After visiting the wholesale market in Guangzhou, I have decided that I should buy directly from there to ship to my teahouse in Singapore, skipping the wholesaler. Any idea if this is a viable route if I am buying one or two cartons at a time? Suggestions for transportation and what would the costs be?

The real big problem is not the route or finding a courier, but rather packing the products safely. You have to work out with your supplier on that before sending the things for shipment or courier.
Shipping cartons to outside of China is quite convenient using international couriers, except for the unbelievably high rate. Use local couriers if any would cover your destination, but be warned that some deliver only to the port, or their own warehouse. -

Probably a little late to the conversation. Manila Tran I hope you found a solution. Shipping from Guangzhou to Singapore you have lots of options. Depending on the size of your consignment, think about;1) Less than 30kg – China post – SAL2) Express for urgent and smaller consignments – EMS – the supplier should negotiate 40-60% discount off the standard rate.3) 1CBM or over – Look for a freight forwarder. They will be able to offer a LCL service and work with a Singapore agent to deliver to your door.
