Shipping from China — the boring parts we will not hide

We buy, then a freight forwarder in Huizhou or Shenzhen exports. There is no YueFetch warehouse with overnight labels. Freight depends on packed weight. Duties depend on your country.

Shipping & returns policy Get a freight-aware quote

Two payments is normal

Product (and service) first. International shipping after the carton is weighed. That is not a trick — volume changes the rate.

Time

After dispatch, door-to-door is often about 7–15 business days. Remote islands and peak season slip. We send tracking when the forwarder has it.

Duties

Your customs, your bill. We can share commercial paperwork. We will not promise “no tax” to win the order. Longer read: https://yuefetch.com/notes/customs-duties-buying-from-china-overseas.

What shipping really costs (US / UK / EU examples)

Freight is quoted after weigh-in, so exact numbers vary — but honest planning numbers: a 200–400g parcel (seal, cup, small ceramics) to the US is often in the $15–30 band, 1kg closer to $30–50. UK and EU sit in a similar range; remote areas and peak season add a few days and sometimes a few dollars. If a quote looks off, ask us to re-weigh.

Fragile goods travel fine — if packed honestly

We export fragile ceramics from Huizhou/Shenzhen every week. Bubble wrap plus a rigid carton is normal; the forwarder photographs the parcel when they can. Breakage in transit happens, which is why our refund policy has a 48-hour window for obvious transit damage and 20 days for quality issues — send photos and we assess fast.

Consolidate, don't split

Two small parcels usually cost more than one medium box. We can hold a week for a second item and ship together — say “consolidate” on the request and we will tell you the freight before you pay.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer free shipping?

On eligible catalog orders: every physical item must be light, the product subtotal must reach USD 199, and the destination must be the US, Canada, UK, Germany or Japan. Other orders get a freight quote after packed weigh-in. Import duties are always the buyer’s responsibility.

Can you ship to my freight forwarder in China?

Sometimes, if the address is a real warehouse we can reach. Say so on the request. Export from Huizhou/Shenzhen is the default for overseas buyers.

How long does shipping to the US actually take?

After dispatch, usually 7–15 business days to the US. Dispatch is 1–3 business days after payment. We email tracking when the forwarder hands the parcel over — we never invent a tracking number.

Who pays import duty and VAT?

You do. Destination customs is outside our control. We share commercial paperwork and will not promise “no tax” to win an order. Ask for the exact documents before you pay if you need them.

What if my parcel breaks in transit?

Report within 48 hours with photos. Quality issues have a 20-day window. If the fault is ours (packing/QC), we handle it fairly — often covering return shipping and refunding the item plus the outbound freight we charged.

Do you ship to PO boxes or island addresses?

PO boxes are usually fine for small parcels, but island and remote addresses can add days. Tell us the destination on the request and we will flag the realistic window before you pay.
