Questions before buying
A clearer starting point.
Short answers first; the country guides carry the detail.
Can I source remotely?
Yes. A clear brief supports supplier comparisons, photo and video reviews, samples where needed and written approvals. If you visit Foshan, the same brief plans the showroom and factory appointments.
What should I send?
A floor plan or furniture list, the delivery city, a product budget with its currency and the date the property can receive goods. Reference images help at any stage.
What does the budget include?
Treat products, the sourcing service, packing, freight, customs charges and destination services as separate lines. Each depends on the order and the agreed delivery scope, so ask for an itemised estimate.
Can different suppliers be consolidated?
Yes. We coordinate receiving, labelling and export packing from several Foshan suppliers into one shipment, with each line checked against its description.
How are destination arrangements confirmed?
Send the country, city and delivery needs with your list. Shipping availability, importer arrangements, clearance and the local delivery scope are confirmed for that project before you commit.
