I recently purchased a 20 acre plot and need to fence it with chain link. I’m looking at all options, one of which is Alibaba. How does one order large shipments like this? How does freight get charged/calculated? Do I pick it up at the shipping port? How do import taxes get charged/calculated?

Dhl and other shipping services deliver directly to your home. Talk with a supplier they will tell you what true cost is after shipping ends up being pretty expensive. You make a one time payment to alibaba supplier

Ok awesome! Thanks. The property is only an hour from Long Beach so hopefully getting it from there will be easy. I’ll talk to the supplier. I just want sure if I needed to bring some other knowledge to the conversation to make sure I wasn’t getting fleeced.
