How we work
The product is only part of the decision.
A furniture order brings together product choice, material decisions, packing and delivery planning. We keep the conversation focused on these details, so each stage has a clear brief and an agreed next step.
Start with the right assortment.
Share the categories, quantities and price positions you are working with. We can discuss a focused product selection and identify which details need to be confirmed before you proceed.
Make specifications clear.
Agree the dimensions, materials, finish and packing requirements for the selected model. Changes should be recorded against the product and order, so the approved version remains clear.
Discuss quality requirements early.
Tell us the checks, documentation and market requirements that apply to your order. The inspection scope and any testing arrangements should be confirmed for the specific product and configuration. See how quality control works →
Plan for the way you receive goods.
Carton sizes, labels, assembly information and packing format can affect the work after arrival. Discuss your warehouse and delivery requirements before the packing specification is agreed.
Keep the order conversation connected.
Use clear product references, agreed specifications and order records when discussing progress or a follow-up question. For any issue after delivery, share the order reference and supporting information with the team.
Buyer questions.
The questions trade buyers ask most, answered before you send an enquiry.
Choosing products
What information helps you recommend the right products?
Tell us about your customers, destination market, product categories, target price position and expected order quantities. Reference images or an initial shortlist are helpful. We can then focus the discussion on relevant models and options.
What are your minimum order quantities?
Minimum quantities depend on the model, material, finish and order configuration. Send us your selected product references and preferred options, and we will confirm the applicable quantities in the quotation.
Can different products be combined in one shipment?
Share your proposed mix of models and quantities. We will review production arrangements, minimum quantities, packing and loading considerations before confirming whether the combination is practical for your order.
Can I choose different fabrics, colours or finishes?
Available options vary by model. We can review your preferred direction, identify suitable material references and explain any effect on quantities, cost, sampling or production timing.
Sampling and ordering
How do samples work?
Tell us which product and specification you want to review. We will confirm sample availability, any development work, sample charges and the expected schedule before proceeding. Sample approval provides a useful reference for the next stage.
Can you develop a product from our brief?
We can discuss development requirements around your intended customer, price position, design direction and functional needs. The scope, sample stages, costs and any project-specific arrangements are agreed before work begins.
How are production lead times confirmed?
Timing depends on the product, order quantity, material availability and production arrangements. Your quotation and order confirmation will set out the relevant schedule and its starting conditions, including any required approvals or payments.
Which trade and payment terms apply?
Trade terms, currency, payment arrangements and the relevant port or place are confirmed in the quotation and order documents. Share any purchasing requirements early so the team can review them with you.
Quality and delivery
What product documents or test information can you provide?
Tell us the model, destination market and documentation you need. We will check what is available for that product and specification, and discuss any additional requirements before the order is confirmed.
Can we discuss inspection or packaging requirements?
Yes. Share your inspection criteria, packaging specifications, label requirements and any agreed test methods during the enquiry stage. The team will review the scope and confirm the applicable arrangements for the order.
Can you provide factory information or support a visit or audit?
Tell us which products and what information you need to assess the supply arrangement. We will discuss the relevant production details and the availability and scope of any visit or audit before arrangements are made.
How is shipping coordinated?
Shipping arrangements depend on the agreed trade terms and order requirements. Our logistics coordinator works with the relevant forwarder and order team on booking information, cut-off dates and shipment details.
Ongoing support
Can you help with product images and other sales materials?
Tell us which models you are working with and where the assets will be used. We can review existing files and discuss additional visual requirements. Scope, usage and any costs are agreed for the project.
What should we send if there is a problem after delivery?
Contact your sales or customer care contact with the order reference, model, affected quantity and clear images of the issue and relevant packaging. These details help the team investigate and coordinate the next steps with you.
How can I request a catalogue or arrange a showroom conversation?
Tell us the categories you are interested in and the timing you have in mind. The sales team can share the available collection information and discuss the relevant next step with you.
Order support is coordinated by Chloe and the customer care team; bookings and shipment planning by Wendy, our shipping coordinator. Inspection work is explained on the quality control page.
Looking to combine products or discuss a trial order?
Availability depends on the models, quantities and loading arrangements. Share your shortlist and we will discuss the options.
Talk through your sourcing requirements.
Tell us the products, quantities and destination you are working with, and we will pick the conversation up from there.
