PROCUREMENT FULFILLMENT
China procurement fulfillment follows the order after supplier selection. Production milestones, changes, packing details and collection points must be visible before transport is booked. VG Shipping coordinates agreed follow-up and cargo-readiness tasks so exceptions can be escalated to the buyer. The supplier contract, payment approvals and commercial decisions remain under your control.
01 / PROCUREMENT FULFILLMENT
Start with the task needed to move an approved order toward collection.

Track agreed milestones, open supplier questions and authorised changes against the confirmed purchase order.
Discuss order follow-up
Collect packing status and proposed ready dates from each supplier, then flag gaps affecting collection and booking.
Discuss readiness coordination
Plan pickup points, contacts and collection sequence around the availability of goods from different suppliers.
Discuss supplier collection
Connect received cargo, package records, shipping marks and documents with an agreed warehouse and freight handover.
Discuss consolidation support02 / SERVICE SCOPE
Agree the records and approvals needed at the stage your goods have reached.
| Support task | When it helps | What to agree |
|---|---|---|
| Order follow-up | The purchase order is confirmed and supplier milestones need monitoring. | Milestones, reporting frequency, change authorisation and escalation contacts. |
| Readiness coordination | Ready dates or packing details are still uncertain. | Packing status, confirmed collection address and outstanding release conditions. |
| Supplier collection | Goods are available at one or several China locations. | Pickup contact, loading arrangements, collection sequence and receipt records. |
| Consolidation and handover | Received goods need to become a transport-ready shipment. | Package count, weight, dimensions, marks, documents and the agreed handover point. |
A supplier estimate is not a confirmed cargo-ready date. Transport availability, acceptance and charges are reviewed against the actual shipment and agreed scope.
03 / PREPARATION CHECKLIST
Use one current record for supplier follow-up and freight preparation.
List suppliers, order references, product specifications, quantities and the approved packaging version.
Record production dates, sample or inspection requirements, release conditions and who may approve changes.
Provide each address, contact, ready date, package count, gross weight and packed dimensions.
Confirm the receiving country and address, required delivery window and the warehouse or freight tasks requested.

05 / CONNECT THE HANDOVER
Early estimates support planning, but final package counts, gross weight and packed dimensions affect freight costs and acceptance. Link each received package to its supplier and order reference, record exceptions and confirm the release instruction before the international leg is arranged.
