Cash on Delivery Service

China Cash on Delivery Service

Don’t spend more than you need to

Better Safe Than Sorry

Establishing trust with a supplier can take some time. Unless this Chinese supplier was recommended to you, we advocate being cautious, especially with your payments.

Quick, Good & Fast

We created the Cash on Delivery (COD) service to enable you to easily purchase samples or small lots of goods.

It significantly reduces your risk of goods theft or substandard goods. It also provides savings if multiple payments need to be made to the same supplier or small amounts need to be paid to multiple suppliers.

The 360° Sourcing Process

*The services mentioned above are part of the 360° Sourcing Process, not of the Cash on Delivery Service.

Benefits of the COD Service

We only pay your suppliers after we have received and checked the goods at our premises, thereby ensuring that :

Goods are actually delivered, eliminating fraud suppliers who disappear after collecting payments.

Goods are checked before the payment is made to the courier delivery person.

(Please note detailed product inspection for complex products such as technology products is not possible through this service. Please use our Pre-Shipment Inspection service for this purpose).

You can send us the payment to multiple suppliers as one single payment, thereby incurring bank transfer charges only once.

Savings on Courier/Freight Charges through goods consolidation: If you receive several small shipments from multiple suppliers, you can pay as much as 300% more. By sending the goods as one lot, the fixed element of the freight cost is only paid once.

Many Chinese suppliers cannot accept “convenient” forms of payments such as Paypal. We accept these forms of payments for your upmost convenience.

Our Process

You finalize the order with all your suppliers and agree to COD as the payment term using our address as the shipping address.

Once you know the total value of goods, you pay us this amount

We coordinate with your supplier & pay them after goods arrive at our address and perform basic quality control with you

We consolidate all of your goods as one package/shipment and get the best quote using our “high volume courier accounts” with shipping agents

We prepare all necessary documentation for exports (Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading/Airway Bill, Invoices, Packing Lists, etc.) & ship your goods out.

Please note that Cash on Delivery is now offered as part of our “Consolidation Service”.

For more details about this service, please contact us with details of your requirements & nature of goods.
