Frequently Asked Questions
See frequently asked questions below.
What is the minimum order quantity for Zimbabwe delivery?
We recommend minimum 1 metric ton for trial orders. A 20ft container holds approximately 18-22 metric tons of standard fasteners, which is the most cost-efficient shipping option. For small quantities under 500kg, air freight to Harare can be arranged at higher cost.
How long does shipping from China to Zimbabwe take?
Sea freight from China to Beira port takes 14-20 days depending on departure port. After that, Beira clearance is 3-5 days, and road transit to Harare is typically 10-14 days. Total: 25-35 days from China port to Zimbabwe warehouse.
Can you ship to cities outside Harare?
Yes. We deliver to all major Zimbabwe cities including Bulawayo, Mutare, Gweru, Kwekwe, and directly to mine sites in Mvuma, Kadoma, and Chegutu. Remote site delivery may incur additional transport costs.
What standards do Zimbabwe fasteners need to meet?
Zimbabwe commonly references British Standards (BS) and ISO standards. Mining projects often require SABS certification reference or specific project certifications. We can supply fasteners with relevant test certificates and documentation. For government projects, confirm specific standards in the tender documents.
How do I make payment from Zimbabwe?
Standard method is USD wire transfer (T/T) to our Hong Kong or UAE bank account. For orders over USD 20,000, we can discuss 30/70 or 50/50 payment terms for verified clients. All bank transfer fees are the sender's responsibility.
Do you provide samples before bulk order?
Yes. We can send samples (1-5kg) by DHL/FedEx for quality verification before bulk order. Sample cost and express shipping are charged separately. For orders over USD 5,000, sample cost can be credited against bulk order.
