Shipping Policy
Aokelang ships commercial floor machines from our factory in Hefei, China, to distributors and businesses worldwide, including the USA, UK, Germany and UAE. This Shipping Policy explains how orders are produced, packed, shipped and delivered, and what you can expect at each stage.
1. Order Processing
Every order follows these steps before shipping:
- Quotation confirmed with model, quantity, configuration and shipping terms
- Proforma invoice issued and deposit received
- OEM details approved (logo, colours, labels, packaging), if applicable
- Production scheduled and the estimated ship date confirmed by email
Production lead time depends on the model and order quantity and is stated in your quotation.
2. Minimum Order Quantity
Our minimum order quantities are:
- Distributor orders: 10 units per model
- OEM and private-label orders: 50 units per model
- Sample orders: a single machine can be ordered first to test quality
Different models can be combined in one shipment to fill a container
3. Shipping Terms
We offer the following shipping terms:
- FOB (Free On Board): we deliver the goods to the port named in your quotation; you arrange and pay for sea freight and insurance from there.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): we arrange sea freight and cargo insurance to your destination port.
Import duties, taxes, customs clearance and delivery from the destination port are the buyer’s responsibility unless agreed otherwise in writing.
4. Estimated Transit Times
Typical port-to-port sea freight times from China are:
- USA West Coast: 12–20 days
- USA East Coast: 26–35 days
- United Kingdom and Germany: 28–50 days, depending on shipping route
- United Arab Emirates: 18–26 days
These are estimates from the shipping line’s schedule. Port congestion, weather, customs inspections and route changes can cause delays outside our control.
5. Packaging
All machines are packed for long-distance sea freight:
- Each machine is secured on a wooden pallet or in a wooden crate
- Batteries are packed and labelled according to transport regulations
- Each package is marked with the model, quantity and shipping marks

Custom packaging and labelling are available for OEM orders.
6. Inspection Before Shipment
Every machine is tested before packing. In addition, buyers can choose:
