Cargo services

One company from your supplier's gate to your shop floor

Most forwarders start when the cargo reaches their warehouse. We start earlier — paying the factory, checking the goods and collecting them — and we finish later, with duty already settled before your cargo lands.

The core service

Air cargo with the duty already in the price

Including freight and duty to the Lusaka office/warehouse. Brand products same price. There is no clearing agent for you to appoint, no customs bill afterwards, and no adjustment at the counter. The figure you are quoted is the figure that lands.

  • Loaded out of Guangzhou for normal goods and wigs, Hong Kong for the special category.
  • Five to twelve days, counter in China to our Lusaka floor.
  • Billed on the weight our Lusaka warehouse confirms — anything under 1 kg counts as 1 kg.
  • Your own tracking number and QR label from the day we receive it.

While your goods are in China

The part most forwarders leave to you

Four things that happen before your cargo ever reaches an aircraft. Three of them cost nothing.

Chargeable

We pay your supplier

Send us the factory's details and the amount. Our China desk checks them, confirms the figure with you, pays in RMB and sends the proof the same day. If the goods are flying with us, the payment is filed against your cargo.

Free

Inspection before packing

We open the cartons and check what is inside against your order — quantity, model, obvious damage — and photograph what we find. Cheaper to catch in Guangzhou than to argue about in Lusaka.

Free

Collection from the supplier

Your supplier does not need to arrange anything. Give us the address and we collect from their door, anywhere in Guangzhou.

Free

Repacking for the hold

We reinforce and repack your goods for the flight at no cost. A carton built for a warehouse shelf is not built for an aircraft hold.

Once it lands in Lusaka

Terms that assume you have a business to run

Send in advance, no deposit

Established customers ship first and settle later. Nothing is required up front to get your goods moving.

Pay the freight when you collect

Settle at our Makeni counter when you pick the cargo up, rather than before it leaves China.

Released only against a scan

Cargo is handed over when the QR label put on it in China scans against a valid pickup note. That check is the reason nobody else can collect your goods.

7 free days on our floor

Storage is free for 7 days from check-in at Lusaka, then USD 2 a day. Your tracking page shows the count, so a fee is never a surprise.

Ready when you are
