By Courier (DHL, FedEx, and UPS)
For small shipments such as samples, prototypes, or lightweight packages, courier delivery is usually the fastest and most convenient shipping option. We work with reliable international couriers including DHL, FedEx, and UPS to provide efficient door-to-door transportation for our global customers.
Courier shipping typically takes around 5–7 business days, depending on the destination country and customs clearance process. Please note that import duties, taxes, and customs fees are usually the responsibility of the buyer and need to be paid at the destination.
For customers in the United States, we also provide UPS DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping options for selected orders. With DDP service, customs clearance and import duties are handled in advance, allowing you to receive your shipment more easily without unexpected customs charges.
Courier shipping is ideal for sample approval, urgent replenishment, small trial orders, and product testing before mass production. Our team will recommend the most suitable shipping method based on your order quantity, delivery time requirements, and destination.
By Air
Air freight is an excellent shipping solution for medium-sized orders that require faster delivery than sea freight but are more economical than express courier services. We can arrange air shipment to your designated international airport, ensuring your goods are packed securely and delivered on schedule.
Our team is responsible for handling all export procedures in China, including export customs clearance and the preparation of the necessary shipping documents. Once the shipment arrives at the destination airport, the buyer is responsible for import customs clearance, payment of import duties, taxes, and any local handling charges required by the destination country.
Air freight typically offers a good balance between transit time and shipping cost, making it suitable for urgent replenishment, seasonal orders, product launches, and medium-volume shipments. We work with trusted airline partners and experienced freight forwarders to ensure reliable transportation and timely delivery.
If you are unsure whether air freight is the best option for your order, our logistics team can recommend the most suitable shipping method based on your shipment size, destination, budget, and delivery schedule. We are committed to providing flexible shipping solutions that help your business move products efficiently and smoothly worldwide.
By Truck (Rail + Truck DDP Service)
For shipments to Central Asia and Europe, we offer a cost-effective rail and truck combined transportation service. This logistics solution uses rail freight for the main part of the journey and truck delivery for the final leg, providing an efficient balance between transit time and shipping cost.
We provide DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping, which means we handle export procedures, international transportation, customs clearance, import duties, and final delivery to your designated warehouse or business address. This door-to-door service helps simplify the shipping process and reduces the workload for our customers.
Compared with air freight, rail and truck transportation offers lower shipping costs while being significantly faster than traditional sea freight for many inland destinations. It is an excellent choice for medium and large bulk orders where both delivery time and logistics costs are important.
Our experienced logistics partners monitor the shipment throughout the entire journey to ensure safe and reliable transportation. Whether you are shipping leather bags, wallets, backpacks, or other leather goods, our rail and truck DDP service provides a convenient and dependable solution for customers across Europe and Central Asia.
By Air DDP
For customers who need fast delivery with minimal logistics hassle, we offer Air DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping. Your goods are transported by air to the destination country and then delivered directly to your warehouse or business address through our local logistics partners.
With Air DDP service, we take care of the entire shipping process, including export customs clearance, air transportation, import customs procedures, duties, taxes, and final door-to-door delivery. This allows you to receive your shipment without dealing with complex customs documentation or unexpected import charges.

With Sea DDP shipping, we manage the entire transportation process from our factory to your warehouse. This includes export customs clearance in China, ocean freight, import customs clearance, duties and taxes, and final delivery to your designated address. You do not need to arrange customs brokers or handle complicated import procedures.
Sea DDP is the preferred choice for wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and private label brands placing high-volume orders of leather bags, wallets, backpacks, and other leather goods. Although transit times are longer than air freight, the significantly lower shipping cost makes it the best option for bulk production.
Our experienced logistics partners carefully coordinate every stage of the shipment to ensure your goods are transported safely and efficiently. We also provide shipment tracking and regular updates, giving you full visibility from departure to final delivery. Sea DDP helps simplify international sourcing while offering the best value for large-scale orders.
