Shipping Always Done On Freights?

[naf456]

Hello Nathan Here.

And Yes - I'm really asking this question

Is Shipping via a Freight Legally binding? ie is it the ONLY transportation method your aloud to use?

Say I Order 40 Dog Toys - Would These Be Shipped By Freight? - I Mean - It's not like it's going to take up 2 Large Boxes is it?

I Ask this as I'm Trying to get round Freight Forwarding charges...

Also Samples - I'm Getting a Free Sample of my product - I Doubt the company would send 1 sample via a Freight, right?

I'm very new to importing - Literally just heard of it about 4 days ago.

I'm Not Asking my manufacture yet, As I'm unsure if this is a idiotic question - thus pointing out I Have No Idea What I'm Doing (that's true - I Don't :/)

Thanks For Your Time.

Nathan

The sample will be sent by normal parcel, it depends where you're ordering the sample from but it can take a week or two to arrive and depending on the size of it, it will go through the normal international postage.

40 dog toys? as in..toys for dogs? not actual toys shaped like a dog?

They might be sent by normal parcel delivery again but it depends how big the parcel is. If we're talking something that you can pick up in one hand then it should be normal postage and not freight.

No - Sorry - the Dog Toys Were Just an example - That Being Fluffy Animals with Squeakers in them for dogs to rip apart.

I'm looking into selling Micro USB Flash Drives - which are the Size of a dime - so yeah - there pretty small.

I'll clarify The Postage With The Manufacture.

So I'd imagine if their posted as a parcel - they would be sent to my Door? Or Would I Still Need A Forwarder?

Thanks
