6 source-near hubs in China — 1 self-operated Shenzhen flagship + 5 verified partner hubs in Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, and Yiwu. $0.50/CBM/day after 30 days free storage, $0.80 per order pick & pack, 99.5% inventory accuracy, 5-9 day DDP to US/UK/EU across 220+ countries.
AlleasySCM operates 6 China fulfillment centers. The hub network combines 1 self-operated Shenzhen flagship with 5 verified partner hubs in Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, and Yiwu. The total network spans 10,000+ m². Every hub offers the same core stack: pick & pack, FBA prep, labeling, kitting, returns, and DDP shipping.
Shenzhen is the network anchor because 70% of China’s cross-border export manufacturing sits within a 1-hour drive of the Shenzhen flagship — a sourcing and fulfillment radius unmatched by coastal hubs like Shanghai or Ningbo. The 5 partner hubs are positioned to absorb capacity peaks (Q4, Prime Day, Black Friday) and to handle specialized cargo: Huizhou is Class-9 dangerous goods certified, Foshan has a 3,000+ m² staging yard for bulky items, and Yiwu is the small commodities hub for 1-2 kg e-commerce parcels.
2,000+ m². The network anchor and the primary hub for general cross-border e-commerce parcels. Pick & pack, FBA prep, labeling, kitting, returns, DDP shipping.
1,200+ m². The Pearl River Delta air-cargo gateway. Used for time-sensitive air DDP shipments and consolidation for South China suppliers.
3,000+ m² staging yard. The bulky goods hub for furniture, home appliances, and oversized items that won't fit in standard racking.
2,000+ m². The mid-tier overflow hub for Q4, Prime Day, and Black Friday peak capacity. Stockpiles inventory for surge demand.
2,500+ m². The only Class-9 dangerous goods certified hub in the network. Handles lithium batteries, magnets, aerosols, and flammable liquids.
Small commodities hub for 1-2 kg e-commerce parcels. The fastest lane for Yiwu-market sourced inventory (1.4M+ SKUs from 75,000+ booths).
AlleasySCM China fulfillment center pricing in 2026 has 4 service lines: storage, pick & pack, receiving, and value-added services. The pricing model is itemized per unit / per order / per CBM with no setup fees, no minimum monthly commitments, and no per-platform fees. The 5% aged-inventory buffer is built into the storage formula so sellers aren’t charged full storage for slow-movers that ship within 30 days.

The 4 core services at every China fulfillment center in the network are pick & pack, FBA prep, DDP shipping, and returns. Each hub runs the same SOP and the same carrier integrations, so a seller shipping from Shenzhen or Yiwu gets the same operational outcome. The table below maps each service to its typical user and the cross-sell into DDP shipping or Shopify order fulfillment.
| Service | What's included | Typical user | Cross-sell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pick & pack | Cartonization, picking, packing, labeling, manifest | Shopify, TikTok Shop, DTC sellers | Multi-channel fulfillment |
| FBA prep | FNSKU labeling, poly bag, carton label, master case | Amazon FBA sellers (USCA01, USNJ03, USGA, USTX) | China-to-FBA consolidation |
| DDP shipping | Pre-paid duties + VAT, customs broker, last-mile | Cross-border e-commerce to US/UK/EU | Air DDP, sea DDP, China-Europe rail |
| Returns | Inspection, grading, relisting, removal, disposal | Sellers with 5-25% return rate (Apparel, Electronics) | Returns consolidation |
A warehouse stores inventory; a fulfillment center stores inventory AND runs the operational stack. Most 3PLs in China offer “warehousing” as a line item but the actual pick & pack, FBA prep, and DDP shipping are quoted separately or outsourced. AlleasySCM runs the 4 core services in-house at every hub, with a single point of contact for the seller and a single invoice.
Direct-from-factory shipping works for one specific case: tiny, single-SKU, single-destination batches. Chinese factories are built for production, not fulfillment, and they don’t do four things that cross-border sellers actually need:
The onboarding to a China fulfillment center takes 5-7 business days from quote to first order shipped. The 5 steps are: quote, inventory delivery, receiving, store integration, and live fulfillment. Each step has a defined SLA and a single point of contact at AlleasySCM.
Cross-border shipping from a China fulfillment center requires 4 layers of compliance: customs documentation, Section 301 tariff classification (US), 2026/382 VAT compliance (EU), and dangerous goods certification. AlleasySCM’s compliance team handles all 4 layers in-house; the seller does not need to engage a separate customs broker or tariff consultant.
| Compliance layer | What's required | Who's responsible | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customs documentation | Commercial invoice, packing list, HS code, country of origin | Hub compliance team | Included in DDP |
| Section 301 tariff (US) | HTS code classification, 5-list match, exclusion check | Hub compliance team | Included in DDP |
| 2026/382 reform (EU) | Pre-paid VAT, IOSS registration, customs declaration | Hub compliance team + EU broker | Included in DDP |
| Dangerous goods (Class 9) | UN3481 lithium battery, MSDS, IATA declaration | Huizhou hub only | Hub-specific fee |
| Product compliance (US/EU) | FCC, CE, RoHS, CPSIA, FDA | Seller responsibility | Outside fulfillment scope |
The 3 fulfillment models cross-border sellers compare are: a China fulfillment center, a local 3PL in the destination country (e.g., US, UK, DE), and direct shipping from the Chinese factory.

A China fulfillment center is a 3PL warehouse located in China that stores inventory, picks and packs orders, and ships to end customers worldwide.
