Send a photo. Find out what it costs from China. Then decide if it is worth it.
This is the individual-buyer side of the desk. Send a screenshot, a link or a photo of anything you are thinking of buying and we will quote a delivered price. One item is fine. You compare it with the price you were given locally and decide whether the difference is worth it.

Why small parcels work so well

Roughly 5–12 days for most destinations on small-package air express, tracked end to end.
No container required
Below about 100 kg, a courier parcel usually beats sea freight on total cost once clearance and handling are counted.
Duty often does not apply
Many countries exempt low-value shipments from duty, though the thresholds and the VAT rules differ and change. We tell you what applies to your shipment and country rather than assuming.
One item, one parcel
Single-unit orders are normal here, not an exception we tolerate.

Five short steps, no account, and you can upload drawings, photos or a sample datasheet.
