International logistics involves navigating complex regulations, customs procedures, and handling long distances. We are adept at managing the challenges associated with international borders, shipping routes, and compliance requirements.
Transportation and Delivery Methods
Method: We use dedicated containers for transporting furniture to prevent damage. Each container is used exclusively for your order and is only unpacked at the final destination. This method not only reducestransportation costs but also simplifies customs processes by delivering furniture as a consolidated shipment.
Container Types: We offer two main container sizes, 20 feet and 40 feet, chosen based on the order size. The choice of container affects the final delivery price.

Delivery time
We typically choose Shenzhen's Yantian Port and Shekou Port for shipping goods because these ports have several advantages over ports in Foshan and Guangzhou. The ports in Shenzhen are geographically well-situated and offer many direct international routes, meaning transportation is faster and cheaper. Additionally, Shenzhen is a Special Economic Zone, thus benefiting from tax incentives and simpler trade regulations. These ports are also very modern and operate efficiently, facilitating quicker handling of goods and customs clearance.
