Payment terms
Bank transfer in USD, terms fixed on the proforma invoice, and nothing is collected on this website. Here is exactly how an order gets paid, and why the account number is not printed on this page.
What we accept
| Method | Currency | When we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer (T/T) | USD | The standard for every export order. Full beneficiary details are on the proforma invoice. |
| Domestic bank transfer | CNY | For customers billing inside China. A VAT invoice is issued. |
| Card, PayPal, L/C, online checkout | — | Not offered. Payment is by bank transfer only, and no payment is collected on this site at any point. |
Why the account number is not on this page
A permanently published bank account is the single easiest thing for an invoice-fraud gang to copy. We have seen fake proforma invoices carrying a real supplier's name, address and letterhead, with one field changed: the account. So we do not print ours on an open web page.
Every proforma invoice we issue carries the full beneficiary block — account name, bank, SWIFT/BIC and account number — and matches it to the quotation reference you already hold. If any bank detail ever changes, it will never arrive by email alone: we will confirm it on a call or through a channel you already know.
Payment schedule
The split depends on whether the parts exist yet, and it is written on the proforma invoice before you commit:
| Order type | What triggers it | Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Stock items | Catalogue parts we hold, industrial grade | Stated on the proforma invoice; goods dispatch after funds clear. |
| Built to order | AEC-Q101 (-H) versions, off-catalogue part numbers | Deposit against production, balance before dispatch — the split is on the invoice. |
This is deliberately not a number on a web page. Lead time and deposit move with the production slot, and a figure published here would be wrong for half the orders that read it.
Currency, invoicing and what you receive
- Quotations and invoices are issued in USD. Invoicing in EUR or CNY can be discussed per order.
- Quotes are valid 30 days from issue, FOB Shenzhen unless stated otherwise.
- Documents: proforma invoice (PI) → commercial invoice (CI) + packing list (PL) with the shipment.
- Customs declaration copy for the China export leg is available on request.
What happens after you pay
- Same or next business day — we confirm the funds have landed and send you the confirmation.
- Stock orders ship within the lead time printed on the PI; built-to-order parts start their production slot.
- You get the tracking number (AWB or B/L) the day the goods leave Shenzhen.
- Commercial invoice and packing list travel with the goods; the originals can be couriered if your customs broker needs them.
Questions we get on every first order
Can we pay from a company account in a different country than the delivery address?
Yes, and it is common — a German entity buying for a plant in Slovakia, for example. Tell us both addresses on the RFQ so the commercial invoice and the customs declaration line up.
Do you charge for the bank transfer?
No. We do not add a handling fee. What you may see is your own bank's outgoing charge, and any intermediary bank charge on the way — those sit outside China and are the remitter's under the standard SHA arrangement. If you need OUR (all charges to us), say so on the RFQ and it goes into the quotation.
Can we pay after the goods arrive?
Not on a first order. Open account terms are something we extend to customers we have shipped to repeatedly, and they are agreed in writing rather than set by a web page.
Is there a minimum order value?
No fixed floor, but freight decides the economics on small orders. On an order of a kilo or two the courier charge can come close to the value of the parts themselves, so we will tell you when combining lines or waiting for a consolidated shipment is the cheaper route.
