Implemented cases of sea delivery from China

  • Case 1
  • Case 2
  • Case 3
  • Case 4
Case
  • Direction: China-Ukraine
  • Cargo: artificial hair

The client agreed to give us their cargo only under the condition that the boxes would not be in contact with the walls of the container. Our logisticians believe there are no tasks that cannot be completed, only those that require more time. We placed another product on the sides to fulfill this requirement, leaving space on top. 

This resulted in a successful delivery, and the client was satisfied with our service. 

We welcome our clients' complex and unique requests and will do our best to fulfill their wishes.

Case
  • Direction: China - Ukraine
  • Cargo: Machine

Pain: Unexpected refusal of the supplier to deliver the machine from China and lack of experience in customs clearance. What to do if the supplier refused to deliver?

Solution: DiFFreight provided detailed consultation, took over the organization of transportation and customs clearance, ensuring a successful delivery without stress for the client.

Our company ordered a machine in China. The supplier took responsibility for delivering the goods to Ukraine. However, when the machine was ready, the supplier refused to deliver it on its own. We were confused, because we did not deal with delivery and packages of documents for official customs clearance. Fortunately, we found DiFFreight on the Internet, who advised us on how to act in our difficult circumstances. We trusted the specialists, and what was on the level of a nervous breakdown ended with a happy ending! We sincerely recommend the logistics company DiFFreight!
Case
  • Direction: China - Ukraine
  • Cargo: Auto body parts

Pain: The cargo was delayed in the warehouse in China for a month due to late shipment, which created a risk to the delivery time. How to solve the delay of the cargo, which was in the warehouse in China for a month?

Solution: DiFFreight offered a solution in the form of air freight at sea rates, which allowed to deliver the cargo quickly and at a favorable price.

We made several deliveries from China. An unpleasant situation arose when the cargo was not sent for some reason and was in a warehouse in China for a month. The cargo was supposed to be delivered by sea. The employees offered us a solution: at the sea rate, the cargo was delivered by air. That is, in general, the issue was resolved. Regarding the cost of delivery and the competence of the employees, everything is ok.
Case
  • Direction: China - Ukraine
  • Cargo: Fittings cylinder locks

Pain: The need to find a reliable carrier that responds quickly to requests, processes payments promptly, and provides safe delivery at a favorable price. How to ensure fast and safe delivery of an order from China at the best price?

Solution: DiFFreight offers fast communication with customers, uninterrupted service even in the absence of a manager, efficient payment processing, and delivery at an affordable price, which makes the cooperation process hassle-free and comfortable for customers.

In the process of ordering goods, and I want to transport them with this carrier. I am delighted with the team, they respond very quickly, they connect their colleagues at the time of their absence. (They warn that my manager will not be there, so I can contact him...) A big plus is that I made a payment in China through this company, they said that it would take 3 days, and the payment arrived in China the next day. Of all the carriers I found, this company is the cheapest. Special thanks to the manager Anastasia 😉 I want to add my review, since I have already received my order from China Anastasia and Vadim, I want to thank you for the work done. I am satisfied with the cooperation with you. It is very nice that there were no moments during delivery. You are the best. Anastasia, you have been in charge of this business from the very beginning, thank you for every minute allocated to me. Next time I will definitely cooperate with you. Best regards, Pavlo.
