Does VELA arrange international shipping from China?

VELA Home Global can recommend freight forwarders and coordinate China-side shipment preparation with the provider selected by the client. This can include cargo booking communication, packing information, container-loading arrangements, commercial invoices, packing lists and export paperwork. The international freight contract, carrier performance, transit delays, destination customs events and transport damage remain the logistics provider’s responsibility.
