Plan the factory visit in the right order

Build the factory day around confirmed appointment windows and actual visitor gates, then test the return deadline. A list of cities or factories is not yet a feasible itinerary.

Field for each visitFill in before requesting transport
Supplier and siteFactory name, Chinese street address, map pin and visitor gate—not only the registered office
Host and accessReception contact, visitor registration, permitted arrival window and any site restrictions
Meeting windowEarliest accepted arrival, fixed start, expected duration and latest departure
People and loadPassengers, luggage at the start, samples collected and any items needing dimensions
Next stopActual next gate, flexible versus fixed appointment and a road-time allowance
Return cutoffFinal hotel or airport, check-in/bag-drop deadline if flying, and a separately planned border buffer
03

Check whether the day is feasible

For each stop, add travel, access checks, the meeting and loading time. The next appointment must still fit after that total, with a delay margin. Do not use a city-centre estimate for travel between two industrial estates. Ask the host to confirm each gate and time window; the transport booking does not secure factory admission.

  1. Place fixed appointments and the final return cutoff first.
  2. Group flexible visits by their actual addresses, not just city names.
  3. If a delay would erase the return buffer, move an optional visit to another day before booking.
  4. Ask the coordinator to review the route; retain the version accepted by both organiser and host.
04

Example: fixed meeting first, optional visit second

Planning example, not a customer case: factory A has a fixed morning appointment; factory B offers an afternoon window; the group must reach an airport before its airline deadline. Protect A and the airport deadline first. B is feasible only if the confirmed gate-to-gate transfer, meeting, sample loading and return buffer all fit. Otherwise reschedule B rather than assuming the driver can recover lost time.

05

Agree the vehicle scope before booking

Choose a one-way transfer, two separately timed legs or a charter with agreed hours and stops. Confirm when waiting starts, extra-stop and overrun terms, the final address and who can approve changes. Samples may change the return load and customs requirements; ask the relevant authorities about restricted goods, not just the driver.

FAQ

Questions travellers ask

Does booking a car include factory admission?+

No. Confirm the host, visitor registration and actual gate with each factory. We plan transport around the accepted appointment windows.

Can I add another factory during the day?+

Send the address and expected visit duration first. Check the next appointment, return deadline, vehicle availability and any additional charge before agreeing the change.

What if we collect more samples than expected?+

Send the added boxes and dimensions before loading. Passenger count and the full return load determine the vehicle plan; customs requirements must be checked separately with the authorities.
