Example of how an order would proceed from start to finish.
- Individual orders placed, and Pro Forma invoice is raised after approving sealing sample and price.
- 25% / 50% of invoice value to be paid when order is placed. There are other ways of payment; it depends on how you and / or the factory want to work.
- On receipt of payment orders are placed with the factory and production starts.
- Most Factories require 4-5 weeks for manufacturing. Once goods are complete and either delivered to the port or placed on the ship the rest on the money is sent over.
- Shipping takes 3-4 weeks depending on the type of ship used and the port of departure.
- Goods land mainly at Felixstowe where customs take 2-4 days to clear and create all paperwork.
- Delivery to a UK destination is arranged.
