One list across suppliers
Keep supplier names, order references and expected carton counts together.
YOUR SERVICE, IN DETAIL
From your request to the next step.
One plan, multiple suppliers
Before domestic dispatch, coordinate your order list and supplier details to obtain receiving instructions and a shipment reference. Unannounced or unlabelled goods may be difficult to match to your order.
Receive, reconcile and prepare
Agree the scope of receiving records, carton counting, photos, storage and packing in advance. Counting cartons is different from inspecting every item inside.
- Record supplier, order reference and expected cartons
- Reconcile arrivals against the order list
- Decide how to handle late orders before release
- Confirm final weight and dimensions after packing
Costs to clarify
There is no minimum order spend, and no storage or handling fees. Agree the required storage duration, materials, pallets or crates and release conditions in the service agreement. Consolidation does not always reduce freight: dimensional weight and final packing also matter.
When should you request a consolidation review?
If purchases are spread across suppliers, send one order register for a shared receiving review. For a single ready package, provide that package’s details for a freight review. Where transport conditions are unclear, obtain acceptance before sending goods to the receiving point. There are no storage or handling fees; establish storage duration, packing materials and repacking scope for the order.
Questions before you approve the service
What does my supplier need before dispatching goods within China?
Obtain receiving instructions for the actual order before domestic dispatch. Link the order, supplier, package marks, expected package count and China waybill references. Do not treat a company's legal address as its cargo receiving address. If a supplier splits an order across parcels or dispatches, update the register so arrivals can be reconciled.
Should I wait for a late supplier or dispatch ready goods separately?
Record each order's actual status and the destination need-by date. Request comparable wait-for-all and split-dispatch options. Compare potentially repeated charges, packing, documents and storage conditions. Before release, specify in writing which package references may leave and which must stay. Separate dispatch requires confirmation for the actual cargo.
Does counting cartons include checking the quality of every item?
Carton counting, exterior photos, variant checks and technical testing have different scopes. Agree which packages may be opened, how many items to examine, acceptance criteria and the required report before work starts. Exterior photos or package counts do not verify every carton's contents or the quality of the entire production run. Specialist testing needs separate review and agreement.
What needs reconfirming after repacking?
Update package counts, marks, gross weights and final external dimensions, retaining links from new packages to original orders and packages. Use the same final version for the packing list and quotation details. Before release, confirm who updates the documents and how changed weight or volume affects the offer. Retain the previous version as superseded.
