Project Notes
A San Mateo house on the Peninsula ordered a mixed list in Foshan: walnut dining table with bench and chairs, an L-shaped sectional and a two-seat sofa with coffee tables, an upholstered bed, and for outside a rocking chair, a slatted bench and a patio sofa-and-table set.
Indoor and outdoor pieces came from different factories and travelled as one consolidated shipment.
On 27 March 2026 the crew unloaded, assembled and positioned every piece; the photographs run from 13:36 to 13:39 — the whole house set in a single visit.
A smaller order than a full container, and the same scope: carry-in, assembly, positioning, packaging removed.
The teak-look patio set and the walnut dining table came from different factories; they were inspected and crated together in Foshan.
A house-worth of key pieces was unloaded, assembled and positioned in one visit.
Sectionals, beds and tables are assembled in the room they were bought for.
Cartons and wrap left with the crew.
Usually from about USD 8,000–10,000 of goods or 15 m³ — roughly a living room plus a bedroom — the fixed costs of documents, port handling and customs are spread thinly enough to make sense. Below that, ship LCL and keep the piece count tight; above about 28 m³ a 40 ft container is cheaper per cubic metre. Our buying guide has the break-even.
Yes — and it is the cheapest way to buy it, because it shares the container, the inspection and the delivery. See outdoor furniture sourcing for materials and specs.
On Source Foshan projects: unloading, carry-in, uncrating, assembly, positioning and packaging removal — as in this case. A plain freight quote to the door usually means the kerb.
