This is Jenny from Guangzhou .Nice to meet you .If you dont buy much goods ,you can use express .If the weight is more than 100 KGS , you can use airfreight .If you buy more goods and you dont need the goods urgently ,you can use sea shipping .
For the goods ,you mention they are from different places ,that is doesnt matter ,you can get all goods together and then shipping together to your place .

Hi, Janoo,

We suggest you to organize to buy these goods from the city who is close to each other (if best, pls choose within one province in China) then you can combine the goods into one 20 or 40 feet container. Or even it is still bulk goods, if you ship to combine into one shipment, it will help to save your cost.

Therefore, pls remember to study Chinese ports city location firstly before you buy the goods.Secondly, pls remember to choose a good forwarder who will organize your goods and provide good service and shipping rate to you.Of course, the most importance is to find good quality supplier since goods quality are most important and good shipping choice can help you to get the lowest cost from biz view.

Enjoy!

Yours sincerely,

Hi,GUEST10673,

1-If you buy from Yiwu and guangzhou, then you can ask your suppliers to deliver goods to guangzhou and ship together. Or you can ship from Yiwu and guangzhou separately on base big qty. If qty is small, pls just ship from one place.

2- We have to say part of market booth is open for Feb 10th but since our common new year holiday will be till Feb 13th.So pls try to postponse your schedule or you can do some sightseeing and visit after Feb 14th which is more better since many people start to work then you have more suppliers candidate.

Btw, if you can, we will suggest you to choose end of Feb or Mar to purchase . Since the transportation and tickets are very hot, it is not easy to travel.

Yours sincerely,
Susan Zheng
