Payment methods

You pay the shipping fee only after you've seen the inspection photos and approved them.

🏦 Bank transfer (T/T)

Wire to our company account. Best for larger sea-freight shipments; bank details shared with your first quote.

🅿 PayPal

Good for smaller parcels and first test orders. Buyer protection on your side; small processing fee may apply.

💸 Western Union

Fast cash transfer where bank wires are inconvenient. Send to our registered details, share the MTCN, done.

No Chinese bank account or Alipay needed for any of them. Receiving, storage, inspection and standard packing are always free.

Fair-use boundaries

Written down so there are no surprises — these keep the free services sustainable for everyone.

📦 Storage

Free for 60 days from first arrival. After that ¥1/item/day (small) or ¥3/day/pallet (furniture). Goods unclaimed after 180 days are treated as abandoned per our claims policy.

⏳ Unpaid hold limit

Up to 5 shipments may wait on hold per new customer before the first payment — after that, settle before sending more.

↩ Returns

First 3 seller returns per month are free of service charge; domestic courier cost is passed through at actual price.
