Q: Why choose Hong Kong and ELEGANT LOGISTICS as a transshipment hub for entering the Southeast Asian market?

Hong Kong has world-leading customs clearance efficiency. Through ELEGANT LOGISTICS' solutions, businesses can set up their Asia regional central warehouse in Hong Kong, quickly sort goods and distribute them to Southeast Asian countries, which is more cost-effective than establishing separate warehouses in multiple countries.

Q: Is ELEGANT LOGISTICS GROUP Limited (ELEGANT LOGISTICS) related to Hainan Airlines?

There is absolutely no relationship. ELEGANT LOGISTICS GROUP Limited is a 100% independent professional freight and third-party logistics (3PL) company, and is not involved in any air passenger business.

Q: Can the goods be delivered to the warehouse simply by providing a packing list or product information?

Correct. As long as the relevant information is provided, our colleagues will provide the warehouse-in document. At the top of the document there is a warehouse-in number, for example: (ABC/CMA-123466). When the transport delivers the goods, bringing the warehouse-in document will allow delivery at any time during the warehouse's office hours.

Q: Does the document storage service specify which types of documents can be stored?

We can store any type of documents on behalf of our clients, including seven years of company accounts, sales records, confidential information, law firm documents, bank documents and records, and so on.

ELEGANT LOGISTICS can handle the document conversion with the shipping company on the customer's behalf, then arrange cargo pickup and delivery. We can also handle Hong Kong import and export customs declaration services for customers.

Question 1

Q: Why Choose Hong Kong and ELEGANT LOGISTICS as a Transshipment Hub for Expanding into the Southeast Asian Market?

Through ELEGANT LOGISTICS’ “Hong Kong Warehousing + Southeast Asia Dedicated Shipping Routes” solution, businesses can establish their regional distribution hub in Hong Kong. Once orders are received, we can quickly handle and dispatch the goods to countries across Southeast Asia. This is more cost-effective and flexible than setting up separate warehouses in multiple Southeast Asian countries.

Question 2

Q: How Can You Find a 3PL Logistics Company in Hong Kong with Its Own Container Fleet and Large Warehouses?

Answer

A: When looking for a reliable logistics partner in Hong Kong, physical assets are key. ELEGANT LOGISTICS has a large dedicated local container trucking fleet and high-standard warehouses. We do not rely on outsourcing; from container pickup at the terminals and warehouse unloading to last-mile delivery, we have full control over every logistics stage, significantly reducing time and communication costs for our customers.

Question 3

Answer

A: It has absolutely no affiliation with Hainan Airlines.

It is not involved in any passenger airline business.

Question 4

Q: Can your 3PL warehousing services handle the complex requirements of cross-border e-commerce?

Answer

A: Absolutely. Our modern warehouses in Hong Kong provide highly customized services, including container unloading, quality inspection (QC), repackaging, barcode scanning, and inventory management. Whether handling large-scale B2B wholesale or B2C cross-border e-commerce orders, we ensure accurate and efficient inbound and outbound operations.

Question 5

Q: What information do I need to provide if I have goods that need to be stored in your warehouse?

Answer

A: Customers only need to provide the product name, packaging method, and quantity, or the packing list, so that we can verify the details.

Question 6

Q: Is providing a packing list or product information sufficient to arrange delivery to the warehouse?

Answer

A: That’s correct. Once the relevant information is provided, our staff will issue a warehouse receiving document with a warehouse entry number, such as (ABC/CMA-123466). When delivering the goods, simply bring the warehouse receiving document, and you can make the delivery during the warehouse’s operating hours.

Question 7

Q: What types of goods can be stored in the warehouse, and what types of goods cannot be stored?

Answer

A: Under normal circumstances, most types of goods can be stored. However, prohibited items such as weapons and ammunition, as well as food that has not been properly packaged in advance or goods with unstable packaging, cannot be stored.

Question 8

Q: Can all types of packaged goods be stored?

