What fulfillment company are you using in China/HK?

[slinks]

I will producing my products in Shenzhen and will be shipping world wide, so I decided it's probably best to find a fulfillment company in China/HK.

Does anyone have experience with any fulfillment companies or can point me in the right direction 🙂

Can you please explain how to set up shopify store with dshipchina? I find their guide on their website is confusing

[jiangyanfeng86]

1. Login and  Go to the top right menu of fulfillment center and click "shopify" to enter shopify app

2. Match the SKU between your store and Dshipchina fulfillment WMS

Create product ID in Dshipchina system

And make the SKU in Dshipchina system the same as in shopify store product

3. In shopify app, Edit the default setting if you need. But this is not necessary

4. When your shopify store have orders (You successfully sell out something)

Go to shopify app -> order 

You will see the order also shown here

You can choose the order you want DShipChina to fulfill and ship for you and submit

Of course, before submit and pass the order to DShipChina, you must have inventory storage in DShipChina warehouse

(Double click the address, shipping method you will be able to edit them )

Thank you so much! Also for the sku does it have to be the same as the product id? What do I put for the shipping setting in shopify store?

How fast is ganzhou epacket shipping?

[jiangyanfeng86]

When you create a product ID in DShipChina system

The SKU  in DShipChina system default will be same as product ID

However,  SKU is not have to the same as product ID

You can edit it to any later

For shipping setting, you will see a list of shipping method for choice 

Even you default to set Guangzhou epacket 

In shopify app -> orders,  you can easliy change the shipping method to such as "DHL" by double click it later

For Shipping time of Guangzhou epacket

Sometimes is quite fast and sometimes is slow

So I cannot give an exactly data here

But  here are some shipping experience data from others customers for reference:

Also what do i do after I completed step 1?

Match the SKU between Dshipchina and shopify product

You don't need to put any address in step 2

Also when do I need to add money into the dshipchina account balance?

When you need to fulfill and ship out something from dshipchina

Do I need to change any settings on shopify?

No, you don't need to

How do I go about charging customers shipping costs on shopify to account for shipping with dshipchina? 

For how you charge your customer shipping cost,

you need to set it yourself in your shopify store

dshipchina shopify app still not support to help you auto set up the shipping cost in your shopify store

You can check dshipchina shipping quote here for reference here:

Should I put the warehouse address for the shipping address on my shopify account?

Yes, you can. But this is not a must

Thank you so much for the reply. If I set the default shipping to gaungzhou is it possible to edit it later on (after i got a sale) to a different shipping method? I want to set almost all countries to gaungzhou except uk. Is there a cheaper shipping method for uk? the guangzhou is 10 dollars which is really expensive. Can we use the special line shipping method?

[jiangyanfeng86]

Yes, you can edit the shipping method later at any time

All shipping methods are shown in this calcultor

I am not sure if this is the cheaper one

You can compare yourself

Yes, you can use special line shipping method

if you product type meet the restriction

Here is an explain of the restriction of the shipping option

I want to ship an eyeshadow product. But I was told by dship that it counts as a powder product so I will have to send via shipping lines which accept powder products. If I tried sending it through a shipping line as a normal product would it get refused? I cant afford to pay for the powder product line ad my product is not even powder is pressed glitter minerals.
