Packing and shipping your order

Packing and shipping are the last steps, but they are best decided at the start — they affect your cost, your dates and how the garments arrive.

Packing

Tell us how each garment should be packed:

  • folded or on a hanger
  • in an individual bag or not
  • with your labels, hangtags and stickers
  • how many pieces per carton, and how cartons should be marked

If you sell online, say so — single-piece packing for e-commerce is different from packing for a shop.

Shipping options

Garments usually leave Guangzhou by express courier, air freight or sea freight. Express is fastest and suits small orders; sea freight is slowest and suits large volumes. The right choice depends on the size of the order, your date and your budget.

What to tell us early

  • the destination and the delivery address
  • your preferred shipping method, or your forwarder’s contact
  • any import paperwork your country requires

Timing

Shipping time comes on top of the 20–25 days of bulk production. Plan it from your delivery date backwards — see How long an order takes.

Questions

Can you use my own labels, hangtags and bags?

Yes. Send them or tell us what you need, and we plan them into the order.

Which countries do you ship to?

We ship to brands in Asia and further afield. Tell us the destination when you ask for a quote.

Who arranges the shipping?

Tell us how you prefer to ship. We can hand over to your forwarder or arrange the shipment with you.