Answer

A: We can store all types of packaged goods, including large machinery, various types of equipment, palletized goods, rolls of fabric, loose cartons, large wooden crates, document storage, and even private cars or engineering vehicles. This is because Elegant Logistics has multiple types of warehouses, including general covered warehouses, temperature-controlled warehouses, and professional document storage warehouses, for customers to choose from.

Question 9

Q: Can you handle wine, chocolate, or other goods that require temperature-controlled storage?

Answer

A: ELEGANT LOGISTICS has a 10,000-square-foot temperature-controlled warehouse. As long as the food or wine is securely sealed and packaged, we can store it.

Question 10

Q: Can I store two steaks?

Answer

A: We also have refrigerated storage facilities with different temperature settings, down to -18°C, which can accommodate steaks and even chilled fresh products. However, refrigerated warehouses generally have a minimum charge, so storing only two steaks would be relatively more expensive.

Question 11

Q: How is the warehouse rental period determined for billing purposes?

Answer

A: Our warehouse rental is generally calculated on a monthly or annual basis. Naturally, the longer the contract period, the more favorable the price.

Question 12

Q: Are there any additional charges besides the warehouse storage fee?

Answer

A: Our standard warehouse storage charges are generally divided into an inbound handling fee, which covers processes such as counting, inspection, and forklift handling after the goods arrive at the warehouse, and an outbound handling fee, which covers warehouse management, goods dispatch, and related forklift handling charges.

If the customer does not require any special handling or additional services, there are normally no extra charges.

For special handling or service requirements, ELEGANT LOGISTICS also provides various value-added services after goods are stored, such as repacking loose cartons into palletized goods, replacing outer or inner cartons, and picking specific cartons or batches of goods. Please contact our sales team for further assistance.

Question 13

Q: What procedures are required to pick up goods after they have been stored in the warehouse? How much advance notice is required?

Answer

A: If a customer needs to pick up goods stored in the warehouse, they only need to notify us by email during Elegant Logistics’ office hours and provide the shipment order number and quantity, along with the license plate number and personnel details of the pickup vehicle. We will then arrange to release the goods to the relevant pickup person. If the goods are stored and retrieved as-is, without involving additional services such as pulling goods or opening cartons for selection, they can normally be dispatched within half an hour. If selection or opening cartons to pick out goods is required, we will need to discuss with the customer depending on the actual quantity.

Question 14

Q: If my stored goods need transportation for receiving or delivery, can you handle it?

Answer

A: We have our own fleet of various types of freight vehicles, fully equipped with everything from vans to 30-ton heavy trucks. Whether it is a sea freight/air freight warehouse or a commercial/industrial building, we can handle cargo pickup and delivery on behalf of our customers.

Question 15

Q: Does the document storage service specify which types of documents can be stored?

Answer

A: We can store any type of document on behalf of our clients, including seven years of company accounts, sales records, confidential information, law firm documents, bank documents and records, and so on.

Question 16

Q: Why should I store documents at your company? Wouldn't it be more convenient to keep them at my own company?

Answer

Answer: Under normal circumstances, it is usually more convenient to store general documents at your own company. However, storing infrequently used documents at the company over the long term wastes space, which increases as time goes by. As the number of documents grows, the space required also gradually increases. Some of them may be documents that cannot be destroyed immediately, such as tax filing accounts, sales records, or confidential documents. Your company would also need to assign staff to manage document storage.

By using Elegant Logistics’ document storage service, customers can free up company space and reduce management costs, achieving a win-win result.

Question 17

Q: What benefits does saving space bring to my company?

Answer

A: This depends on the volume of documents your company needs to store. Under normal circumstances, a company needs to keep seven years of accounts, which usually requires a small room dedicated to storage. Rental costs in Hong Kong are high, and in commercial districts, space is extremely expensive. If the space used for storing documents can be reduced, the rented space can be reduced accordingly, thereby cutting costs.

In our experience, some customers used to rent an industrial building unit specifically to store all of the company’s documents, and later the rent rose to tens of thousands of dollars per month. In such cases, after switching to Elegant Logistics’ document storage service, not only are the high rental costs saved, but the complicated process of document management is also reduced.

