Previously, furniture "Made in China" was associated with low quality. But that stereotype is long gone! The market has drastically changed: factories are investing in modern technologies, design, and brand development. Therefore, wholesale furniture from China is a promising business direction. In this article, we will learn how to deliver directly in a profitable and reliable way.
The import process is basically the same as with other goods:
In this niche, special attention is paid to packaging. Even disassembled, the items are bulky: beds, sofas, tables, armchairs. In addition, wood, fabric, and other materials are sensitive to moisture and mechanical damage.
Chinese manufacturers may initially pack furniture items in thin cardboard, which is not suitable for international shipping. DiFFreight provides warehousing services in China — if necessary, we will add dense cardboard, foam, or wooden crates so that the cargo arrives intact.
The second point is the cost of transportation. Not only is the weight of the goods taken into account, but also their volume. Due to dimensions and packaging layers, freight charges increase. Our recommendations:
Furniture is not the easiest niche for beginner entrepreneurs, but it is definitely a very profitable one if you know all the details.
Manufacturers offer a wide range of wicker products using different materials. For example, natural rattan is lightweight and eco-friendly. Vine, bamboo, and even seaweed are also used! You can purchase wicker sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, sun loungers, hanging chairs, and lounge sets.
China is the country with the largest export of office furniture in any price segment. The main types of products:
Wholesale office furniture from China allows significant savings when equipping offices, coworking spaces, conference rooms, and workplaces.
Designed for arranging backyards, terraces, and recreational areas. Rattan, wood, metal, and plastic are the most popular materials. In China, it is profitable to buy outdoor chairs, tables, armchairs, loungers. Thanks to competitive prices and attractive designs, this niche is in high demand.
Local factories offer a huge selection of sofas, armchairs, beds, and ottomans. And TaoBao delivery to Ukraine allows you to get designer pieces not available in the factory segment. At the same time, prices are significantly lower than in Europe or Ukraine, with certification available. Special items and new models are presented live at exhibitions and fairs.
