The Linktop Cargo desk usually answers within one working day.

Linktop Cargo is an authorised international sales channel for Guangzhou Link-Top International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd. (广州市连达国际货运代理有限公司). Established in 2007.

Send the origin and destination, commodity, package count, packed gross weight, dimensions, preferred mode and delivery scope. Add a requested arrival date or any special handling needs. The shipping enquiry builder keeps these details together.

LCL shares container space with other shipments. FCL books a container for one shipper’s cargo. Compare both options using the same packed goods, destination and handling scope; see Maersk’s ocean freight guide.

DDP means Delivered Duty Paid. Under this trade term, the seller handles import clearance and duty to the agreed destination; name the place and confirm the full service scope before booking. Read the Incoterms comparison and ICC’s Incoterms 2020 overview.

Yes. Sea DDP is an option to discuss for your specific cargo and destination. Ask for a written quote stating the agreed customs, duty, tax and delivery responsibilities, included charges and cargo acceptance.

Yes. Send the origin, destination port, container requirement and goods to request a quote. Agree cargo acceptance, port handling and collection responsibilities in the written quotation.

Ask about dedicated lines to Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia and South America. Give your exact country, postcode, goods and shipping mode.

You can enquire about FBA forwarding and warehousing. Share the cartons and receiving instructions, and specify any storage or extra handling you need quoted.

Rates and timing are quoted for your cargo, packing, route and delivery scope. Ask for quote validity, included and excluded charges, the proposed schedule and the point from which timing is counted. No general website rate or transit window replaces your written quote.

The request stays as a draft until you send it. Open it in WhatsApp or email, or copy the text, check the recipient and shipment details, then send through that app.

Flag the goods and handling requirements in your enquiry. Cargo acceptance and any documents needed are confirmed for the proposed route and service before booking.

Compare the agreed trade term and named place, transport responsibilities, customs, duties and taxes, and final delivery. Risk and costs can transfer at different points. See the Incoterms guide and check the responsibilities in your written quotation.

Start with your commercial invoice, packing list, goods description and importer details. The transport documents and any battery or origin information depend on the cargo and destination. Use the shipping documents checklist to list what you hold and what still needs confirmation.

Cargo insurance must be separately confirmed; carrier liability is not the same as cargo cover. Ask who arranges any cover, the insured value, exclusions and claim terms. See the CIF insurance explanation when comparing a sea-freight trade term.

The update contact and tracking arrangement belong in your shipment instructions. Ask the desk which reference applies to the booked service, who sends status updates and how to report an exception.

Keep the booking reference, delivery records, photos and packing evidence. Report the problem through the contact agreed for your shipment, within the service’s notification deadline. Review the applicable carrier and insurance claim terms and confirm any extra handling charges.
