Pricing & Fee Explanation

Understand how buying fees, sourcing fees, payment platform fees, shipping, inspection and third-party costs are calculated before execution.

Fee principle

We do not position the service only by the lowest visible price.

Our pricing is based on service scope, product risk, supplier complexity, order value, inspection needs and shipment handling. Before paid execution begins, we confirm the scope, service fee, product cost, third-party cost and buyer approval in writing.

Starting references only, not all-inclusive package prices.
Final quote depends on scope. Minimum service fee does not include product cost, China domestic shipping, international shipping, payment/platform fees, warehouse handling, inspection, storage, packaging, return or third-party costs.

Total payable = Product cost + Service fee + China domestic shipping + International shipping + Payment/platform fees + Third-party costsThird-party costs may include warehouse handling, packaging, inspection, storage, return, customs-related charges, forwarder fees or payout/withdrawal fees.

Shipping Forwarding

Forwarding handling, consolidation, packaging, storage and international shipping are calculated separately.

Payment and platform fees

The amount you pay may not equal the amount we receive.

Payment processors may deduct transaction fees, international card fees, currency conversion fees, payout fees, withdrawal fees or dispute fees. These are third-party costs, not hidden service profit.

If the buyer pays through card, PayPal, Stripe, international transfer or another payment method, platform fees and currency conversion costs may apply. These costs should be disclosed or estimated before execution when possible.
If you request a refund, the original payment processor may not return its processing fee. Return shipping, warehouse handling, supplier return fees or currency loss may also apply.
Important Fee Notice: Not every amount paid by the buyer is our service income. Product costs, supplier charges, payment processor deductions, shipping fees, warehouse costs, inspection fees, customs-related charges, taxes, duties and other third-party costs may be non-refundable unless the relevant third party actually refunds them to us.
