The Need

Solutions
Lee World uses its own Joint Venture factories in Baodin, China to develop and customize the product to fit the requirements. In less than 60 days, samples are shipped for approval. 15 days after the Purchase Order is received and confirmed, goods are made and loaded into one of Lee World’s containers for the US.

Our professional operations team handles the shipment in the most efficient manner to ensure timely delivery at the lowest costs.
