# Sample collection and purchasing help in China

Already know which product you want? Ask us about collecting or buying agreed samples, recording what arrives and coordinating the next handover. Product selection, purchase authority and delivery instructions stay explicit.

## From a selected item to a documented handover

This service starts with an identified item or supplier, rather than an open-ended search. Send the product link, model, size, colour, quantity and the features that matter. Tell us whether a seller should ship to an agreed recipient or whether an in-person collection is needed. We confirm the location and person before accepting a delivery or arranging a purchase. If the sample differs from the brief, we ask for your decision instead of choosing a substitute without approval.

## How we would approach it

1. 01

Confirm the item list, supplier, collection address or delivery contact, and who is authorised to place the order.

1. 02

Agree purchase and handling costs, the photo checklist and what to do if an item is unavailable, damaged or different.

1. 03

Record the agreed visible details and available receipts, then hand over or dispatch according to confirmed instructions.

## What you could receive

- An item-and-quantity record with permitted photos of the samples and packaging.
- Available purchase or collection records, plus noted differences and unresolved questions.
- An agreed handover record and dispatch details when onward delivery is arranged.

ILLUSTRATIVE REQUEST · NOT A CUSTOMER STORY

## Example: collect two samples before choosing an order

I have selected two mug samples from a named supplier. Please confirm the exact codes and quantities, photograph the visible finish and packaging, and ask me before accepting substitutes. Once I review the update, I will confirm whether they should be forwarded together. This is an example brief, not a completed customer order.

## What needs separate agreement

Visible sample photos do not certify product safety, performance or later production quality. Specialist testing, storage, returns, consolidation and international forwarding need their own agreement. Shipping depends on the item, destination and carrier acceptance; do not send samples to an unconfirmed address or assume every item can be exported or delivered.

## Before you book

Do you choose the supplier or collect a sample I already selected?

This page covers an agreed purchase or sample collection. If you need suppliers or prices compared first, use our sourcing service. The two tasks can be combined in a quote with separate deliverables.

Can you forward samples outside China?

We can discuss coordination with an agreed carrier or forwarder after checking the item and destination. Carrier acceptance, packing requirements, costs and available delivery information must be confirmed first; worldwide delivery is not assumed.

What happens if the item is wrong or unavailable?

We record the issue and ask you to choose the next step. Alternatives, returns, extra collection trips and related fees need approval. A visit or collection does not override the supplier's own terms.

## How the quote is built

We quote the actual task. Goods, domestic delivery, collection travel, packing, storage if agreed and onward shipping are separate from the service fee. Confirm who pays the seller and what approval is needed before money is spent. No shipping price or delivery date is guaranteed in advance.

## What to send us first

Product links and codes, quantities, seller contact, collection city, photo checklist, destination and preferred date. Share precise private delivery details after the receiving arrangement is confirmed.
