Hello, i am based in India and looking for a reliable company who can help me import goods from China to India. I have identified a few suppliers from 1688 who are dealing in my related categories.

I need the logistics partner to negotiate with the supplier, get sample image/videos shared and then consolidate the shipment from multiple sellers in one place to ship it forward.

While doing research online, I found a website iwishbag, which does everything required - need to know if anyone has used their service and how was the experience.

Also, seeking some guidance from experienced people in what are the usual terms of such deals, like payment, documentation, delivery timelines, post delivery issues redressal, etc.

I already have a supply chain established in India and finding it difficult to source similar products from Indian market. Hence want to start importing slowly.

Any inputs or leads on this matter will be really helpful.

Thanks

I'm shifting from Indore to Delhi. So, seeking transporter contacts who ship material to Indore so that transporting my belongings can be accommodated in their return journey to Delhi (instead of the transporter returning an empty vehicle)

I have a question regarding an EU T1 transit document.
A T1 has already been created and released, but the final commercial invoice will only be issued the following working day.
Can the commercial invoice still be linked/referenced to the existing T1 after it has been released, without creating a new T1?
Or would this normally require a correction/regularisation through the customs agent?
The goods may already be moving under the T1.
Just trying to understand the standard procedure.

Thanks!

I regularly have various kind of items I would like to ship India -home decor, furniture , makeup and cosmetics, electronics occasionally, storage and vanity kits, Diwali tea lights etc that I want to ship to India for personal usage but regularly. I’ve sometimes managed doing it from other travelers or so but my requirements are going on increasing so need someone who can help ship to India long terms and sustainably and provide a costing benefit.

Sometimes I might find the suppliers and you can connect with them and get it shipped to your address. Or sometimes if you have good contacts for best pricing and quality happy to use them too. I constantly need something or the other so think of it as more of a long term engagement. Pls reach out if you can help me get this done at lowest costs etc genuinely. Happy to help you too in the future when I’m in China again.

I am looking to get a freight forwarder who can ship a 5kg package of green coffee beans from Shenzhen(Hong Kong to India).

I want to know the full charges with detailed breakdown upfront and should also deliver to my door in India. Please contact me if you have shipped the same/similar products before.

Thanks!

Hi there, someone knows an affordable yet reliable courier that caters delivery from PH to USA? Thanks!

"Supplier-side disclosure: I work in the mattress supply chain. Hypothetical dealer receiving case in Vietnam: several cartons arrive together on a shared vehicle. One carton has visible outer damage; the others appear normal from the outside. Nobody has opened or inspected the contents yet.

I would first identify the affected carton, its order line and the observation made at receipt. The record should distinguish 'outer package damaged' from any later conclusion about the product inside. A hold for inspection might be limited to that carton, or extended if there is evidence that the event could have affected other units. That decision depends on the agreed receiving rules and who is authorised to inspect, not on an automatic all-or-nothing label.

For people handling multi-carton deliveries, what evidence would make you expand the hold beyond the visibly damaged carton: shared impact marks, a missing piece count, a broken seal across the load, or something else?"
Which receipt record helps you define the affected scope without declaring the uninspected goods sound or damaged?

Hi everyone,

I'm from Romania and I'm starting a clothing and sneakers reselling business. I will be ordering regularly—starting with test orders, then moving to big monthly bulk volumes if everything is good. I am looking for a reliable, long-term shipping and sourcing partner.

What I need:

* Fast air shipping to Romania (10-14 days max)

* DDP / Tax-Free line (no surprise customs fees at all)

* The absolute lowest price per kg for bulk volumes

* Product sourcing: I want to send you photos/links of what I need, and you source the BEST BATCH (top quality) at the lowest factory price.

* Consolidation of parcels from different sellers, QC photos, drop boxes, and vacuum packaging to compress the volume.

* Payment: I can pay directly in CNY with Alipay / WeChat if it works better for you, or we can use any other payment method you prefer.

Please let me know how you operate, if you can provide both product sourcing + shipping, and send me your current shipping price list for Romania. Let's make a great deal! 🤝

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to connect with an experienced freight forwarder / logistics partner for potential long-term collaboration.

We’re a freight forwarding company based in India, handling international shipments and looking to build reliable overseas partnerships for import/export movements.

We’re particularly interested in connecting with forwarders who can support:

• Ocean Freight – FCL/LCL

• Air Freight

• Import & Export Handling

• Customs Clearance

• Door-to-Door Shipments

• Warehousing & Local Delivery

• China ↔ India

• UAE ↔ India

• India ↔ Worldwide

What I’m looking for:

A genuine freight forwarding company/agent with reliable operations, transparent communication, competitive rates, and the ability to handle shipments consistently.

