Q. Can you deliver my products in plain packaging, with no marks on the parts inside?
A: Yes, most of our clients are manufacturers and wholesale distributors who have their own brand name and part numbers. Your products will be sent out to you completely unmarked and in plain packaging so that you can personalise and re-package them as you wish.
Q: How do I deal with importing the products? Do I need to worry about Customs?
A: We handle everything ourselves and take care of the entire transaction for you. It is important to get this right as making even small mistakes can cause delays and incur costly storage fees. We import the goods, quality check them once they arrive at our base in Leicester and then deliver them to your door.
Q: I have found a Gold Member manufacturer on alibaba.com. Why should I choose your company instead of them?
A: Doing research before choosing a company to work with is essential. Alibaba and other B2B sites are paid listing sites, which means that they advertise the good, bad, cheap, expensive and everything in between. Working with an overseas supplier is so much more than finding out whether a factory has passed basic background checks or has a particular member status on these sites. The Woodstock Group have a proven track record and a wealth of experience in dealing with every aspect of a transaction. Take a look at our Galleries to see examples of our high-quality products. We work tirelessly to ensure that we have solutions to tackle any problems that arise with our suppliers so that you are guaranteed a risk-free product delivered directly to your door.
Q: How long will it take to receive my product?
A: It varies from product to product. For simple, turned components the manufacturing timescale would be aproximately 7-10 days. If we have to make dies and tools, for example casting or forging dies, then it could take aproximately 4-6 weeks. It usually takes up to 18 days to transit the products from India to the UK. For an accurate timescale, please contact us with your requirements. If you need to receive your product quickly, we will be more than happy to produce a quote for either Air Cargo or a courier.
