Project Notes
Seventeen pieces for a new house in Orlando, Florida (32836): armchairs, a curved sofa set, marble nesting tables, library seating and a round marble table. The order did not fill a container, so we advised a consolidated (shared-container) load and re-crated the fragile pieces in timber.
The furniture arrived in May, but the house was still being finished. Rather than store it or push the client, the crew delivered the crates into the house on 19 May and left them sealed.
On 30 July, when the fit-out was done, the crew came back: unwrapped, assembled and positioned every piece between 16:40 and 16:55, and had the packaging on the truck by 17:02.
No chasing, no clutter, no second charge for waiting. The install happens when the client is ready.
Some factories ship in a thin plywood case that is fine for a domestic truck and not fine for a shared container crossing the Pacific. Before this order left Foshan the fragile pieces were rebuilt into braced timber crates, and the whole order — all 17 pieces — was staged at our warehouse and checked as one shipment.
Pieces collected from their factories, fragile items re-crated, 17 crates staged as one shipment.
Consolidated load — the client paid for the space used.
Fit-out not finished. Crates carried inside, kept sealed, positioned out of the trades’ way.
No storage fees, no reminders. The client told us when the floors and paint were done.
Crates opened, pieces unwrapped, assembled and positioned room by room; packaging swept up.
Crates, cardboard and wrap loaded on the truck and taken away.
Seventeen pieces’ worth of crates, cardboard and film on the truck seven minutes after the last piece was positioned. The client kept the furniture, not the packaging.
A free second look from a local team that reads Foshan quotations every week: unit specs, add-on risks, packing and freight lines, payment terms. No commitment.
Thin plywood becomes braced timber before it leaves Foshan. On a shared container this is the difference between a chipped marble edge and none.
Crates delivered in and sealed in May; installed at the end of July. No storage bill, no pressure on the client’s renovation.
The crew that delivered came back to unwrap, assemble and position — the same team, so nothing was lost between visits.
Sweep the rooms, load the waste, leave. The install is not finished until the packaging is gone.
Two options: hold it at the destination warehouse (which costs storage by the week) or, as here, deliver the sealed crates into a finished part of the house and install later. We scope the second visit up front so there is no surprise charge when the house is ready.
Yes. In this case the crates were delivered on 19 May and installed on 30 July 2026. The crates stay sealed between visits and the same crew comes back to unwrap, assemble and position.
Factory packaging is designed for a domestic truck to a showroom. Shared (LCL) containers add forklift handling at both ends and weeks of movement at sea. Timber bracing around the wrapped piece is how marble, glass and veneered edges arrive intact — see export packing in our QC guide.
Planning a Foshan order that has to arrive assembled, not just arrive? Tell us the destination, the rooms and roughly how many pieces, and we will scope the buying trip, the packing and the door-to-door leg together — start your project, or read how consolidation and shipping and pre-shipment inspection work.
