How It Works

From a product link on any China marketplace to a delivery at your door in Uganda — here's exactly what happens at every stage, and what it costs.

The Process

Six steps, start to finish

Every order — big or small — moves through the same six stages, tracked from China to your door.

01
Order Placed

Send us the product link

Found something on 1688, Alibaba, AliExpress or Made-in-China? Paste the link, or send us a screenshot and description on WhatsApp. No account or Chinese payment method needed on your end.

  • Works with single items or bulk/wholesale orders
  • We can also source a product for you if you don't have a link

Verified & Quoted

We verify the supplier & quote you

We confirm the supplier is legitimate, check stock and price, and send you one landed cost — product, our service fee, and estimated freight — before you commit to anything.

  • No hidden costs added after you've paid
  • Typical quote turnaround: under 24 hours

Payment

You approve & pay locally

Once you approve the quote, you pay us in Uganda shillings — mobile money or bank transfer. We then pay the supplier in China directly, so you never need Alipay, WeChat Pay or a Chinese bank account.

Inspection & Warehousing

We inspect & hold your goods

Your order arrives at our China warehouse, where we check quantity and quality against what was ordered, then hold it until you're ready to ship — alone or combined with other orders.

Consolidation & Freight

We consolidate & ship

Where it makes sense, we combine your order with others heading to Uganda into one shipment, then send it by air (faster) or sea (more economical), whichever fits your timeline and budget.

Clearance & Delivery

Customs cleared, delivered to you

We handle URA documentation and clearance on arrival, then deliver door-to-door — to your home, shop or office anywhere in Uganda.

Common Questions

About the process

Is there a minimum order size?

No minimum for individual items sent by air. For sea freight, it's most cost-effective above roughly 100kg — we'll advise on the best method for your order size.

What payment methods do you accept?

Mobile money and bank transfer within Uganda. You never need to pay the supplier in China directly.

Can I track my order?

Yes — you'll get updates at each stage: payment confirmed, warehoused, shipped, and out for delivery.

What if the product arrives damaged or wrong?

Goods are inspected at our China warehouse before shipping. If something is wrong at that stage, we resolve it with the supplier before it ever leaves China.

Can you source a product if I don't have a link?

Yes. Describe what you need — with photos or specs if you have them — and we'll find and quote suppliers for you.
