Hi this is Jonathan from Macau, China.
I got experience in helping people to source from Alibaba China(Alibaba international price is like 50-100% higher than China one).
Here is what I can help on your project.
1. Source suppliers for you with sample cost, total produce cost, estimated process time, shipping cost.
2. Once confirm supplier, I will request supplier to send sample to my address in Macau first, I may help to briefly examine the quality or I video call to you let you examine by video call. And then I arrange the sample to ship to you by EMS, it’s about USD50for that, which is a lot cheaper than DHL(over 100usd)
3. Once you confirm the sample is okay, I will inform factory to produce. After they finish, I will arrange shipping company to ship to your chosen port city, please note that you need to clear custom by yourself in your country.
Here is some idea about 2 cbm stock shipping cost by vessel from China to Sri Lanka Colombo port)
CFS:RMB100/RT
DOC:RMB500/BILL
C/C:RMB350/BILL
H/C:RMB200/BILL
VGM:USD15/BILL
Export DOC: RMB500
Total around : USD 260
In short, my duty would be choose the right supplier(manufacturing) and ship goods to your chosen port city.
All cost (Sample, sample EMS, manufacturing cost, LCL vessel shipping cost) will be bear by you.
