Create my planning sheet.

Yes. Send the product link or your planning list and the destination, even if packing details are missing. We can identify what needs checking; a planning estimate does not confirm that the goods have been accepted for transport.

• Start with what you have

No. You can use your own factory, showroom, Alibaba, 1688 or Taobao seller. Before arranging dispatch, agree the cargo's suitability, receiving instructions and shipment scope with the team. Product purchasing terms remain between you and the seller unless separately agreed.

• Shipping your own purchases

Yes, you can ask about one item or several. The available route and whether it makes sense depend on the item, packed size, weight and destination. This website does not automatically quote a standalone express or air-parcel service for small items.

• One furniture item
• Small home goods

Enquiries can include finished furniture, home goods and finished building materials such as cabinets, doors, windows, stone, tiles and bathroom products. Cement, mortar and light-gauge framing are outside this website's service scope. Each product still needs route, packing and destination review before acceptance.

• Browse cargo questions

Identify it before paying the supplier or sending goods. Share the product description and relevant specification or safety documents so the team can check the proposed route. An ordinary furniture estimate is not approval for restricted, dangerous or otherwise unsuitable goods.

• Ask for a cargo review

No. The 15 specific models across seven categories use complete package sets from official manufacturer records. Choose a model close to your product's size and disassembly or packing method. A room-size match compares the item's footprint and any supplied room height; room dimensions do not become shipping CBM. A flat-pack reference does not describe a fitted stone bar counter. Extra export crates and pallets are excluded. Replace the reference with your supplier's actual packing before confirming shipment.

• How furniture references are used

Yes, where the destination, postcode and route can be matched. The estimator can use volumetric weight from the packed volume and marks gross weight as unconfirmed. When final packed volume and gross weight are known, the higher chargeable weight applies under the displayed route calculation.

• Check the calculation basis

The known weights remain a subtotal, not the weight of the complete shipment. The sheet identifies missing weights and the provisional basis used for any estimate. Do not treat a partial-weight result as a final quote or a promised minimum price.

• Weight and volume planning

Assembled product dimensions are not packed shipping dimensions. If packing is unknown, explicitly select a manufacturer model close to your product's size and packing method; its complete package set provides a labelled planning reference. Room dimensions do not convert to CBM. Extra export crates, pallets and reinforcement need separate packing data. Replace the reference with your supplier's actual outer package sizes, counts and weights before confirming freight.

• Product size versus packed size
• Inspect the manufacturer references

No. DDP base freight only. Surcharges require separate review. Confirm your shipment-specific written quote before booking.

• What still needs separate pricing
• Understanding the DDP scope

No. The current workflow gathers information for customs review; it does not provide a verified automatic final tax amount. Product classification, origin, true value, route and destination rules need checking. A separate duty reference is not an amount to add again to the DDP base estimate.

• Duty and import tax are different

The planning estimate uses the information available today. Once the planned goods are together and their actual packing is reviewed, confirm the measured cargo list, itemised quote and agreed delivery scope before international dispatch. Keep the quote date, validity and version. Check that additions are explained rather than silently replacing the starting estimate; changed cargo or work needs written reconfirmation.

• Compare like-for-like quotes
• Published price-confirmation sequence · Buildcargo

First agree the receiving service with the team. Each delivery needs the correct recipient instructions, supplier or order reference, ready date and expected package count. A public warehouse address or a calculator result is not permission to dispatch unregistered goods.

• Receiving instructions and checks · Buildcargo

Buildcargo publishes its operating warehouse in Shenzhen, with the company identity and address available for verification. Your actual receiving instructions must be confirmed for the booking. The published warehouse photo shows operations; it does not identify your goods, prove ownership of the building or establish a storage entitlement.

• Verify the operating location · Buildcargo

Yes, subject to an agreed receiving and shipment plan. List each supplier, ready date and expected packages. Before arrivals begin, confirm which event starts storage time, how chargeable days are counted, the planned release date and what happens if one order is late. A supplier's dispatch date is not the warehouse arrival date. Consolidation does not make storage free or guarantee a saving.

• Multi-supplier consolidation planning

Not by default. Receiving records visible and countable package facts; factory-sealed products normally remain closed. Opening selected packages needs approval. Product-specific checks against an order, drawing or sample are a separately agreed scope, not laboratory testing, certification or a guarantee against hidden defects.

• The three inspection levels · Buildcargo

The team records the visible exception and compares receiving information with supplier dispatch records. The next action—hold, inspect, replace, repack or continue—needs your confirmation. The record helps resolve the issue; it does not automatically establish fault or promise that Buildcargo pays for a supplier error.

• How warehouse exceptions are handled · Buildcargo

Ask what changed, why, and whether new dimensions, weight, handling or charges are involved. Confirm the proposed work and cost before it proceeds; after repacking, match the revised measurements to a dated cargo list and quote revision before dispatch. Keep your written approval with those versions. Repacking can increase protection, volume and weight; it does not always reduce freight cost.

