When Australian importers first contact me, the question is rarely “Who is the cheapest freight forwarder?”
More often, it’s “Who can actually handle everything for me — without surprises?”
After more than 12 years working on China–Australia shipping, I’ve learned that door-to-door delivery is not about speed or price alone. It’s about whether your freight forwarder can take real responsibility — from factory pickup in China to final delivery in Australia.
I’m Penny, Co-founder of DFH Logistics.
In this buide, I want to share how we actually support Australian clients behind the scenes, what our door-to-door service really includes, and why many importers eventually move their shipments to DFH Logistics after working with other forwarders.
Who We Are: DFH Logistics at a Glance
DFH Logistics is a China-based international freight forwarder, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Shenzhen.
For more than 12 years, we have focused on one core mission:
help overseas importers move goods out of China safely, compliantly, and with predictable landed costs.
Unlike brokers who outsource everything, DFH operates with real execution capability in China:
- Local pickup across major manufacturing cities
- In-house consolidation and warehousing
- Professional export documentation handling
- Stable long-term Australia delivery partners
What “Door-to-Door Shipping” Really Means at DFH Logistics
Many logistics companies use “door-to-door” as a marketing phrase.
At DFH Logistics, door-to-door means full responsibility from your China supplier to your Australian address.
A typical DFH door-to-door shipment includes:
- Pickup from your supplier anywhere in China
- China export customs declaration
- International freight (air or sea)
- Australian import customs clearance
- GST and duty handling under DDP terms
- Final delivery to warehouse, business address, Amazon FBA, or residence
You work with one team, one quotation structure, and one accountable point of contact.
If you are still deciding between DDP and port-to-port shipping, this comparison may help: DDP shipping from China.
Our Core Door-to-Door Shipping Solutions to Australia
We do not push a single shipping method. Every solution is designed based on cargo size, urgency, and cost control.
DDP Sea Freight (Most Popular Option)
This is the most commonly used solution for Australian importers.
- Suitable for bulky, heavy, or non-urgent cargo
- Typical transit time: 25–40 days
- Ideal for furniture, machinery, building materials, and wholesale goods
DDP Air Freight
Used when speed matters but express courier is too expensive.
- Typical transit time: 6–12 days
- Door-to-door with customs and GST handled
- Popular with e-commerce sellers and restocking shipments
Express Courier (DHL / UPS / FedEx)
Best for samples or very small shipments.
- Fast but high unit cost
- Limited flexibility for larger volumes
Port-to-Port (FOB / CIF)
For experienced importers who manage Australian clearance themselves.
- DFH handles China-side operations only
Why Australian Importers Choose DFH Logistics
After working with Australian clients for years, we see consistent reasons why they stay with DFH Logistics.
Operational accuracy
We measure cargo correctly, confirm packaging, and prevent billing surprises caused by volume disputes.
Strong consolidation capability
We consolidate goods from multiple suppliers into one shipment, reducing overall freight and handling costs.
You can read more about this process here: cargo consolidation services in China.
Clear DDP structure
GST, duties, and delivery scope are explained before shipment — not added after arrival.
Reliable Australian customs clearance
We work with stable clearance partners who understand Australian compliance requirements.
Professional communication
You speak with logistics professionals, not automated ticket systems.
Common Problems We Help Clients Avoid
Most clients come to DFH Logistics after facing at least one of these issues:
- Low initial quotes that exclude GST or local delivery
- Cargo delayed at customs due to incorrect documents
- Damaged goods caused by poor export packing
- No response once the shipment is paid
Our role is not only to ship goods, but to eliminate these risks before the cargo leaves China.

- You want true door-to-door shipping from China to Australia

Final Words
Choosing a freight forwarder is not just choosing a service provider — it is choosing who carries the logistics risk of your supply chain.
At DFH Logistics, we take that responsibility seriously.
