Subject: RE: educate me about shipping from alibaba?


Central, IA
I bought a few pallets of planter parts last winter on alibaba. Good experience overall. I purchased from a great seller that helped me work through the paper work details on importing. After his second email of questions, I realized I needed help. I found a local import broker that was excellent as well. I spent a week coordinating between the two of them and after a few weeks my parts arrived.

Mine quoted mine including freight to the closest port of entry 50 mi away and I picked it up there. I paid the local broker a couple hundred dollars, but he was very helpful and answered a lot of stupid questions on my part.

On issue you will want to watch out for is China literally shuts down for the Chinese New Year in late January. I had to rush to get it on the boat before that.
