A Comprehensive Guide to Consolidated Shipping of Food Toys/Miniature Toys to Hong Kong/Taiwan: Reinforcement of Fragile Items + Practical Steps
I. Why should food toys and miniature toys be selected for collection and transportation?
When purchasing food toys (including food accessories) and miniature toys online from the Chinese mainland and shipping them directly to Hong Kong or Taiwan, there are common pitfalls:
- Fragile: Small parts (mini tableware, resin accessories) are prone to breakage, and direct mail delivery lacks reinforcement.
- Difficult customs clearance: Food and toys are sensitive goods. If not declared, they are likely to be detained.
- High shipping cost: The shipping cost for a single package may exceed the price of the goods. Consolidated shipping can save 30% to 60%.
Professional consolidated shipping can solve: reinforcement of fragile items, customs clearance of sensitive goods, and free storage for 90 days. It is suitable for collectors to send in bulk.
