Furniture & home & living · Sea LCL / FCL · Wooden crating

Furniture shipping from China, done properly

We collect from furniture factories across Guangdong, inspect every panel and piece, build export-standard wooden crates on site, and consolidate your whole order into one sea shipment — LCL for your volume only, or a full FCL container. You see photos of everything before anything ships.

Why furniture needs a different kind of warehouse

Most consolidation warehouses are built for small parcels. Furniture is a different business — and it's where we're set up to win.

📦 Built for volume, not grams

Furniture ships by CBM on sea freight, billed by the cubic meter. A 0.1 m³ miscalculation on a parcel costs cents; on a cabinet it costs dollars. We measure every piece, every time, and show you the numbers.

🪵 Crating built on site

Assembled furniture and fragile pieces travel in wooden crates built right in our warehouse to ISPM-15 export standard — not outsourced, not improvised. Panel furniture ships in reinforced export cartons.

🏭 In the furniture belt

Our hub is in Guangdong — same-day trucking from Foshan, Zhongshan and Guangzhou furniture factories. Your supplier delivers today, it's inspected and photo-logged tomorrow.

The furniture process, step by step

The same zero-risk flow as everything else we handle — you only pay after approving the photos.

1

Factory delivers to us

Your suppliers ship to our Foshan-area hub with your personal inbound code. We photo-log every arrival within 2 hours. Free.

You approve, then pay

Review the photos on WhatsApp or Google Drive. Happy? Pay the freight and we start crating. Not happy? We coordinate the return to the seller — first 3 returns per month free.

Crated & consolidated

Multiple factories merged into one shipment, extra packaging stripped, fragile pieces crated. Sea LCL, FCL, or door-to-door DDP — tracking shared at every step.
