Ecommerce Fulfillment from China
Skip building inventory locally. Store products near suppliers, quality-check before shipping, integrate with Shopify, and fulfill customer orders worldwide from one Shenzhen warehouse.
When Fulfillment from China Makes Sense
Best For:
- ✓ Products made in China or nearby suppliers
- ✓ Stores shipping to multiple countries
- ✓ Sellers testing products before full-scale import
- ✓ Brands needing custom packaging or inserts
- ✓ Shopify/WooCommerce sellers wanting automated fulfillment
- ✓ Amazon sellers seeking Chinese warehouse option
- ✓ Dropshipping stores wanting quality control
May Not Fit If:
- ✗ Products are made locally (use domestic 3PL instead)
- ✗ Customers require same-day or next-day delivery
- ✗ Product is heavily regulated (needs local importer)
- ✗ You ship only domestically (extra shipping cost)
- ✗ Very high return rate (returns logistics complex)
- ✗ Less than 20 orders per week (not cost-effective)

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does fulfillment from China take?
Sourcing to first customer shipment typically takes 3-4 weeks. Order placement to customer delivery depends on shipping method: economy (7-16 days) or express (3-10 days). Total timeline from product idea to fulfilled customer is usually 4-6 weeks.
Can I integrate with my Shopify store?
Yes. Orders sync automatically from Shopify to our warehouse system. Your customers receive tracking in Shopify and email, and inventory counts update in real-time. No manual order entry needed.
What happens if I need to return products?
We handle quality issues and lost shipments through our 3PL partner. Customer returns are more complex because shipping back to China is expensive. We recommend setting up local return addresses in major markets and coordinating refunds with us.
Can I store multiple products in the same warehouse?
Yes. Many sellers store 5-15 different products in our warehouse. We track each by SKU, manage variants, and fulfill mixed orders (different products in one shipment) if needed.
What if I only ship domestically (not internationally)?
China fulfillment is less cost-effective if you ship only domestically because you're adding an international step. A domestic 3PL would be better. However, if you're importing stock anyway, we can still handle the intake and prep before shipping domestically.
