What Does "Stock Arrived" Mean in Your Order?
Seeing the "Stock Arrived" status is an exciting moment in your shopping journey. It's the confirmation that your product has completed the first leg of its trip and is now safely in our possession, ready for your inspection and international shipping instructions. This status is the bridge between the local Chinese seller and your final international parcel.
From Seller to Warehouse: The Journey of Your Item
After you place an order through CNFans, our procurement team purchases the item on your behalf from the specified seller. The seller then ships the product using a domestic courier service to our dedicated processing facility. The time this takes can vary, typically ranging from 2 to 5 days, depending on the seller's location and processing speed. The "Stock Arrived" notification is triggered the moment our warehouse staff signs for the delivery and scans it into our system.
The Immediate Actions Taken by CNFans
Once your item is received, it isn't simply placed on a shelf. Our trained team carefully unpacks the parcel to verify it against your order details. We then proceed to the crucial Quality Control (QC) phase. High-resolution photographs are taken from multiple angles, capturing key details like logos, tags, materials, and any potential defects. These photos, along with measurements and weight information, are promptly uploaded to your order page, providing you with a complete and transparent view of your purchase before it ever leaves China.
How to Access and Interpret Your Quality Control (QC) Photos
The QC photos are your virtual eyes, allowing you to inspect your items from thousands of miles away. This feature is fundamental to the CNFans experience, ensuring you receive exactly what you envisioned. Properly reviewing these images is key to a successful and satisfying purchase.
Finding Your QC Pictures in the CNFans Dashboard
Accessing your photos is straightforward. Simply log into your CNFans account and navigate to your "My Orders" or "Warehouse" section. Find the specific item that has the "Stock Arrived" status. Clicking on it will reveal the detailed order page, where the QC photos will be prominently displayed. You can typically click on each image to view a larger, high-definition version.
What to Look For: A Checklist for Reviewing Your Items
When your QC photos are available, it's important to review them carefully. Pay close attention to details to ensure the item meets your expectations. A systematic check helps guarantee satisfaction and catch any potential issues early on.
| Aspect to Check | Key Details to Scrutinize |
|---|---|
| Overall Appearance | Does the color and design match the seller's photos? Is there any visible damage, staining, or discoloration? |
| Sizing & Measurements | Compare the provided measurements (e.g., bust, length, waist) with the seller's size chart and your own requirements. |
| Details & Logos | For branded items: Check the placement, spelling, and quality of any logos, tags, or embroidery. |
| Material & Stitching | Look for neat, consistent stitching. Does the material texture appear as expected from the seller's description? |
| Functionality | While not always testable, check for obvious issues with zippers, buttons, or clasps if visible. |
Your Options After Stock Arrived: What's the Next Step?
With your item inspected and verified via QC photos, you are now in the driver's seat. CNFans provides a flexible system that allows you to manage your items according to your specific needs and timeline. Whether you want to ship immediately or wait for more items, the choice is yours.
Approving Your Item for Storage
If you are satisfied with the QC photos and the item meets your expectations, no immediate action is required. The item is automatically accepted and will be moved to its designated spot in our secure warehouse. It will be safely stored, ready for when you decide to create a parcel for international shipping. This is ideal if you are waiting for other orders to arrive to consolidate them later.
Requesting an Exchange or Return
What if you spot a flaw, or the seller sent the wrong size or color? This is precisely why the QC process is so vital. If the item is not what you expected, you can easily initiate a return or exchange directly from the order page. Our team will communicate with the original seller on your behalf to process the request, handling all the domestic logistics for you. Please note that returns are subject to the original seller's policy.
Understanding Free Warehouse Storage
To give you maximum flexibility, CNFans offers a generous free storage period for every item that arrives at our warehouse. This allows you to shop from various sellers over time and wait until all your items have the "Stock Arrived CNFans" status. Once all your desired products are in storage, you can ship them together in a single, cost-effective parcel, saving significantly on international shipping fees.
From Warehouse to Your Doorstep: The Shipping Process
Once you are ready to ship, the process of moving your items from our warehouse to your home begins. CNFans offers a suite of tools and services designed to make international shipping simple, affordable, and secure. This is the final and most anticipated phase of your order.
Consolidating Multiple "Stock Arrived" Items into One Parcel
The primary advantage of using a shopping agent like CNFans is parcel consolidation. Instead of paying for multiple small international shipments from different sellers, you can group all your stored items into a single haul. From your warehouse page, simply select all the items you wish to ship, and our system will guide you through creating a new parcel. This dramatically reduces the overall cost of shipping.
Choosing the Right Shipping Line for Your Haul
We provide a wide array of shipping lines to suit every need and budget. Our shipping calculator will present you with different options, showing estimated costs, delivery times, and any restrictions for each carrier. Whether you prioritize speed (like DHL or FedEx) or value (like EMS or SAL), you can select the carrier that best fits your requirements for the specific parcel.
What is Rehearsal Shipping and Why Should You Use It?
Rehearsal shipping is a highly recommended value-added service. It involves our warehouse team professionally packing your selected items into a box, weighing and measuring the final parcel, and providing you with the *exact* shipping cost before you pay. This eliminates guesswork based on estimates and often results in cost savings, as it allows you to pay the precise amount required for your chosen shipping line without overpaying.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Warehouse Process
Navigating the agent shopping process can raise a few questions, especially for new users. Here are answers to some of the most common queries related to the "Stock Arrived" stage and warehouse procedures.
How long does it typically take for a seller to ship to the CNFans warehouse?
Domestic shipping time within China is generally quick. Most sellers dispatch items within 1-3 days of purchase. The transit time to our warehouse usually takes another 2-5 days. Therefore, you can typically expect your item's status to change to "Stock Arrived" within 3-8 days after you place your order with us, though this can vary based on the seller's efficiency.
What if my item is flawed or incorrect?
If your QC photos reveal a defect, the wrong size, or an incorrect item, you should immediately use the "Return/Exchange" option on your order page. Provide a brief description of the issue. Our customer service team will then contact the seller to arrange a resolution based on their return policy. We manage the entire domestic return process for you.
Can I ask for additional photos or measurements?
Yes, absolutely. We understand that our standard set of QC photos might not capture a specific detail you wish to see. You can request extra photos or specific measurements through our value-added services. Whether you need a close-up of a stitch, an insole measurement, or a photo of the item being worn by a model (for scale), our team is here to help you make an informed decision.
Maximizing Your Experience with Value-Added Services
Beyond the standard process, CNFans offers several optional services at the warehouse stage. These are designed to further enhance the security of your parcel, customize your items, and provide an even better shipping experience.
Parcel Reinforcement and Protection
For valuable or fragile items, you may want to add extra protection. We offer services like corner protection for boxes, bubble wrap for delicate goods, and waterproof wrapping for the entire parcel. These measures ensure your items are as secure as possible for the long international journey, providing valuable peace of mind.
Tag Removal and Other Customizations
To prepare your items for their final destination, you can request that our team remove any tags, labels, or original shoeboxes (to save on volumetric weight). This is a popular option for customers who want to reduce parcel weight and size, which can lead to lower shipping costs. Any specific packing instructions can often be accommodated to tailor the parcel to your exact preferences.
