As with transactions on any eCommerce websites, there will always be a small element of risk. In order to minimize that, every item that arrives at the China logistics will be inspected**, and it is estimated that around 90% of all visibly defective items are discovered before they are sent to Singapore.
*Tip：You can opt to skip inspection for your parcel and SAVE 50% on Service fee, or have value added service such as photo taking or wooden crate packing.