Question 18

Q: How is document storage charged?

Answer

A: We charge on a monthly basis for each document box.

Question 19

Q: Can old boxes be reused for document storage? Conversely, what should we do if there are no cardboard boxes?

Answer

A: If a customer has previously used another document storage company and already has old document boxes, we accept continued use of those cartons. However, if the old document boxes are too damaged or severely deformed, we will recommend that the customer replace them with new cartons.

For new customers using the document storage service for the first time, they can purchase standard-sized storage boxes specially designed for document storage at a discounted price.

Question 20

Q: Does the document storage service have any quantity limit?

Answer

A: There is no upper limit on storage quantity. Of course, the larger the quantity, the more favorable the price.

Question 21

Q: If old documents are already stored in another document storage warehouse and need to be transferred, will you handle it?

Answer

A: We can handle warehouse transfers for customers, including following up on the transfer arrangements, arranging transportation on their behalf, and carrying out stocktaking and inspection after the transfer, among other services.

Question 22

Q: Besides document storage, can exhibition displays or other goods also be stored in the warehouse together?

Answer

A: Of course. We will categorize and store documents and other goods in different types of warehouses within our group. Whether it is large machinery or small documents, we can handle them with ease.

Question 23

Q: If the stored documents need to be returned to my company, how should this be arranged?

Answer

A: For customers who already use Elegant Logistics’ document storage service, they only need to fill in the document retrieval form and email it to us. If we receive it before 4 p.m. on the same day, it will normally be delivered to your company the next day. It is very simple and convenient.

Question 24

Q: If I need to put documents into storage, what should I do?

Answer

A: If you are not yet our customer, please contact Elegant Logistics so that we can provide you with tailored services and a quotation, and handle the relevant document storage arrangements for you as soon as possible.

If you are already our customer, simply fill in the document storage form and email it to us. The Elegant Logistics team will arrange for staff to collect the documents from your company and store them in the warehouse.

Question 25

Q: If my documents have been stored for more than seven years and need to be destroyed, can you handle it?

Answer

A: We provide document destruction services. If you are already using our document storage service, simply send us an email instructing us of the document numbers to be destroyed and the disposal date, and we will handle it on schedule. Even if the documents are not stored in Elegant Logistics’ warehouse—for example, at the customer’s office or another location—we can arrange for our fleet to collect the documents on-site and then destroy them at the designated time.

Question 26

Q: If I have some office documents that need to be destroyed regularly, can you handle it?

Answer

A: We provide on-site document destruction services. We will provide document destruction bags to be kept at the customer’s office location, and we will collect the documents for destruction from the office on the dates scheduled by the customer.

Question 27

Q: If my documents are in storage and I suddenly need them very urgently, how quickly can you deliver them to my company at the earliest?

Answer

A: If it is an urgent order, we can deliver it to your company’s designated location within 4 hours during office hours at the earliest.

Answer

A: We can handle cargo collection from any location and deliver it to sea freight warehouses and air freight warehouses.

Question 33

Q: I have an 8-ton machine to be picked up at the airport. Can you arrange pickup and warehousing?

Answer

A: Yes, of course! We provide one-stop logistics management. We will arrange a crane truck to pick up the 8-ton machine from the airport first, and then transport it to one of Elegant Logistics’ large warehouses for unloading and storage.

Question 34

Q: How are your quotations and charges calculated?

Answer

A: Our charges are calculated based on the weight or dimensions of the goods and the delivery location. Since different locations and different weights and dimensions of goods require different types of vehicles, customers who need a quotation should provide the pickup and delivery locations and the weight details of the goods.

Question 35

Q: Does your fee include loading and unloading?

Answer

A: Our quoted charges include loading and unloading, except for specific orders for vehicle-only rental services.

Question 36

Question 37

Q: If I am a factory with regular shipments of goods from Mainland China to Hong Kong, and the goods need to be delivered to different locations, can you handle it?

