Shipping Delivery Guide

Shipping & Delivery
How long does production usually take?

Production time depends on the product model, order quantity, and customization requirements.

Standard products generally have shorter lead times, while OEM projects, large infrastructure orders, or government tenders may require additional production planning.

To ensure timely delivery, production schedules are confirmed before manufacturing begins.

Which shipping methods are available?

We support multiple international shipping options based on order size and delivery requirements.

Available Shipping Methods

  • Sea Freight
  • Air Freight
  • Rail Freight (where applicable)
  • Express Courier for samples and documents

The most suitable shipping method is recommended according to project schedule, destination, and transportation cost.

What export documents are provided?

Complete export documentation helps simplify customs clearance and project acceptance.

Common documents include:

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading
  • Certificate of Origin (when required)
  • Product Test Reports
  • Product Certifications
  • User Manuals

Additional documents can be prepared according to destination country requirements.

How are solar street lights packaged?

Products are packaged to protect them during long-distance international transportation.

Depending on the product type, packaging may include reinforced cartons, protective foam, wooden pallets, or customized export packaging to minimize the risk of damage during shipping.

How is product quality verified before shipment?

Every order undergoes quality inspection before leaving the factory.

Typical inspections include:

  • Product appearance
  • Electrical performance
  • Lighting test
  • Battery charging and discharging
  • Controller operation
  • Packaging inspection
  • Quantity verification

Only products that pass inspection proceed to shipment.

Can shipments be delivered directly to Africa?

Yes.

We regularly arrange shipments to many African countries and support customers with export coordination and logistics documentation throughout the delivery process.

Delivery schedules vary depending on destination, shipping method, and customs clearance procedures.

Can multiple products be shipped in one container?

Yes.

Mixed container loading helps customers optimize shipping costs and purchase different products within the same order.

Typical combinations include:

Container planning is arranged to maximize loading efficiency and protect products during transportation.

This solution is particularly suitable for distributors, EPC contractors, and municipal projects purchasing multiple product categories at the same time.

 

Benefits

  • Lower shipping costs
  • Better container utilization
  • One shipment for multiple products
  • Simplified customs clearance
  • Easier project coordination
What should I check after receiving the goods?

After delivery, customers should inspect:

  • Product quantity
  • Packaging condition
  • Visible transport damage
  • Product labels
  • Accessories
  • Installation manuals

Any transportation issues should be reported as soon as possible so that assistance can be provided promptly.

Can I order samples before placing a bulk order?

Yes.

Sample orders allow customers to evaluate product quality, lighting performance, structural design, and installation requirements before confirming large-volume purchases.

Samples are commonly requested for:

  • Government tenders
  • Distributor evaluation
  • EPC project approval
  • Product testing
  • New market development

After the sample has been approved, production specifications will be aligned with the confirmed sample to ensure consistency.

Can you deliver products according to our project schedule?

Yes.

For infrastructure and commercial projects, production planning can be coordinated with the customer's construction schedule whenever possible.

Our team works with customers to organize manufacturing, inspection, and shipment according to project milestones, helping reduce storage costs and avoid unnecessary construction delays.

This is especially valuable for municipal road projects, industrial parks, and government-funded developments.

How do you ensure products arrive safely?

Every shipment is prepared according to international export standards to minimize the risk of damage during transportation.

Before shipment, products are protected with suitable packaging materials and inspected to ensure they are ready for long-distance transport.

Quality control includes:

  • Secure packaging
  • Moisture protection
  • Carton strength inspection
  • Pallet stability check
  • Container loading inspection
  • Final shipment verification
Can you support repeat orders and long-term supply?

Yes.

Many customers require multiple shipments over several months as their projects progress.

We support phased deliveries for distributors, EPC contractors, and government projects to help maintain a stable supply while matching construction schedules.

Long-term cooperation also enables more consistent production planning and product configuration management.
