Hi all, I want to import a 5kw inverter from China through Alibaba. I was quoted a good price but was then told I needed a wooden box for extra protection for $100USD. This increases the weight from 21kg to 40kg which doubles the shipping cost. Can anyone with previous experience please advise if this is really necessary for an Air Freight item.
Is there a cheaper solution. I would have thought insurance would be a cheaper option at 3% of goods value. Any advice in this area appreciated. Thanks ?.
