Can I Ship Alibaba Purchases to Antigua?
Yes — you can absolutely ship your Alibaba purchases to Antigua.
Many businesses and individuals in Antigua are buying directly from suppliers on Alibaba to reduce costs and access a wider range of products. The real question isn’t can you ship — it’s how to ship correctly and cost-effectively to Antigua.
That’s where we at China2Dadli.com come in.

Understanding Shipping Terms (EXW, FOB, CIF)
When you buy from an Alibaba supplier, they will usually quote you under one of these shipping terms:
EXW (Ex Works)
•You are responsible for picking up the goods from the supplier’s factory.
•You handle all local China transport, export paperwork, and shipping.
•This gives you maximum control, but you need a freight forwarder in China (like us).
FOB (Free On Board)
•The supplier delivers the goods to a China port.
•They handle export clearance.
•Once the cargo is loaded onto the vessel, responsibility transfers to you.
•You then handle the sea freight and everything after that.
CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight)
•The supplier arranges shipping to Antigua.
•They include freight and insurance in the price.
•While this sounds convenient, it often results in higher costs and less control once the shipment arrives.
For customers in Antigua, EXW or FOB with your own freight forwarder usually provides better transparency and cost control.
