FAQ

Is this just airport pickup?

No. Airport pickup is only one possible part. The value is practical first-day help: getting connected, confirming payment, using Chinese addresses, and getting to the hotel with less stress.

Do helpers speak fluent English?

Helpers can communicate in basic English and use translation tools when needed. This service is designed for practical arrival support, not guided sightseeing or cultural commentary. For complex questions, remote English support can help by message.

When should I ask?

Ask before you book too much, especially if your flight arrives late or your first night depends on payment, phone data, or a tight transfer. Availability is limited.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Delay handling depends on the arrival time and helper availability. If extra waiting time or a remote-only fallback is needed, it should be confirmed before the support continues.

Can you help with very late-night or after-midnight arrivals?

Sometimes, but it must be confirmed before payment. Late-night support depends on airport, landing time, hotel location, transport availability, helper availability, and whether a remote fallback is more realistic.

Can you help test Alipay or WeChat Pay?

Yes, the support can include a practical payment readiness check, such as confirming app access, backup card readiness, small cash backup, and whether a simple payment attempt is realistic. It cannot guarantee that every merchant, card issuer, or app verification step will work.

Is the car or taxi cost included?

Usually no. Local transport, parking, tolls, or waiting costs are quoted separately or paid directly by the traveler unless a different arrangement is confirmed in writing before payment.
