An agent charges for an agreed service; a reseller buys and resells goods at its own price. Either model needs a clear contract, but their invoice trails and responsibilities differ. A supplier\u2019s introduction, a warehouse photo or a \u201cfactory direct\u201d badge does not prove which model you have bought.<\/p><ol class=\"dg-steps\"><li><strong>Identify the parties.<\/strong> Record the Chinese legal name, registration details, production address, exporter and person responsible for defects.<\/li><li><strong>Define the fee base.<\/strong> State the percentage or fixed amount, eligible goods value, currency, minimum and separately chargeable work.<\/li><li><strong>Ask for the underlying offer.<\/strong> Compare a dated factory quotation or pro forma invoice against the agent\u2019s schedule, using the same item, fabric, hardware and packing.<\/li><li><strong>Reconcile payment.<\/strong> Independently confirm the beneficiary against the contracted seller.

An export commercial invoice is different from a mainland Chinese VAT invoice.<\/li><li><strong>Close the loop.<\/strong> Reconcile the accepted specification, purchase order, invoices, inspection findings, carton list and final statement before the agreed balance trigger.<\/li><\/ol><p>Source Foshans <a href=\"\/de\/\">published service policy<\/a> states a <strong>3\u20135% fee on an agreed order-value basis, no supplier commissions and orders from USD 10,000<\/strong>, with factory payments made directly against agreed milestones. Obtain the project-specific scope and exclusions in writing. On an assumed USD 10,000 fee base, 3\u20135% is USD 300\u2013500; that arithmetic does not price testing, warehousing or Irish delivery.

These are manufacturer descriptions, not evidence of an independently approved Irish shipment. Verify the contracting factory, exact model and required product evidence before treating a website as a supplier shortlist.<\/p><p>KCK.CASA advertises 36 kg\/m\u00b3 foam and up to 70% less freight volume. Those are its stated product claims, not a market-wide compression ratio or an independent test result. Ask for the packed dimensions and gross weight of the actual configuration, the allowed compressed-storage period, recovery method, dimensional acceptance criteria and remedy if recovery fails.<\/p><p>A hypothetical 100-sofa order at 0.90 m\u00b3 per conventional package occupies 90 m\u00b3. At an assumed 0.30 m\u00b3 per compressed package it occupies 30 m\u00b3. That illustrates why carton data matters; it does not prove a threefold increase for your model, safe stacking or a threefold freight saving. LCL rating, handling and destination work still need separate offers.<\/p><ul><li>Approve an opened sample for comfort, dimensions, foam support, cover fit, seams, odour and stability.<\/li><li>Agree a compression-and-recovery trial under stated time, temperature and storage conditions, with measurements at agreed intervals.<\/li><li>Inspect the bag seal, carton identification, moisture protection and allowed stacking.<\/li><li>Confirm whether a used or opened sofa can be returned economically; Maisen notes that an opened item cannot normally go back into its original carton.<\/li><li>Require the actual upholstery\/filling and safety evidence for sale or use in Ireland. A compact carton is not a compliance certificate.<\/li><\/ul><p>Do not copy a universal 24\u201372 hour recovery promise into every purchase order. The model\u2019s instructions and accepted sample determine the check. MOQ, colour mixing and warranty remedies must be confirmed for the specific supplier.<\/p><\/section>\n<section id=\"contract\"><p class=\"dg-eyebrow\">03 \/ Write the use into the seating specification<\/p><h2>Where do I buy bar stools and banquette seating for an Irish restaurant?<\/h2><p>Use Foshan showroom visits to compare comfort and finishes, then qualify the workshop responsible for metal frames, upholstery or fitted seating. A residential sofa producer need not have the drawings, fixing details or repeat-use evidence needed for a restaurant banquette.
