Service planning details
Keep product claims and approved packaging together.
Use the actual materials, maker/supplier references and intended markets to scope preparation. A packed product or finished bundle still needs its own evidence review.
- Retain relevant brand/artwork authorisation and the agreed product specification.
- Approve labels, inserts and bundle components before repeat packing.
- Review changes to materials, claims or components with the responsible party.
Confirm the seller, appointed specialist and warehouse responsibilities separately. Agreed physical checks and prep records support the handoff; testing and regulatory review require a separately confirmed scope.
Prepare sets and presentation before dispatch
Use an approved product and packing brief to keep variants, components, and finished sets consistent. Receiving and preparation in Guangzhou can be connected to storage or an agreed customer-order workflow.
Define the finished pack
- For kits and sets, list every component and the quantity needed per finished SKU.
- For fragile items, agree cushioning, separators, and the approved outer pack.
- For branded presentation, provide packaging artwork and insert placement instructions.
- For order-specific items, identify the maker’s completed work and the warehouse packing steps.
What’s included
- Receive supplier deliveries and reconcile SKUs, variants, and quantities.
- Complete agreed product and packaging checks; report exceptions for your approval.
- Apply seller-provided labels, assemble approved bundles, and add agreed protective or branded packaging.
- Organize prepared stock for storage, consolidation, or an approved outbound handoff.
Choose your fulfillment route
Tell us whether you need a bulk inventory shipment to an agreed receiving address or individual customer-order dispatch from Guangzhou. Destination-country stock and handling are scoped separately. Confirm the selling market, receiving instructions, and dispatch schedule before release.
Send the preparation brief
Provide SKU and quantity lists, supplier details, product dimensions, label files, packing instructions, inspection criteria, and destination. Include any bundles, inserts, or special handling needs. Product eligibility and seller-account requirements remain your responsibility; share the instructions applicable to your inventory.
How the workflow runs
- Confirm the preparation scope, materials, and quote.
- Receive inventory and review agreed checks.
- Approve exceptions, packaging, and stock records.
- Release prepared stock through the agreed route.
Records to approve before release
Agree the SKU quantities, component or bundle counts, packing photos where requested, and carton dimensions and weights. Confirm which stock is on hold, which stock is approved, and who authorizes outbound release.
Plan your quote
The scope depends on receiving volume, inspections, labels, packaging materials, bundle assembly, storage time, and transport. Share these details for a project quote.

Questions to settle before you send stock
Use these questions to scope your China-to-US, UK or European workflow. Availability, charges and handling arrangements are confirmed for your products and destination.
Products and packaging
Can you prepare kits, sets and fragile items?
Provide a component list, quantities per finished set, variant rules and protective packing instructions. Agree the checks and a sample pack before assembling repeat sets. Fragile-product materials and handling are quoted for the item.
Can you add branded inserts or gift packaging?
Share artwork, material dimensions, insertion rules and the desired finished presentation. Confirm material sourcing, minimum quantities, sample approval and storage needs. Gift notes or order-specific inserts require an agreed order-data workflow.
How do you handle personalized or made-to-order items?
Tell us which work is completed by your maker and which warehouse steps remain. Identify each order-specific variant and approval requirement. Personalization, production and artwork changes need a separately confirmed scope before orders are accepted for that work.
Selling scope and first orders
Does preparation determine whether my products can be listed on Etsy?
Warehouse preparation covers the handling agreed in your brief. You remain responsible for your listings, product eligibility and seller-account obligations. Supply your own approved product and packaging instructions before stock is prepared.
Can prepared items ship directly to customers?
Customer-order dispatch from Guangzhou can be scoped using destination countries, representative orders and packed dimensions and weights. Agree order transfer, picking rules, packaging approval and tracking updates. Separate processing estimates from carrier transit estimates.
Can I begin with a sample or small batch?
Send SKU quantities, a component list and representative order details. Ask the team to confirm minimum charges, materials and sample preparation scope. Approve the agreed sample before releasing a larger batch.
