Shipping & Delivery Policy

GlobalSourcing does not operate its own fleet or warehouses. Instead, we coordinate with a vetted network of freight forwarders, customs brokers, and last-mile carriers. We manage the logistics workflow on your behalf, providing real-time tracking and proactive communication throughout the shipping journey.

We currently support shipments from and to the following regions:

Transit times vary by origin, destination, and shipping mode selected. The following are standard estimates:

* Note: These are estimated transit times from departure port/airport. Production lead time is separate and agreed upon in your RFQ.

Freight costs are calculated based on shipment volume, weight, origin-destination pair, and chosen shipping mode. Costs are provided as part of your supplier quotation and confirmed before order placement.

• Sea freight: quoted per CBM (cubic meter) or per container (FCL/LCL).
• Air freight: quoted per kilogram (chargeable weight).
• Road freight: quoted per load or per pallet depending on volume.
• Insurance coverage is available at an additional cost and is recommended for high-value shipments.

The buyer is responsible for all customs duties, import taxes, VAT, and other government-imposed fees applicable in the destination country. GlobalSourcing can assist with customs documentation preparation and connect you with licensed customs brokers, but ultimate responsibility for compliance rests with the importer of record.

While we strive to meet all committed delivery timelines, certain events beyond our control may cause delays:

• Port congestion, vessel schedule changes, or adverse weather conditions affecting sea freight.
• Customs holds, document discrepancies, or regulatory inspections at origin or destination.
• Force majeure events including natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, or civil unrest.
