We accept orders by either fax or email from companies who intend to wholesale or retail our products on a regular basis.
What quantities should be ordered?
A 40' container can accommodate about US$ 13,000 - 15,000 worth of merchandise depending upon the size and quantities of each item ordered. An order should be some more for a 40 ft. container, allowing us flexibility in filling your current order with items ready in time for shipment. Ordered items, not loaded in current container will be put on a back-order for next container, unless you indicate otherwise.
After the container is loaded, we will fax you the back-order (ordered items which were not loaded), together with the commercial invoice.
Due to the divergent shapes and sizes of our merchandise, container loads cannot be calculated in cubic meters.
What information should be supplied with an order?
To process an order we need:
The Item Numbers
Total amount of pieces to be ordered for each Item Number
Fabric choices (when applicable)
Also we need these shipping details:
Consignee's full name and Street address (in addition to P.O. Box number if any)
Phone and fax numbers
Notify Party. (usually same as Consignee)
Port of Discharge.
Place of Delivery.
What happens, after I've placed an order?
Once your order has been received, an order confirmation (Pro Forma Invoice) will be faxed back to you within 1 to 2 working days (please be sure to keep your faxmachine on!). Carefully check your order and add, delete or change items ordered, directly onto the P.F. Invoice. You should then confirm your order by signing the P.F. Invoice and return it to us via fax. If no changes are made to your order, fax back only the last signed page of the Invoice
Any additional requirements? Yes. A 50 % of order amount deposit is required for each container to be shipped out, this deposit covers costs in case of cancellation or redirection once the container ships and is on the water.
Deposits should be wired to our bank as directed on the P.F. Invoice.
After both the signed P.F. Invoice fax and a fax of the bank wire are received by us, the order is accepted and will be processed.
Can I order without paying the deposit?
Unfortunately no, experience compels us to require this deposit on all orders.
Production time for a single container order after order acceptance is between 6-8 weeks at this moment.
Multiple container orders will be shipped according schedule, (1/week, 1/month, or else) as long as we receive the whole order far ahead, preferable 6 weeks or more.
Once a container order is processed and packed, the order must be shipped.
We'll take care of ordering an empty container, stuffing, fumigation, trucking to the seaport, and the required documents.
Which shipping line should be used?
This depends on destination and connection. We may advice about a shipping line and costs of ocean freight.
Reliable shipping lines may also be nominated by consignee, this is often done when consignee has an agreement with a certain shipping line.
Who pays for the ocean freight?
As our terms are F.O.B. (Free On Board), ocean freight is consignee's care.
(ocean freight collect)
How about other costs?
At destination there may be some other costs, like T.H.C. (Terminal Handling Costs), custom clearance, taxes, trucking to place of delivery etc.
Since these costs are different for each destination, we can not advice about such costs. Your local freight forwarder or custom broker can inform you.
How about insurance?
Insuring a container will only cover damage, caused by transport between port of origin and place of delivery. Damages, not caused by transport, will not be covered by an insurance.
Insurance should be taken at destination, while in case of transport damage, an insurance expert needs to make a report about the damage.
Insurance can be taken after stuffing of your container.
After stuffing, we'll fax you the commercial invoice, informing about the loaded amount, shipping line, container and seal number.
For quotations for insurance you may consult your local freight forwarder.
If a copy of the B/L (Bill Of Lading) is required, we can only fax this, after the container is laden on board, while the B/L will only be issued after the container is laden on board.
How about documents?
Standard a set of documents contains:
Invoice
Packing List
Bill Of Lading
Certificate of Origin
Certificate of Fumigation
Certain countries require some other documents or statements from shipper. If so, we will take care of this.
Can I trace my container, once on the water?
Yes, most bigger shipping lines have a trace system on their internet homepage.
On the invoice, faxed to you after stuffing, is the name of the shipping line. (APL, Maerks, or so)
The homepage of the shipping line can easily be found through search engines. At the homepage something like "trace" can be clicked, typing the container number will show the current position of your container. (only after it's shipped)
