Most of the furniture in this catalogue is made in Foshan and ships from there, bought from the factories rather than through a market stall, and listed here by price. Foshan, in Guangdong, is one of the main furniture manufacturing centres in China, so sofas, dining furniture, hotel and restaurant ranges and outdoor pieces can come from one region and share one container. Figures are ex-freight: sea freight is quoted by volume to your port, and import duty and clearance are paid by you on arrival.
Sea freight to your port is quoted by volume with your order; import duty, customs clearance and inland delivery are paid by the buyer on arrival.
Because the factories are there. Foshan, in Guangdong province, is one of the main furniture manufacturing centres in China, and its Shunde district, around Lecong and Longjiang, holds a dense cluster of furniture factories, material suppliers and the furniture market that buyers travel to see. Frames, foam, fabric, stone and hardware are made close to each other, which keeps lead times short and lets one order cover several product lines.
No. The market is a showroom district, and many of its halls are run by traders who add their own margin to what a nearby factory makes. We source from the factories. You choose from the catalogue, request a quote, and it comes back with photos, specifications, finishes, the minimum order and the price. A visit can still be worth it for a large fit-out if you want to see materials in person, but it is not needed to place an order.
Usually Guangzhou, through Nansha, or one of the Shenzhen ports, both a short drive from Foshan by truck. Which one is used depends on the sailings to your destination, and the quote names it.
It depends on the piece and the quantity, and it is confirmed with the quote. Standard items in standard finishes are quicker than pieces made to your fabric, colour or size, and the sailing time to your port comes on top.
By volume, in cubic metres, not per item. The quote carries the figure for your quantity and your port, because the same order costs less per unit as it fills more of a container.
It varies by product and each listing shows its own. Many items ship from a single carton; the unit price falls as the volume rises, and a full container is where the freight per unit stops mattering.
No. The site takes no payment and holds no deposit. A request for quote creates no obligation, and nothing is charged until terms are agreed directly with a sourcing manager.
No. Every figure here covers the goods and the sea freight to your port of discharge. Import duty, clearance and inland delivery are paid by the buyer on arrival, and the rate depends on your country.
