Intro

The client purchased electronics and accessories from multiple suppliers in China. Sourcing and payment were handled internally, but after payment the shipment workflow got stuck. The client asked me to consolidate the purchases and ship the goods by air.
After I handled that first shipment, the client engaged me as a dedicated agent for a steady sourcing and purchasing workflow in China.

Outcome

I continue working as the client’s on-the-ground agent in China. Goods are shipped by air to the destination port, and the AWB copy is provided after dispatch for each shipment.
