6. Purchase and seller communication

CNCartGo checks available details, purchases from the seller and receives eligible parcels at the China warehouse. Stock, variants and domestic tracking may change.

The warehouse records the parcel and eligible items can receive visible-condition inspection and QC photos. Photos do not replace specialist authentication or safety certification. Review Warehouse Address and Prohibited Items.

8. Consolidate the parcel

Check that expected parcels have arrived, request consolidation where allowed, provide accurate recipient and customs information, and ask about reinforcement or special packing before payment.

9. Calculate, pay and track shipping

Open the Global Logistics Calculator, enter destination and parcel details, compare available routes, pay the international-shipping stage and follow tracking updates.