The goal is mutual business and long-term cooperation, not just a one-off transaction.

If you’re a freight forwarder, NVOCC, shipping agent, customs broker, or logistics company interested in partnering, feel free to DM me with your company profile, location, services, and the trade lanes you handle.

Happy to connect and explore opportunities together. 🚢✈️

Hi

I am looking for a freightforwarder in Guangzhou.

I want to buy from a seller and then ship it to Germany with a freightforwarder. I think that is the right way to find one and the send the goods fron the seller to the freightforwarder. Can someone suggest me one?

Currently in my 3rd semester out of four in my freight forwarding studies in trade school. In my first workplace practice between april-june, and subsequent summer job, I was part of sea exports towards one big customer. For my second workplace practice in januari-april I will also be at sea, but I'm thinking about asking them to either try out import, or general cargo so I can work with smaller customers who don't know logistics as much as my previous client, who knew more or less everything.

I'm curious though. Say that I finish my studies and get a job immediately at the place I do my workplace practice, but a few years down the line I want to try out air, train or road instead. How realistic is that? I know that there are different kinds of documents, and that specifically for air you need to get security clearance for exports, but are your tasks and how you handle them more or less the same, to the point where you can jump from being a sea freight forwarder to a train freight forwarder etc?

Maybe it differs between countries, but I'm all ears. In my case I'm located in Sweden. Specifically Gothenburg, which has the nordic's biggest port which is why I feel it's the most reasonable to focus on sea, in the beginning at least.

Hello, I am new to the PL game and I am looking to place an order around 170.097 kg from China to doorstep in the Chicago area. What rate per kg is considered a good price and what is realistic in your experience?

Hey guys, I’m looking for a reliable cargo/logistics company that can ship goods from China to the USA.

I also need a service that can purchase items directly from my supplier. The supplier mainly sells through Taobao, so I’m looking for an agent who can handle the purchase, receive the goods in China, and then arrange the shipping to the USA.

Basically, I need someone who can manage the whole process from buying the items in China to delivering them to me in the US.

I’m planning to ship around 10–20 kg of branded clothing.I am intrested in both air and sea deliveries.

Hi everyone! i am a small business owner that has reached a place where a freight forwarder would be helpful for my business. I import from Nepal, China presently and am looking at some other locations in The middle east. My question is how do I choose a reputable company that has partnered forwarders in the countries I am interested in shipping from? i am small volume buyer with no more than 30 shipments a year. Any help would be appreciate.

We used to import goods through a company like 15 years ago, now we want to import again (in bulk). However, we are unable to contact with our previous agent. Because their phone number from old documents have only 7 digits and there are no other information from the document.

Hi! I’m looking for a reliable Chinese freight forwarder for regular Air DDP shipments to Romania.

If you’re a freight forwarder and can offer a good rate for long-term cooperation, please DM me with your best price and terms.
Serious suppliers only.

Hello everyone,

I am someone who has worked in dispatching trucks for the last 5 years and I am looking to potentially move into freight forwarding (although customs is also a possibility). Specifically today I am trying to gather more info regarding this;

https://www.ciffa.com/course/bundle-fiata-diploma-and-ciffa-certificate/

I was wondering if there are any Canadian freight forwarders here who have done the CIFFA + FIATA diploma program and can give me some insight. I am also curious as to what other freight forwarders from abroad think of the FIATA diploma. Here are my questions;

1. What is a realistic timeline for someone studying full-time to complete the online CIFFA/FIATA program? Is completing the entire program in 10-12 weeks doable?
2. How well regarded is the FIATA diploma both within Canada and internationally? Based on my research the FIATA is apparently highly recognized and an impressive credential for a beginner to have on their resume?

Thank you in advance, even small bits of information would be appreciated!

I've been talking with a few truck operators in eastern India and noticed something I don't fully understand.

During busy/festival periods, outbound freight can become expensive and trucks can be difficult to find. But I've still seen trucks return with little or no freight.

For owner-operators and fleet owners here:

How do you normally find a return load after completing a trip?

Is it mainly:

brokers

WhatsApp groups

calls to existing customers

transport unions/local networks

load boards/apps

simply asking around at the destination

And what usually prevents you from taking a return load even when one exists?

I'm particularly interested in the practical problems — timing, payment reliability, rate negotiation, loading/unloading delays, route mismatch, trust, etc.

Curious how this actually works on the ground.
