Goods consolidation & warehousing in China.
For goods consolidation in China, I normally use managed warehouses in the Guangzhou–Foshan area. The physical warehouse work is done by the warehouse staff, while the follow-ups and control stay with me. I personally manage in-warehouse goods checks, shipment preparation and container loading. No important step is carried out without my confirmation.
Guangzhou–Foshan is my default consolidation area. If a specific project makes Yiwu more practical, I can use a warehouse there instead.

Storage
The goods stay at the warehouse as long as the project needs. Nothing moves without your instruction. The goods leave when you say "load" or "ship", or when your own carrier comes to collect them.
-
Records on arrival
For every delivery, the tracking number, package count, total weight and volume are logged. One to three packages are opened for a spot check, with photos of the goods. -
In-warehouse checks
On receiving, the goods are checked for external packaging damage — this is part of the standard handling. If a deeper or specific check is needed, piece-by-piece, every package opened — that is a separate service, with the scope agreed per task. -
Packaging upgrade
Where the cargo needs better protection, I arrange appropriate export packaging — repacking, wooden frames and crates, protective corners, palletising. -
Shipping & export
I coordinate and manage the shipment from the warehouse — container loading, air freight, or dispatch on your instruction to your forwarder or another warehouse across China. -

Clear reporting
The warehouse report is updated with every new delivery, so at any point you have an up-to-date picture of what has actually been received — arrival dates, package counts, and the total weight and volume.
Billing & terms
Storage is billed at a flat rate per cubic metre per day, from day one — no minimum term, no hidden "free period" built into other fees.
Warehousing is also available as a separate service. You don't have to source through me to use the warehouse. If you've already purchased from your own suppliers, their goods can be sent to the warehouse, consolidated, checked where agreed, and prepared for export.

FAQ
Standard handling is included: receiving the goods, recording weight and volume, a basic check, secure storage.
No. Upgrading weak packaging, repacking, additional palletising, and special handling are a separate service, priced by scope and volume.
Yes, just give me instructions. I pick that part and send it separately, by courier or air. The rest waits at the warehouse for as long as you need.

Between the suppliers and shipping from China
In theory, it sounds as simple as "just buy and ship". In reality, there is a whole layer of hands-on work between the suppliers and the container.
