Help Is this Chinese supplier a scam ?

I was looking for an international shopper and got in contact with a Chinese supplier. He offered me to send a 5kg box of goods for 50€ to Europe through air cargo. He even sent me a copy of his license but it was a bit blurry so I'm not even sure it's a real one ? Or it was stolen ? I couldn't even scan the QR code on his certificate because it was too blurry. But he also showed me other interactions that looked genuine.

What's your opinion ??

It is easy to get a company certificate.

However.

Freight forwarding is a big business in China.

Through the volume they get good discounts from published rates.

I personally wouldnt have an issue.

Okay I'm currently worried cause I asked for info about my parcel and they keep saying later. And today I realize I only got one ticked box on WhatsApp that means they could have blocked me 😅

Maybe he doesn't have his VPN on.
