Hello all,
I'm importing this batch of products from China to Germany and as you already know, shipping is super expensive. My supplier is offering a shipping method that cost 6k USD instead of the 10k USD that my forwarder is asking for sea shipment. But the way of the shipping is peculiar and I don't know whether the shipping time is as they promise. They promise 60 days shipping in total. My supplier says that it's mainly by truck and it goes from China to Poland by truck, then to Hungary for Customs clearance and then to Germany via DPD.
Now my question is to you guys, do you have any experience with this kind of shipping method and is it to be trusted? Especially the lead time I'm worried about and since it's as fast as sea shipping it might be worth it if its true what they promise. Lead time is important because I will be out of inventory soon.
The supplier itself can be trusted.
Thanks in advance.
@Walter Hay, maybe you can chime in too?
