📦 Why we need your supplier’s contact information

1. 🏷️ Correct labeling (this is critical)

Every package needs to be labeled properly before it leaves the supplier.

By contacting your supplier directly, we can:

• Send the correct shipping labels

• Ensure labels are printed and attached to each carton

• Avoid lost or misidentified cargo

👉 If labeling is wrong or missing, your shipment can be delayed or mixed with someone else’s goods.

2. 📦 Proper packaging for sea freight

Not all suppliers package goods for international sea shipping the right way.

When we speak with them directly, we can:

• Confirm strong, export-ready packaging

• Ensure items are secured for long transit (8 weeks at sea)

• Prevent damage from stacking, moisture, and handling

👉 This step helps reduce the risk of damaged goods when your shipment arrives in Antigua.

3. 🚢 Making sure your goods can be shipped

Some items have restrictions or special requirements.

By checking with your supplier, we can:

• Confirm the goods are within the scope of what we ship

• Identify any restricted or dangerous items early

•Avoid delays, fines, or rejected cargo

👉 It’s much easier to fix issues before shipping than after the cargo arrives to our warehouse .

4. 💬 Faster communication (WeChat makes it easier)

Most suppliers in China use platforms like WeChat for daily communication.

Having their WeChat ID allows us to:

• Get quick responses

•Share labels and instructions instantly

•Resolve issues in real-time

👉 This keeps everything moving without unnecessary delays.

✅ The bottom line

Getting your supplier’s contact information allows us to:

• Ensure accurate labeling

• Confirm proper packaging

• Verify your goods are ready and approved for shipment

It’s a simple step that prevents costly mistakes and keeps your shipment on track from China to Antigua.
