Ordering & Pricing
What is the minimum order quantity?
For standard products, our minimum is typically one container (20ft or 40ft). For full-home furnishing projects, we can accommodate mixed orders as low as $30,000 USD. We're flexible — let's discuss your specific needs.
How are prices determined?
Pricing depends on materials, dimensions, craftsmanship complexity, and order volume. We provide transparent, itemized quotations with no hidden fees. Our factory-direct model means you save 30-50% compared to retail prices in most Western markets.
Can I get samples before placing a large order?
Absolutely. We strongly recommend sampling before committing to large orders. Sample costs vary by product but are typically refunded against your first bulk order. We ship samples via express courier (DHL/FedEx) with delivery in 7-15 days.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C (letter of credit), and Western Union. Standard terms are 30% deposit upon order confirmation, 70% balance before shipment. For repeat clients, we can offer more flexible payment arrangements.
Production & Quality
How long does production take?
Standard production time is 30-45 days after sample approval and deposit receipt. Custom or complex pieces may take 45-60 days. We provide a detailed production timeline with each order and send regular photo/video updates.
How do you ensure quality?
We implement a 4-stage quality control process: 1) Raw material inspection, 2) In-line production checks, 3) Final random inspection (AQL standard), 4) Pre-shipment photo/video documentation. You receive a complete QC report before your goods ship.
Can you do custom designs?
Yes. OEM and ODM are our specialties. Send us your designs, reference photos, or even a sketch — our design team will create detailed drawings and 3D renderings for your approval before production begins.
Shipping & Delivery
Which countries do you ship to?
We've shipped to over 100 countries across North America, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Africa. Whatever your location, we can arrange delivery.
What shipping terms do you offer?
We support FOB Foshan/Guangzhou, CIF to your nearest port, and DDP (door-to-door). DDP is our most popular option — we handle everything including customs clearance and final delivery to your address.
How long does shipping take?
Sea freight typically takes 25-40 days depending on destination. Express samples via air take 7-15 days. We provide real-time container tracking and proactive updates on shipping milestones.