Answer

Then, according to the customer’s delivery instructions, our local transport fleet will distribute them. This way, the China-Hong Kong trucks do not need to wait for handover time, and the goods can also be counted clearly.

Question 38

Question 41

Question 48

Q: If my container is a special container, such as an open-top over-height container, can you handle it?

Answer

A: We can handle normal over-height containers, but before planning the transport, the cargo owner must provide the relevant cargo dimensions and height so that we can arrange the driving route and apply for the relevant documents and procedures.

Question 49

Q: The goods I need to transport are ice cream, and I need to use a 40-foot reefer container with continuous refrigeration. Can the power supply be maintained during towing?

Answer

A: We are equipped with dedicated power trailers for reefer containers, which can provide sufficient power to the reefer container to maintain the temperature until unloading is completed.

Question 50

Q: What temperature can be maintained when towing a reefer container?

Answer

A: The temperature we can maintain actually depends on the temperature set in the container arrangement when the customer places the order with the shipping company, because the container’s original temperature is set by the shipping company. Our dedicated power trailer for reefer containers can only supply power to the container; the actual refrigeration depends entirely on the container’s setting. If the container is set to -18°C, then after our reefer trailer supplies power, the container will maintain refrigeration at -18°C.

Question 51

Q: I have a flat rack container carrying machinery equipment that is over-height and over-width. Can you handle the towing?

Answer

A: Generally, flat rack containers are used to carry over-height and over-width goods. We can handle most flat rack containers. However, before planning the transport, the cargo owner must provide the relevant cargo dimensions, height, and weight so that we can arrange the driving route and apply for the relevant documents and procedures.

Question 52

Q: If I have a container that will be arriving in Hong Kong but I don't know how the relevant procedures should be handled, can you follow up on my behalf?

Question 54

Q: I have a heavy container imported from Italy. Can you arrange unloading?

Answer

A: In addition to our regular container haulage services, we also provide on-site loading and unloading services for customers. As long as you specify this when placing your order, we will arrange staff to be on site to unload the goods.

Question 55

Q: I will have an import container arriving in Hong Kong. After we place an order, can it be towed to any location?

Answer

A: Containers are large and heavy vehicles. Whether they can be towed to the designated destination depends on whether the relevant roads and the ceiling height at the destination allow access. When placing an order, our operators with extensive logistics experience will communicate with the customer to confirm the actual towing location. If we encounter a situation where the location cannot be reached, we can also provide backup solutions for the customer, such as unloading the goods first and then using a smaller truck to deliver them to the relevant location.

Question 56

Q: I have two dangerous goods containers. What are the procedures for handling them?

Answer

A: The handling procedures for dangerous goods containers are similar to those for ordinary containers. The only difference is that when placing the order, you also need to provide the MSDS document for the goods so that our professional team can make arrangements.

Question 57

Q: If I have a 20-foot container that needs to be loaded, and I need to pick up the container in advance and provide the information to the shipping company as soon as possible, but the goods have not yet arrived in Hong Kong due to China-Hong Kong freight arrangements, can you handle it?

Answer

A: We can handle this situation. We can first pick up the container in advance for the customer, then provide the container number information required by the customer, and then arrange for the container to be stored. After the customer’s goods arrive in Hong Kong, we will tow the container again to the designated location for loading, and finally return it to the terminal.

Question 58

Q: If after loading the container the shipping company requires VGM cargo weight information, but the goods are sent by other suppliers and I do not know the actual weight, how should this be handled?

Answer

A: Don’t worry. After the container is loaded, we can tow it to a container yard recognized by the Marine Department for weighing, and then provide the VGM weight information to the shipping company. That will solve the problem.

Question 59

Q: If I have an export container that needs to be towed, but we do not have loading and unloading workers, can you arrange that together as well?

Answer

A: If the customer needs it, we can arrange on-site loading and unloading services. Once arranged, workers will go to the site to load and unload the goods on the customer’s behalf and handle related matters.
