Welcome to AmericaSourcer. This Payment Policy explains how payments, quotes, fees, deposits, balance payments, refunds, and payment-related responsibilities work when customers use our sourcing, inspection, repackaging, package consolidation, shipping, DDP, and order fulfillment services in China.
By requesting a quote, confirming an order, or using our services, you agree to this Payment Policy.
1. Payment Summary
AmericaSourcer offers sourcing services in China, warehouse inspection, repackaging, package consolidation, shipping coordination, DDP shipments when possible, and order fulfillment support for Latin American buyers.
Payments may include the cost of products, procurement service fees, warehouse handling fees, inspection fees, repackaging fees, consolidation fees, shipping fees, customs clearance fees, delivery charges, payment processing fees, and other agreed-upon service costs.
The exact payment amount depends on the customer's request, the type of product, the supplier's price, the destination country, the weight, the volume, the service requirements, and the shipping method.
2. Other
Customers can request a quote by providing links to the products, supplier information, quantity, destination country, service requirements, and shipping needs.
A quote may include one or more of the following items:
Purchase price of the product
Fee for the water supply service
Inspection Fee
Warehouse Receiving Fee
Repackaging or Labeling Fee
Package Consolidation Fee
Shipping Fee
Cost of DDP services or customs clearance-related services, as applicable
Local Delivery or Fulfillment Cost
Handling or Special Packaging Fee
Other fees for agreed-upon services
All quotes are based on the information available at the time the quote is provided.
Final costs may vary if there are changes in the product price, stock availability, weight, volume, shipping route, customs requirements, exchange rate, supplier terms, or service requirements.
3. Payment Confirmation
A quote is not considered confirmed until the customer accepts it and makes the required payment.
AmericaSourcer will be able to begin the process of supplier sourcing, purchasing, warehouse management, inspection, repackaging, consolidation, or shipping only after the required payment has been received or confirmed.
If a payment is delayed, incomplete, revoked, disputed, or rejected, AmericaSourcer may suspend or cancel the corresponding service.
4. Payment of the deposit and the balance
Depending on the type of order and the scope of the service, customers may be asked to pay a deposit before the product is purchased or the service is prepared.
You may be asked to pay the remaining balance before:
Purchasing the product
The removal of merchandise from the warehouse
Inspection or repackaging
Package Consolidation
International Shipping
DDP Shipping
Coordinating the final delivery
For some orders, full payment may be required before any services begin.
The amount of the required deposit and the terms for paying the balance will be confirmed in the quote or through direct communication.
5. Payment for the product purchase
When AmericaSourcer assists with purchasing products from Chinese platforms, suppliers, or factories, customers may be required to pay the full cost of the product before the purchase is made.
Product prices are set by suppliers or third-party platforms and are subject to change at any time.
AmericaSourcer is not responsible for changes in supplier prices, inventory, platform policies, or product availability prior to payment and order confirmation.
If a supplier changes the price of the product after the quote is issued but before the purchase, the customer may need to approve the updated price before the order can be processed.
6. Service Fees
AmericaSourcer may charge service fees for supplier sourcing, communication, purchasing support, inspection, warehouse handling, repackaging, consolidation, shipping coordination, and order fulfillment support.
Service fees are charged for the work performed by AmericaSourcer and may not be refundable once the service has begun.
Service fees may vary depending on the complexity of the order, communication requirements with suppliers, the quantity of products, warehouse handling needs, the level of inspection, repackaging requirements, and shipping coordination needs.
7. Shipping and Payment
Shipping costs are typically calculated based on the destination country, product category, actual weight, volumetric weight, package size, shipping route, DDP availability, and delivery requirements.
The initial shipping quote may change once the goods arrive at the warehouse in China and their actual weight or volume is measured.
Customers are responsible for paying the shipping charges confirmed prior to shipment of the goods, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
If additional shipping costs are incurred due to changes in packaging, route changes, customs requirements, delivery to remote areas, incorrect customer information, or carrier adjustments, the customer may be responsible for those additional costs.
8. DDP Payment
When DDP shipping is available, certain costs related to customs clearance, taxes, and delivery may be included in the quoted shipping solution.
However, the availability of DDP and the costs included may vary depending on the product category, destination country, customs classification, weight, volume, declared value, and route conditions.
If additional charges arise due to incorrect product information, restricted products, customs inspection, special documentation, regulations in the destination country, or errors in the information provided by the customer, the customer may be liable for the additional costs.
9. Accepted Payment Methods
Available payment methods may vary depending on the type of order, the destination country, the currency, and the availability of the payment provider.
AmericaSourcer will confirm the accepted payment methods before the customer makes the payment.
Customers should only make payments to payment accounts officially provided by AmericaSourcer through our verified communication channels.
AmericaSourcer is not liable for losses caused by payments sent to incorrect accounts, to unauthorized individuals, or as a result of fraudulent payment requests, phishing messages, or third-party scams.
10. Currency and Exchange Rates
Prices may be displayed in the selected currency, depending on the customer's location, the supplier's prices, and the payment method.