• See the packing and measurement method
• The specific U.S. correction record · Buildcargo

Foshan Cargo is the Buildcargo Logistics team's pre-purchase planning website. Buildcargo reviews the shipment and executes the agreed logistics service. Check that your documents name the contracting legal entity and correct payment recipient; the two websites are not independent endorsements of each other.

• Our relationship and legal identity
• Official company verification · Buildcargo

Yes. Buildcargo provides your shipment-specific written quote and agreement privately before booking. First, the team reviews the actual goods, packing and delivery arrangements with you. Send your current planning sheet to start that review.

• Start the shipment review

Keep the latest planning sheet, supplier list, measured packing list, written quote and available progress or delivery records together. Use the shipment reference and dates to match each record to your goods, and retain any updated versions.

• See the records behind a shipment

Check a payment request and its recipient with the team's official contact before paying. If instructions change, verify them through the same official channel. The calculator produces a planning sheet, so generating a result does not ask you to make a payment.

• Company and official-contact verification · Buildcargo

Yes, you can update your planning sheet as your purchases become clearer. If the team is already arranging your shipment, tell your project contact before changing goods, dates or the delivery address, and ask for an updated written plan and quote.

• Discuss an updated shipping plan

Transport damage or loss is handled under your confirmed transport agreement. Additional commercial cargo insurance is not automatically included. You can request it privately before departure; any insurance cover follows the issued policy.

• Ask privately about commercial cargo insurance

Ask for collection to be reviewed using the supplier's location, contacts, ready date, package count, dimensions and weight. Pickup and its charge must be included in the agreed plan or quoted separately. Do not assume a displayed international base rate includes collection from every supplier or city.

• Start with the supplier information
• Receiving or pickup arrangements · Buildcargo

Suitable smaller orders can be reviewed for shared-container shipping. If your planned volume exceeds 57 m³, request a full-container quote. For suitable shipments, we can review direct factory-to-door movement with routing and delivery arrangements agreed before shipment. The calculator does not provide an automatic full-container price or discount.

• Shared space versus a full container

You can still send the planning sheet for review. The automatic estimator covers only matched routes and conditions; Canada and the United Kingdom currently require manual pricing. No displayed price does not mean every route is unavailable, and an enquiry does not establish service availability.

• Route-specific review

Ask for both events in writing. A route may count from warehouse acceptance, container loading or vessel departure; an arrival estimate may end at port or at the agreed home handover. Confirm which applies, what preparation time sits outside that window, and whether each date is estimated or confirmed. If packing, supplier readiness, customs or the carrier schedule changes, ask for the revised milestones—not one unexplained delivery date.

• Progress and delivery planning · Buildcargo

A supplier sending goods to the warehouse, a warehouse releasing cargo, container loading and vessel departure are separate events. Ask the update to name the event, date and available shipment reference. The project contact shares confirmed milestones through WhatsApp and written records; ask for the agreed receiving, measurement, packing, loading and handover evidence. A loading photo does not prove vessel departure, and not every movement has a photo or live location.

• The records behind the steps · Buildcargo

Start with accurate product descriptions, materials and uses, quantities, supplier invoices or true values, and any available classification or product documents. Requirements depend on the goods and destination. The team confirms the applicable document plan; a low declaration or incomplete product description is not a legitimate substitute for that review.

• Customs review information

Not automatically. Ask the written plan to name the accessible delivery point and whether completion means truck arrival there or a separately agreed unloading or handover task. Confirm who provides the people and equipment. Carrying indoors, lifting upstairs and installation need separate agreement; share access restrictions and heavy or fragile package details before dispatch.

• What residential delivery includes

The unloading provider needs individual package sizes and weights, lifting or fork-entry details, supplier handling instructions and photos of the access and ground conditions. Long glass, stone and window assemblies may need specialist handling. Total shipment weight alone cannot determine the crew or equipment; agree the plan before arrival.

• Prepare the unloading review

Tell the project contact as early as possible. Storage, another vehicle, waiting or a new delivery attempt may need fresh availability and pricing. Get the changed handover arrangement and charges confirmed in writing rather than assuming the original quote covers a different address or receiving date.

• Delivery-related cost factors

Check the package count and visible condition at handover where possible. Record the actual handover date, photograph any concern and keep the receipt, labels and packing. Send the records and shipment reference to your project contact promptly.

• Prepare the delivery check

Photograph the packaging and the concern, keep the labels and receiving record, and contact the team promptly with your shipment reference. Transport damage or loss is handled under your confirmed transport agreement. If you arranged additional commercial cargo insurance, the issued policy governs that cover. Discuss the next step with the team privately.

• Discuss the shipment issue privately

Compare the goods with your order and supplier specification, and send photos to the supplier and your project contact. Ask the supplier to confirm the correction, then discuss any replacement package and shipping arrangement with the team before it is sent.
