Buying furniture in Foshan for the first time? Start here.

Decide whether sourcing fits your project

List the rooms, priority products, budget range and delivery destination first. Consider product costs, professional support, transport, destination charges and installation together. A showroom price alone cannot establish savings. Small replacement orders, urgent delivery or missing measurements may favour a local purchase.

Prepare a room-by-room brief

For each room, record dimensions, style references and essential versus optional products. A budget range or priorities are enough to start. Custom cabinetry requires site measurements, drawings, appliance models and service connections. Inspiration images cannot replace construction dimensions.

Choose the right sourcing setting

Markets and showrooms help compare products, finishes and combinations. Factory discussions can clarify production scope, samples, minimum orders and specifications. Visits require agreement, and factories may not accept single-item orders. Plan around products and confirmed suppliers rather than promising to cover every market in a day.

Compare five sourcing approaches

The sourcing service page compares five approaches, including suitability, fees and the work retained by the buyer. Decide how involved you want to be before choosing visit support, remote coordination or specific assistance. Compare the responsibilities rather than just the service labels.

Confirm payments and responsibilities

Record models, dimensions, finishes, fittings, quantities, packaging, delivery points and the installer. Confirm product and service payees separately, together with supplier deposit terms. Transport, taxes, destination delivery and third-party installation are quoted by scope. Coordination does not create an unlimited guarantee.

Next: start with your brief

Prepare the project country, room list, preferred dates and references. The brief page helps you create a draft for you to send through WhatsApp. Creating a draft does not mean it has been received or a booking confirmed.
