Frequently asked questions
Why is payment split into two instalments?
The 70% paid at order confirms the purchase and starts production. The remaining 30% is only due once the vehicle arrives at the destination port and has been inspected — you never pay in full for a vehicle you haven't received yet.
What payment methods are accepted?
Payment details are shared with you when your quote is prepared.TODO CMEX
How long between order and delivery?
Allow 10 to 12 weeks in total: 2 weeks of delivery in China, then 8 to 10 weeks of sea transport to the destination port. The exact lead time for your port is given in your quote.
Where is the vehicle delivered?
