Can your products be used in my country?Most of our products can be used worldwide. Standards for telecom products are clearly stated in their product descriptions. For electronic products, we include the correct power adapters for the country to which the order is being sent.
Are your products sent with manuals?Products with many features and significant functionality such as MP3/MP4 players and digital cameras are sent with a user manual in English, sometimes along with other languages. Many products are simple to understand and operate, and thus do not come with manuals.
Do you have original iPods, Canon, Sony, or other major brands?No, we do not. AlohaMate's certified factories are the same world class factories that manufacturer products for the global brand names you know well. But since you are buying directly from these factories, the products are their own "white box" (unbranded) or private labeled versions and designs. You get the benefit of the quality manufacturing behind global brands, but with no middlemen or huge marketing budgets adding to the price.
Can you print our logo on the products?Yes, we offer this service according to the following:
1. We will need to make you a confirmation sample with your desired logo. We will collect US$120 from you to do this, which will be credited back to you on the full production order. 2. There is a minimum order value requirement of US$200.
3. The printing charge is around US$1 per unit for screen printing. More complete packaging arrangements can also be made upon your request. Please contact us via email to begin the process.

back to topTax, Customs, and Duties
Do I have to pay import taxes and customs duties?Products are shipped out of Singapore or Hong Kong so your country considers them import goods and it may charge you import duties depending on the type of products and their value. AlohaMate charges you only the cost of the products you order and their shipping. As local laws, systems, codes and practices vary widely among countries, we are unable to collect any taxes or duties that your local authorities may impose upon you. This is the buyer's responsibility. If you are familiar with your local regulations, however, we will be glad to follow your instructions concerning labeling, packaging, and invoicing, to aid customs processing and appropriate tax assessments of your packages. Just leave these instructions in the comment box on your order so that our staff can follow them.
What if my parcel is held by local customs?Please understand your country's customs regulations and import duties prior to placing orders with SourcingMap to avoid any unexpected surprises.

We will gladly follow your instructions concerning labeling, packaging, and invoicing to aid customs processing and appropriate tax assessments of your packages. Just leave these instructions in the comment box when you order so that our staff can follow them
