Your total cost is composed of only three parts:<br \/>\n1. <strong>Product Cost:<\/strong> The actual price of the item on the Chinese website.<br \/>\n2. <strong>Service Fee:<\/strong> A small percentage of the product cost, which covers our services like purchasing, communication, inspection, and consolidation.<br \/>\n3. <strong>International Shipping Fee:<\/strong> The cost charged by the carrier (e.g., DHL, EMS) to ship the final consolidated parcel to you.<br \/>\nThere are absolutely no hidden charges.
