Freight shipment process

  1. 01

    Define the cargo & endpoint

    Confirm the direction, origin and receiving point, goods, packed measurements, handling constraints and cargo-ready date.

  2. 02

    Agree transport & responsibilities

    Confirm the mode, departure, included charges and delivery scope. For cross-border cargo, agree customs representation and importer responsibilities.

  3. 03

    Prepare & hand over

    Coordinate the agreed factory, warehouse or gateway handover. Confirm packing or loading, final measurements and the documents for the selected direction.

  4. 04

    Connect arrival to delivery

    Coordinate the agreed destination handling and any border work, then confirm warehouse receiving or final delivery with the named receiver.

PLAN THE COMPLETE DELIVERY

Cargo preparation and receiving

An air, sea, rail or road quote needs a clear starting point and a prepared receiver. Confirm the scope for China–US, US–China or US domestic cargo.

01

Check the quote scope

Confirm origin collection and handling, the main transport leg, destination handling, customs responsibilities and final delivery. Identify what is included, excluded or payable separately before comparing prices.

02

Describe every handling unit

List carton or pallet counts, packed dimensions, gross weights and stackability. For mixed stock, link SKUs and quantities to the cartons; flag crates, oversize cargo and special handling before booking.

03

Prepare the receiving address

Confirm the receiving contact, opening hours, appointment or booking reference, vehicle access and unloading arrangements. For a warehouse or marketplace, agree its acceptance requirements separately from transport delivery.

Transport delivery and stock acceptance are separate

A delivery record confirms a transport event. Receiving counts, shortages, damage and whether stock is ready for sale need their own warehouse confirmation. Agree who will check and report each stage.

Product and account

Who selects the product, creates the label and pays postage? Confirm account eligibility and the authorised shipping method.

Where will the goods be handed over, to whom and against which record? Keep electronic preparation and physical acceptance separate.

Delivery options

What delivery evidence, notifications or collection preferences are needed? Check current carrier options and restrictions before requesting a change.

Returns and fee responsibilities

Who authorises returns and pays transport, taxes, clearance and handling? Agree the return destination and warehouse disposition before goods move.

Carrier reference practices

Official US carrier examples for tracking, notifications and delivery preferences. These are reference practices; your carrier, account and Jeton service scope are confirmed separately.

  • USPS · US

    Manifest preparation and the accompanying handover document are separate from proof that goods were received.

  • DHL Express · US

    On Demand Delivery shows recipient preferences; available options and notification channels depend on the country.

  • UPS · US

    Label Created records electronic information; carrier receipt and the recipient’s collection are separate events.

  • FedEx · US

    Delivery Manager displays eligible residential delivery options; shipment eligibility and sender restrictions affect available changes.

  • Amazon Shipping · US

    Amazon Shipping provides warehouse-to-door tracking and delivery photos for most shipments. Shippers configure email and SMS notifications in their account.

  • OnTrac · US

    OnTrac tracking shows shipment events and offers opt-in text alerts for delivery attempts, out-for-delivery and delivered events. Use the assigned OnTrac reference.

Before you book freight

Agree the full route and receiving arrangements before goods move.

Does the freight quote cover the whole journey?

The quotation sets out the agreed scope. Ask us to identify collection, origin handling, main transport, customs work, taxes, destination handling and final delivery separately, including any exclusions or variable charges. Confirm the named delivery endpoint and who pays each item before approval.

What should the US receiver arrange?

Share the delivery address, receiving contact, opening hours and any booking or reference requirements. Tell us about vehicle access, unloading equipment, lifting needs and carton or pallet limits. Confirm the appointment and unloading responsibility with the receiver before we arrange final delivery.

Must all freight pass through Guangzhou?

The collection and preparation route is agreed for each shipment. Direct factory collection may suit an approved load; Guangzhou receiving can help when several suppliers need consolidation or packing. Share the supplier locations and handling needs so we can confirm the suitable arrangement.

Does “delivered” mean the stock is ready to sell?

A transport delivery record confirms a handoff at the agreed endpoint. Warehouse receiving, quantity reconciliation and stock release are separate steps. For US partner warehouse or marketplace replenishment, agree the receiving references and acceptance checks, then review any differences before treating stock as available.
