Hello Nairalander, please I need your knowledge and experience on the importation of heavy machine from Alibaba. As I intend to buy a rhinestone machine (one only) from there, which is worth almost 500k,

I am used to placing orders from aliexpress(light items) which I do receive on my doorstep. But I have never used alibaba before. My Question is if I will require a clearing agent for a machine size of a big grinding machine or photocopier to receive the delivery or it will just be delivered the same way as lighter items, with me sitting back at home and tracking it. Thank you for your detailed reply.

Zhul001, the need for a clearing agent is very important. Even a procurements agency will guide You more and help effect payment etc.

Do consult me when you're ready to purchase as We procure, we ship and we deliver.

PS> Light items on aliexpress do not go through much checks with customs cos the scanners are quick to know content of which some can be gifts.
