Generally good experience but the shipment was delayed by two days because of congestion at the transit hub. The team did communicate once the delay was confirmed, which is appreciated, but I had to ask for the initial update rather than receiving it proactively. Goods arrived in perfect condition and the DDP terms were honoured fully. Would use again for non-urgent orders.

No issues at all. The handling fee was clearly itemised in the invoice, which keeps our accounts team happy. Solid channel.

What is the best way to ship 10 KG from China to France?

For 10 KG, Air Freight is the recommended option. At this weight, air freight DDP offers the best combination of speed (5–10 business days) and cost. Sea freight minimum charges would make it uneconomical for shipments under 50 KG. Most air DDP channels accept shipments from 21 KG.

Can I track my shipment from China to France?

Yes — all shipments include tracking. Air freight shipments receive an airway bill number (AWB) for real-time airline tracking within 24 hours of departure. Sea freight shipments are trackable via the bill of lading number through the carrier's portal. We provide status updates at key milestones: departure, port of entry, customs clearance, and delivery.
