CHOOSE YOUR PARCEL PLAN

Start with the delivery you need

For China to the UK, UK to China or UK domestic parcels, tell us what matters most: urgency, regular tracking or a planned consolidation.

01

Priority parcels

Share the required arrival date for urgent samples, documents or replacement parts. We review the route, cargo acceptance and available delivery commitment before you approve the option.

02

Regular tracked parcels

For recurring orders and routine parcels, agree the dispatch schedule, recipient details and delivery evidence needed. Check the selected service’s tracking coverage and delivery conditions.

03

Economy & consolidated parcels

For flexible dispatch dates or several supplier arrivals, plan the consolidation cutoff and packaging together. Review the available parcel or postal option after the final weight and dimensions are confirmed.

Prepare one clear parcel brief

Send the direction, piece count, final packed weight and dimensions, destination postcode, goods description and declared value. Include the cargo-ready date and required arrival date as separate dates, plus any batteries, liquids or special handling.

Order and tracking records. Keep the order or shipment reference linked to each parcel, its delivery tracking number and any return reference. A created label means the shipment details are prepared; physical handover to the carrier is confirmed separately.

How your service is quoted

Transport and handling, storage and fulfilment, packaging and returns are itemised for the services you choose. Recurring operations can be scoped together; API implementation and ongoing support have their own agreed deliverables. Your quotation sets out charging units, included work, additional charges and payment terms.

Start with the service your business needs

Share your products, shipping direction and order or stock volumes. Our team will put together the relevant service scope, quotation and handover arrangements.

    On Demand Delivery shows recipient preferences; available options and notification channels depend on the country.

  • UPS · UK

    Label Created records electronic information; carrier receipt and the recipient’s collection are separate events.

Before you send a parcel

A few details help us confirm the right China–UK parcel plan.

What do you need for an express quote?

Send the collection location and destination postcode, goods description and value, piece count, final packed dimensions and gross weight of each piece, and cargo-ready date. If packing is provisional, tell us so we can review the quote after final measurements.

Can I request delivery by a particular date?

Yes. Share your required arrival date and when the goods will be ready. We review the available service, departure and delivery scope with you. Your requested date becomes a commitment only when the team explicitly confirms the applicable terms.

Can several suppliers send goods for one dispatch?

We can plan supplier receiving and consolidation in Guangzhou. Before suppliers send anything, agree the receiving address, arrival reference, expected items and packing instructions with us. We reconcile arrivals and confirm the final packed measurements and release list before dispatch.

Can I change the address or cancel after approval?

Contact us immediately with your order or shipment reference and the requested change. The team must check the current preparation and carrier handover status before confirming what can be done and any extra cost. Treat the original instruction as active until we confirm the change.
