Find answers to common questions about purchasing, shipping, and quality assurance
What is a notifying party?
The notify party is a party listed on the bill of lading who will be informed when the goods arrive at the destination port. It is usually the buyer or their designated freight forwarder/customs agent.
What is the consignee?
The consignee is the party designated on the bill of lading to receive the goods, usually the importer or buyer. The consignee is responsible for handling customs clearance and picking up the goods at the destination port.
Why is it necessary to provide the recipient's full name and address?
International couriers such as DHL require complete recipient information for customs clearance and delivery. This is a compliance requirement for international shipping to ensure that documents can be delivered accurately.
How to pay?
We accept payment methods such as bank wire transfer (T/T) and letter of credit (L/C). The most commonly used method is T/T, which involves transferring the funds directly to our corporate bank account through the bank. Detailed payment information will be provided after the order is confirmed.
Which currencies do we accept?
We mainly accept settlement in US dollars (USD). Depending on the specific situation, we can also accept euros (EUR), Chinese yuan (CNY), and other currencies. Please confirm with us before placing an order.
What is the payment deadline?
Payment usually needs to be completed within 48 hours after order confirmation. If special circumstances require a delay, please communicate with the sales team in advance, and we will try our best to coordinate.
Can I pay in installments?
For large orders, we can negotiate an installment payment plan. Usually, a deposit of 30%-50% is required, with the remaining balance paid before shipment. Please consult the sales team for specific arrangements.
What is a telegraphic transfer copy? Where can it be obtained?
A telegraphic transfer copy (T/T Copy) is a document issued by the bank after processing a remittance, proving that the funds have been transferred. You can request it from the bank after the transfer or download it from the online banking system. Please send the copy to us so that we can confirm receipt of the funds and arrange subsequent matters.
How long will it take for my bank wire transfer to be credited to your bank account?
International wire transfers usually take 2-5 business days to arrive, depending on the processing speed of the remitting bank and the receiving bank. It is recommended that you keep a copy of the wire transfer after payment so that we can confirm it in a timely manner.
Will you still reserve this product for me after 48 hours?
Due to rapid changes in vehicle inventory, we usually only reserve vehicles for orders that have been paid for or have signed a contract. If payment is not completed within 48 hours, the vehicle may be purchased by other buyers. If you need to extend the reservation period, please contact us.
What happens if I cannot make the payment before the deadline?
If you are unable to make the payment on time, please contact us as soon as possible. We can negotiate an extension of the payment deadline or cancel the order. Failure to communicate in a timely manner may result in the order being canceled and the vehicle being released to other buyers.
