Who Can Buy From Us, and From What Volume

No. You can buy as an individual.

On DDP shipments the freight forwarder acts as importer of record and handles customs. We don’t ask for VAT numbers, registration certificates or incorporation documents. You pay for the goods, they arrive at your door.

If you are a company and clear customs yourself, the second route is open too: we provide official Chinese export clearance with the full document set. Both work — you choose.

There is no minimum order value. The only rule is one factory carton per item.

We don’t break cartons and we don’t sell loose pieces. That keeps the factory packaging intact: goods reach you exactly as they left the production line, shelf-ready.

Mix as many models as you like within a shipment. Twenty different items, one carton each — that’s a valid order.

We don’t ship single-piece samples and we don’t open factory cartons. The minimum unit is one sealed carton — including for a test order.

The reason is simple. Open a carton of twenty-four cars to pull one sample out, and the remaining twenty-three become dead stock: the carton is no longer factory-sealed and cannot be sold as new. We are a wholesale platform integrated with factories, not a retail shop window, and the cost of that service would ultimately be paid by every other buyer.

What this means in practice. Your test order is one carton. That is a normal product-launch investment, and it gives you more than a single sample would: you check the plastic, the seams, the packaging and the blister, you shoot photos and video for your listing — and the rest of the carton ships to FBA with your main order and sells. A single sample never sells.

If the product page says “assorted” or “mix colors”, you receive a sealed factory mix.

You cannot pick a specific colour or character, and nobody can guarantee the exact split inside the carton. That is how line packing works: whatever comes down the belt goes into the box. Factories aim for an even split — twelve pieces as three colours of four — but it can arrive as five, four and three. No one in China recounts colours inside a sealed shipping carton, and we won’t promise on their behalf that they do.

Factor this into your listings. On a marketplace this is the difference between one listing and a listing with variations. The right move is either Variations or an honest “colour may vary” line. Sellers who discover this at unboxing lose a week rebuilding listings. You know before you order.

Single-colour items exist in the catalogue too — they simply carry no “assorted” tag. If one colour is essential to you, filter for those.

Yes, we will ship a single $20 carton. But this is where the arithmetic gets harsh, and we’d rather you saw it before you pay than after.

International freight is charged on weight and volume, not on the value of the goods. Ship fifteen kilos of low-cost plastic and the freight will cost several times the goods themselves. Your unit economics break, and the item becomes unsellable at your target price.

We allow it. We just want you to run the numbers first.

There are no cheap miracles in DDP logistics. Competitive door-to-door rates with customs clearance included start strictly at 100 kg — that condition is printed in every Chinese forwarder’s rate sheet. It isn’t ours and it cannot be argued around.

If your shipment weighs thirty kilos, one of two things happens: it is billed at a small-consignment rate, which can be two to three times the base rate, or it is simply rounded up to a hundred kilos. Either way you are paying for air.

Here is the number worth reading twice. One hundred kilos to Almaty at the lower rate is $84 for the entire shipment. Thirty kilos costs roughly the same. The freight difference is close to zero — and you get three times the goods.

That leaves three routes.

1. Ship as is. It leaves immediately, billed at the small-consignment rate. Sensible when you’re sending a test carton to Amazon and speed of validation matters more than margin.

2. Scale up. Add a few best-selling items and cross the 100 kg line. In most cases this is the right call: you’ve effectively already paid the freight, so the extra goods travel almost free.

3. Build the shipment at our warehouse. We give you 30 days of free consolidation at our warehouse in China. That is enough time to add the items you need — from us or from other suppliers — build an LCL consignment to an efficient weight, and ship it all at the proper rate. Thirty days is the market norm: our Guangzhou site is a transit hub, not a storage locker, and in Q4 that matters.

Our advice. Testing a niche — buy from one carton and accept the poor freight ratio; you’re paying for speed of validation, which is a legitimate cost. Buying for retail margin — aim for 100 kg. That is the threshold where real wholesale profit starts, and the only honest line between “trying it” and “making money on it.”
