Unlike some China sourcing agents who hide margins in the product price or exchange rate, SinoYak applies a 100% transparent pricing policy. You know exactly what you pay. To understand the process, read our guide on how to buy on 1688 from overseas.
You pay the local Chinese factory price (in Yuans / RMB). We apply the real exchange rate of the day (no hidden margin).
Our commission is fixed: **6% of the product price**. This includes purchasing in China with our Alipay accounts, receiving the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse, and customer service. No subscription fees, no hidden costs.
Freight is calculated by real or volumetric weight (whichever is higher). Here are our estimated rates for shipping to the US, UK, Australia, and Europe:
| Carrier | Est. Delivery | Est. Price (1st kg) |
|---|---|---|
| China Post / Yanwen (Eco) | 10 to 15 days | ~ $15.00 |
| 4PX / EMS (Standard) | 8 to 12 days | ~ $21.00 |
| DHL / UPS (Express) | 5 to 7 days | ~ $40.00 |
*Note: Volumetric weight is calculated as (Length x Width x Height) / 5000. Parcels over 1 kg increase in price per 100g. Customs duties and import taxes (like VAT in Europe or Section 321 limits in the US) are the buyer's responsibility.*
Freight has a quirk: the first kilogram is expensive (handling fees), but each additional kilogram is much cheaper. To get the cheapest shipping rate possible, you must consolidate your purchases! With our warehouse in China, you can buy 5 items from 5 different suppliers, and we pack them into one single box.
Example with China Post (Eco):
📦 For a 1 kg parcel = ~$15.00 (which is $15.00 / kg)
📦 For a 10 kg parcel = ~$65.00 (which is $6.50 / kg)
👉 Result: By buying 10 kg instead of 1 kg, you divide your shipping cost by more than half! This is the true advantage of a sourcing agent.
