No one could explain it.įinally, the Chinese trading company heard back from the shipper on their end that my container had been offloaded in South Korea and put on a second container ship – something about the water in port not being deep enough. No one knew where it went and I spent several days calling the forwarding company, the logistics company, my customs broker, and the Chinese trading company. The only problem was that my truck was no longer on it. It sat around for another couple weeks until it made it into a container and onto a boat, then six weeks later, the boat arrived in Miami. At first all went well, and a couple weeks after paying, my truck was headed to the port. The shipping process seemed to take forever. My truck all boxed up at the factory and ready for a voyage to the New World! Shipping an electric truck from China
BLACK CABOODLE PLUS
Those upgrades cost me around $1,500 on top of the base price, plus I had to pay an outrageous $2,200 sea shipping rate, but at least my truck was on its way to me now. I was able to spec the truck with a hydraulic dumping bed, air conditioning, and a giant (for this small truck) 6 kWh lithium-ion battery. So I started talking with the trading company (a little outfit known as ChangLi that also supplies a few importers in the US). It was a bit small, but had a lot of charm. And you had to pay extra for batteries, shipping, etc.īut glossing over all those hiccups, the truck looked as silly as it did awesome. I found a $2,000 electric truck that looked perfect, except that it was about 2:3 scale. I originally found the truck while perusing Alibaba in search of a weekly nugget of gold for my Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week column. Well, now I can finally answer, “Yes!” and share with you exactly what I received.īut first, a tiny bit of background. I know this because I’ve gotten emails almost daily ever since, asking if my Chinese electric pickup truck has arrived (with some humorously calling it my F-50). It is always best to get all you need in one go.Some readers may recall that a few months ago I bought a cheap electric mini-truck on Alibaba. If I buy a fabric and need more later will the colour be exactly the same?Ĭolours can vary slightly from batch to batch so we cannot guarantee a true colour match. It is best to order your required fabric as soon as possible after receiving and being happy with your sample. However if we get a new batch in stock after you have received your sample we cannot guarantee an exact match. We will only send out samples which match what is held in stock. But colours do vary slightly from shipment to shipment due to dye level fluctuation. Will the fabric I buy later match the samples exactly? We strongly suggest purchasing a sample so you can feel the quality of the fabric in your hands. Unsure about what colour to get? Not sure how the fabric will feel or want to compare weight? If you really need to wash it at a higher temperature use a gentle setting. As well as keeping your bills down and helping the environment, washing on a cool setting helps keep the colours from fading. This helps prevent other items rubbing up against your fabric bobbling and snagging the fibres.ģ) Wash at 30. Most fabrics have some shrinkage on first wash but it is usually under 10%.Ģ) Turn your item inside out. This allows the natural fibres to shrink before you cut them out rather than after you’ve first worn them. To ensure your fabric stays looking good we recommend the following laundry care:ġ) Prewash fabrics before making your items.
