When will my shipment be processed and shipped from the warehouse?

When will a shipment be processed and shipped from the warehouse.


Shipping Plan Processing and Cutoff Times


Once you create a shipping plan in your SKUdrop account, your shipment is typically processed and labeled within 24–48 hours, ready to be loaded into a container.


Please note the following cutoff schedule:


  • The cutoff time is midday every Thursday (China Local Time).
  • This allows us enough time to process your shipment, load it into a container, and transport it to the port for departure the following week.


Example Timeline:


  • If you create a shipping plan on Monday, the shipment will be processed and labeled within 24–48 hours. It will then be loaded into a container scheduled to depart on a ship the following Tuesday or Wednesday.
  • If you create a plan on Tuesday, Wednesday, or before midday Thursday, it follows the same timeline as above.
  • If your shipping plan is created after midday Thursday, it will likely miss the following week’s ship —meaning your shipment will depart approximately 12-14 days after the plan is created.


If you have a tight deadline, we recommend submitting your shipping plan as early in the week as possible.
