SHIPMENT PREPARATION
Cost factors
Ask the team to identify included charges, excluded charges and the point where delivery responsibility ends.
Packing & transport separately
Confirm labour, materials and storage separately from outbound freight. Consolidation can change packed dimensions; compare the final transport quote after remeasurement.
Handover responsibilities
Supplier → receiving record
Use the confirmed Guangzhou address and arrival reference. Reconcile expected and received goods, damage / shortage observations and items to hold with the team.
Approved list → outbound transport
Approve the items to combine, packing work and release list. Keep held items separate. Confirm outbound documents, final measurements and any Edinburgh receiving service.
Cargo acceptance review
Share the exact product, material / use and packing details. Batteries, liquids, powders, magnets, food, cosmetics and wood packaging need service-specific review; a product category alone does not confirm acceptance.

Supplier receiving and release instructions
What should each supplier include with a Guangzhou delivery?
Confirm the receiving address and reference with us first. Share the supplier order, domestic tracking number, expected cartons and product units, together with the requested handling.
Can some goods be held while others are sent onward?
Identify the items and quantities to hold or release, the destination and your timing requirements. We will confirm the handling plan and release list before dispatch.
What if the received quantity differs from my list?
We record the agreed receiving checks and review differences against your expected list. Confirm the next action for affected goods before release; detailed product inspection needs a separately agreed scope.
