Shipping string lights and bulbs from China: samples and production orders

Samples travel as parcels; production cartons go by air or sea freight, each quoted for your shipment. Send the product, configuration, quantity and destination, and your quotation states the freight, production timing, shipping basis and documents for that order.

Freight is quoted per shipment. Transit time, cost and route move with the goods and the destination, so give the desk both and it quotes the basis for your order.

Parcel transit times by destination

Use this table after identifying the order: for string sets, give the bulb style, socket and cable build; for solar lights, give the exact panel and battery configuration; for lamps, give the selected model. The windows are working days from dispatch at RyanFulfil's Guangzhou warehouse. Add 2–3 processing days unless pre-stocked. Factory sample preparation and production sit outside those windows, so a sample schedule is agreed separately.

For a lamp or string-light sample, ask whether the parcel service accepts the packed item. A dash indicates that no transit window is published for that service. Weight limits and available services vary, and delivery to remote areas may take longer. Production cartons need their own air- or sea-freight quotation; these parcel windows are neither a bulk-freight schedule nor a rate or delivery guarantee.

Source: Check RyanFulfil’s country transit table. For an unlisted destination, send the postcode with the route enquiry.

What to send for a freight quote

A useful request identifies the product reference or factory code, the configuration, quantity per model and destination country. Add the delivery address or port, preferred shipping basis, target date, and whether you need a sample, inspection or private-label packaging. If you have a nominated forwarder, include its receiving instructions and booking requirements.

For solar or battery products, name the exact model and configuration; the quotation states the transport and product documents for that shipment.

Samples and production orders

Samples are the first step: enquiry, a quotation naming the exact factory code and configuration, then the sample and your acceptance checks. A sample is quoted all-in. Any credit against a first production order applies only when it is agreed on the quotation.

After acceptance, the order proceeds through the proforma invoice, production, inspection and shipment. Third-party inspection is welcome. Your quotation states the production timing and shipment terms for the order.

What your quotation covers

The exact product, configuration, quantity and destination covered.
The shipping basis, production timing, applicable documents and after-sales terms.
The seller, invoice issuer, payment terms, currency and beneficiary account.
For samples, the quoted all-in amount and any agreed production-order credit.

Payment safeguard. Payment terms, the currency and the beneficiary account are issued once, on the proforma invoice, and are never changed by email; if an account changes, call the desk on a number you already hold before you pay.

Ask for a freight quotation

WhatsApp and email both reach the English-language sales desk. Include the product reference, configuration, quantity, destination and whether the request is for a sample or production order.

Notes

Parcel routes: to check a route the desk needs the quoted model, quantity, packing and packed weight, plus the destination postcode and the service or forwarder you want considered. Battery status and route acceptance are confirmed for that quotation. The table does not promise that a particular configuration can travel by a listed service or arrive within a listed window.

Documents: transport and product document coverage is confirmed per model and market.
