

Free storage. Full inspection.
Pay only when you're happy.

We receive your 1688, Taobao and Pinduoduo orders — or your direct factory shipments — at our China hub. Every item is inspected one by one and your orders leave as a single shipment. We handle nearly every general-cargo category from China — home & living, ceramics, lighting, textiles, hardware, outdoor and garden, furniture, oversized pieces. The only things we turn away are high-risk goods. You pay nothing until you've seen the photos and are ready to ship.

Gratebay consolidation warehouse with furniture and parcels on racks

How it works

You buy on any Chinese platform — or straight from the factory — and ship to our warehouse address. We handle everything after that, and you only pay after approving the inspection photos.

1

We receive & register

Your parcels are logged within 2 hours of arrival. You get a WhatsApp message with photos of the outer boxes. Free.

2

We inspect every item

1-on-1 inspection — never sampling. Full-resolution photos & video of every item, sent via WhatsApp or Google Drive. Free.

3

You review, then pay

Happy with the photos? Pay the shipping fee and we pack. Something wrong? We return it to the seller or handle disposal — your call.

4

We pack & ship

Multi-seller orders consolidated, extra packaging stripped to cut weight, oversized or fragile pieces crated in timber. Tracking shared immediately.

Everything except high-risk goods

We're a general-cargo consolidation warehouse. Whatever your supplier can deliver inside China — and your country will admit — moves through our dock the same way: received, inspected, stored, forwarded. Three groups decide how we handle it:

Best suited ✓

Home & living, furniture, ceramics & glassware, lighting, textiles, outdoor & garden, building materials, hardware & tools, sporting goods, pet supplies and packaging.

Accepted with care

Oversized or fragile pieces, plug-in lamps & appliances, original branded apparel, powders and magnetic items — assessed case by case, quoted from photos before we pack.

Not accepted ✕

Counterfeit goods, built-in batteries & power banks, food, supplements, cosmetics & liquids, e-cigarettes, medicine, plants & seeds.

Transparent pricing

No hidden fees. You pay the shipping fee only — after you've approved the inspection photos.

✅ Free, every shipment

Receiving & photo-logged registration within 2 hours, 60-day storage, 1-on-1 inspection with full-resolution photos, and consolidation of up to 10 parcels into one shipment.

🚢 Shipping at cost

Sea LCL billed per CBM, air by chargeable weight — quoted per route at the forwarder's rate, original invoice shown on request. No exchange-rate markups.

📦 Extras, quoted first

Only if you need them: wooden crating from ¥150/case, fragile-goods packing from ¥30/box, optional insurance ¥20/shipment — always confirmed with you before we build anything.