Exchange rates may vary over time. If a currency conversion is required, the final payment amount may be affected by exchange rate differences, bank fees, payment provider fees, or conversion fees.
Customers are responsible for any bank fees, transfer fees, currency conversion fees, intermediary bank fees, or payment provider fees, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
11. Payment Processing Fees
Some payment methods may involve transaction fees, platform fees, bank charges, or processing fees.
These fees may be charged by banks, payment processors, financial institutions, or third-party payment platforms.
Unless otherwise agreed, customers are responsible for payment processing fees and any additional costs resulting from a failed payment, cancellation, refund, chargeback, or dispute.
12. Overdue Payment
If a customer fails to make payment on time, AmericaSourcer may delay, suspend, or cancel the corresponding service.
A delay in payment may affect:
The product purchase period
Supplier inventory availability
Warehouse Processing
The Inspection Schedule
Repackaging and Consolidation
The Shipping Schedule
Delivery time
Final Compliance
AmericaSourcer is not responsible for delays, price increases, stock shortages, storage fees, or route changes resulting from a delay in payment.
13. Storage fees due to unpaid orders
If the merchandise arrives at our warehouse in China and the customer fails to make payment, confirm shipment, provide instructions, or respond within a reasonable time frame, storage fees may be charged.
If the merchandise remains unpaid or unclaimed for an extended period, AmericaSourcer reserves the right to return, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise handle it, in accordance with warehouse policy and applicable law.
Storage policies, free storage periods, and fees may be confirmed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the order and warehouse availability.
14. Changes to the Order After Payment
If the customer requests changes after payment, including changes to the product, quantity, supplier, destination, packaging, inspection, or shipping route, additional charges may apply.
Changes may not always be possible if the product has already been purchased, shipped by the supplier, received at the warehouse, repackaged, consolidated, or delivered to the logistics provider.
Any additional costs incurred as a result of changes requested by the customer will be the customer's responsibility.
15. Cancellations
Cancellation requests should be submitted as soon as possible.
If the product has not yet been purchased and no service has been activated, it may be possible to cancel it.
If the product has already been purchased, shipped by the supplier, received at the warehouse, inspected, repackaged, consolidated, or shipped overseas, it may not be possible to cancel the order.
Any service fees, supplier charges, warehouse fees, payment fees, return fees, or shipping charges that have already been incurred may be deducted from the refund amount.
16. Refunds
Eligibility for a refund depends on the specific order status, the supplier's policy, the payment status, the service progress, the warehouse processing status, and the shipping status.
Refunds may not be available in the following cases:
Procurement Services Completed
Inspection Services Completed
Repackaging Services Completed
Consolidation Services Completed
Warehouse operations already completed
Payment Processing Fees
Shipping charges once the goods have been handed over to the carrier
Vendor charges or non-refundable vendor charges
Custom orders or special-order products
Products rejected due to incorrect information provided by the customer
If a supplier accepts a return or refund, AmericaSourcer can assist with communication whenever possible. However, the supplier or the platform is responsible for approving the refund and determining the timeframe for processing it.
17. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Customers should contact AmericaSourcer first if they have any issues related to payment, their order, service, or delivery.
If a customer initiates a chargeback, payment dispute, or cancellation without first contacting us, AmericaSourcer may suspend all related services until the issue is resolved.
Customers may be liable for chargeback fees, dispute fees, bank fees, service fees, storage fees, return fees, and other costs arising from the dispute.
18. Incorrect or Unauthorized Payments
Customers are responsible for verifying their payment information before sending money.
AmericaSourcer is not liable for payments sent to incorrect accounts, the wrong recipients, unauthorized third parties, fraudulent representatives, or fraudulent payment instructions that have not been officially provided by AmericaSourcer.
Customers must verify their payment information through our official contact channels before making a payment.
19. Taxes, customs duties, and import charges
Depending on the shipping method and the destination country, taxes, customs fees, import duties, documentation fees, storage fees, inspection fees, or other charges may apply.
For DDP shipments, certain customs-related costs may be included depending on the agreed-upon quote. For non-DDP shipments or in special situations, additional costs may be charged separately.
Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with the tax, customs, import, and regulatory requirements for the products in the destination country.
20. Payment Security
AmericaSourcer takes reasonable measures to protect payment-related communications and customer information.
However, customers should also ensure the security of their own payments by:
Check the payment instructions before sending money
Avoid making payments to unknown or unauthorized accounts
Keep records of payments
Use secure communication channels
Avoid sharing unnecessary confidential financial information
Report any suspicious messages immediately
AmericaSourcer will never ask customers to send payments to accounts that have not been officially confirmed by us.
21. The price is not guaranteed until payment is confirmed
Product prices, shipping costs, exchange rates, and third-party services may change before payment is completed.
AmericaSourcer cannot guarantee product prices, supplier inventory, shipping costs, or route availability until payment is confirmed and the corresponding stage of the service begins.
