Buy from China
without buying
a whole container.
We gather stock from dozens of Chinese factories into one container, clear it through customs, pay the duty, and deliver it to your door. You buy the space you need — fifty pieces a line, not sixty-eight cubic metres.
Quoted in writing, per item, with the freight, the duty and the delivery shown separately. If it does not add up, you will see it before you pay.
Two things stop most people, and neither is the price.
The factory will sell to you. The problem is everything after the factory — the minimum order that assumes you have a warehouse, and the customs entry that assumes you have a broker.
The minimum order is a whole container
A 40HQ holds about 68 cubic metres. One shop, one product line, one season — none of those fill it. So the factory quotes you a price for a volume you cannot use, and the real cost per unit never comes down.
Clearance lands on you at the wharf
Goods arrive, and suddenly you are the importer of record: finding a broker, paying duty and tax, booking a truck, and discovering the storage charge only after it has started running.
You buy a share of a container. We do the rest of the chain.
One container, many buyers, one set of paperwork. Your goods never sit next to another buyer's on the manifest, and your name never appears on the loading list.
Source and inspect
We buy from the factory directly and check the goods before they leave. Photos and a count, every line.
Consolidate and lash
Your cartons are collected, wrapped, lashed and sealed into the container with everyone else's.
Clear and pay the duty
We are the importer on the entry. Duty, tax and clearance are ours to handle, and the paperwork comes to you.
Deliver
From the port to your address, booked and tracked. You get the delivery window before it arrives.
One number at the door, and a line for every part of it.
"Landed" is a word people use loosely. Here is exactly what we mean by it, and what sits outside it — written down before you order, not after.
| Item | Who handles it | In the price |
|---|---|---|
| Goods at the factory gate | Us | Yes |
| Inland haulage to the port | Us | Yes |
| Ocean freight | Us | Yes |
| Marine insurance | Us | Yes |
| Import duty and taxes | Us, as importer of record | Yes |
| Customs clearance and port charges | Us | Yes |
| Delivery from port to your address | Us | Yes |
| Storage beyond the free window | You, if you delay delivery | No |
| Goods we cannot legally import | — | Not quoted |
| Installation or assembly on site | Your trades | No |
Quoted DDP by default — duty paid, delivered. If your business prefers to clear in its own name, we quote CIF or FOB instead. Payment is 30% to book the space, the balance before the vessel sails. No letter of credit required, and no charge for changing your mind before the container is sealed.
A weekly service to five Australian ports. Everywhere else, quoted per sailing.
We publish transit times only where we run a weekly service and can stand behind the number. For any other destination we quote the port, the sailing and the days in writing, per booking.
Twenty-odd categories, one container.
If it is made in a Chinese factory at a price that leaves room for freight, duty and your margin, it belongs on this list. Below is where most of the volume sits.
Pet supplies
Harnesses, beds, feeders, grooming, toys.
Home and storage
Shelving, boxes, kitchen storage, laundry.
Tools and hardware
Hand tools, fasteners, workshop consumables.
Outdoor and garden
Planters, shade, furniture covers, lighting.
Kitchen and table
Cookware, small appliances, glassware.
Seasonal
Festive, summer stock, back-to-school.
Fifty pieces a line. Four price breaks. No container to fill.
The minimum is per item, not per order. Mix as many lines as you like — the container is already going, and you are taking the space you need in it.
50 pieces per item
Low enough for a first order and a test of the market. If a line needs a higher minimum from the factory, we tell you before quoting rather than after.
Unit price falls as quantity climbs
Four tiers per item, shown on every product. The tier you qualify for depends on the total quantity on that line, not on the size of your whole order.
Six stages, and you can see every one of them.
Space booked, container loaded, vessel sailed, cleared, warehoused, delivered. Each stage sends you a message — you never have to ask where your goods are.
Booked
Your lines are confirmed against a sailing.
Loaded
Cartons counted, lashed, container sealed.
Sailed
Vessel departs with your goods on board.
Cleared
Entry lodged, duty and tax paid by us.
Warehoused
Unloaded and checked against the manifest.
Delivered
Booked to your address with a window.
The things people ask before their first container.
Short answers here. If yours is not on the list, ask it directly — a straight "no" is more useful to you than a long maybe.
Do I need an import licence or a customs account?
No. We act as the importer of record and the entry is lodged under our name. You receive the clearance paperwork for your own records and for your accountant.
Who pays the duty and the taxes?
We do, and it is already inside the price you were quoted. There is no second invoice when the container arrives, and no surprise at the wharf.
Can I mix suppliers in one order?
Yes — that is the point. Lines from different factories are collected, consolidated and shipped together. You are not required to buy a whole category or a whole container.
What happens if goods arrive damaged?
Every line is photographed and counted before loading and again at unloading. If something is damaged in transit, the claim is ours to run against the carrier, and the evidence is the two sets of photos. Report it within seven days of delivery.
Can I see the goods before they ship?
Yes. We send photos and counts at inspection, and you can book a third-party inspection at the factory at your own cost. We would rather you check than hope.
What if my product cannot legally be imported?
We check before quoting. Restricted categories, standards marks and labelling rules differ by country, and the answer sometimes is "not this product". You will hear that before you pay, not at the border.
Tell us what you need.
We will quote it landed.
Send the product, the quantity and the destination. You get the itemised landed cost, the sailing we would use, and an honest opinion on whether the numbers work.
