Shipping & Delivery

Shipping Policy

How we pack, document and deliver server hardware to more than 40 countries — express, air and sea, on FOB, CIF, DAP or DDP terms.

01

Processing Time

In-stock items ship within 1–3 business days of order confirmation. Platform testing, kitting and firmware configuration add 1–2 days when requested — the lead time on your quotation always reflects this.

02

Shipping Methods

Express courier (DHL / FedEx / UPS) for urgent spares and small cartons; air freight for mid-size consignments; sea freight (FCL / LCL) for palletised bulk. We consolidate multi-line BOMs into one shipment to cut per-kilo cost.

03

Incoterms

We quote FOB Guangzhou/Shenzhen/Hong Kong, CIF, DAP and DDP. On DDP orders we handle export declaration, destination customs clearance and duty payment door-to-door; on DAP and CIF you or your broker clear import.

Every shipment includes a full documentation set: commercial invoice, packing list, HS classification and certificate of origin where required.

04

Estimated Transit Times

Express: Southeast Asia 2–4 days, Europe 3–6 days, North America 3–7 days, Middle East 3–6 days. Air freight adds airport handling of 2–4 days; sea freight typically 18–35 days depending on the trade lane. Estimates exclude customs inspection time.

05

Packaging

All components ship in anti-static shielding with moisture-barrier bags, foam suspension and double-wall export cartons; pallets are heat-treated and ISPM-15 compliant. CPUs travel in tray-and-clamshell, memory in ESD tubes or trays, and drives in anti-static cushioning rated for air freight.

06

Tracking & Insurance

A tracking number is issued on dispatch, and your account engineer follows the shipment to delivery. Shipments are insured at invoice value; on DDP terms we are the claimant, on other terms we assist your claim with full documentation.

07

Customs, Duties & Restricted Destinations

HS codes and declared values follow the commercial invoice exactly — we do not under-declare. Some destinations restrict certain encryption-capable or high-compute items; we flag this at quotation stage. Remote-area surcharges are quoted in advance, never after dispatch.

08

Damage, Loss & Shortage

Photograph damaged cartons before opening, keep all packaging, and notify us within 48 hours of delivery. With the photo set and packing list we open a carrier claim immediately and, on verified damage or shortage, replace or credit the affected items without waiting for the carrier to settle.
