What is a furniture tour?
A furniture tour is a type of shopping tourism. During the trip, tourists buy goods for home improvement, and it is not only about furniture items. In China you can buy lamps, decor elements, textiles, sanitary ware, garden furniture and even finishing materials. The service appeared on the market about 8 years ago, while Chinese goods were in demand long before that. Residents of the Far Eastern regions of Russia began to go shopping in China in the early 2000s - attracted by the price, and the trip took a little time.
Furniture tour to China is a suitable option for those who need to furnish a cottage, an apartment with a meter of more than 100 square meters, a hotel or a restaurant. The trip becomes profitable when purchasing from $30,000, in which case the client's savings is up to 60%.
The cost of the tour consists of:
- flight (round-trip tickets start at $1000 depending on booking dates and country of departure);
- accommodation (hotels we recommend https://www.booking.com/Share-qptHUg , https://www.booking.com/Share-o0SjxJ - both hotels are close to our office);
- escort (estimated at $200 per day);
- our commission is 10% of the order amount in China (this amount includes transaction support, communication with manufacturers in the process of clarifying the order and production, production control, quality control of goods with unlimited visits to factories, communication with the customer, preparation of goods for shipment, preparation of export documents, organization of delivery and customs clearance.
- Before the trip a deposit of 5000 dollars is paid. From it will be deducted the amount of services for support and the company's commission.
During the furniture tour, the client is accompanied by our translation managers who know the Chinese furniture market well. We also provide a car with a private driver to make it easier for the client to get around Foshan. The cost of our escort is $200 per day for two people.
The client also pays our company 10% of the whole order. This amount includes transaction support, communication with manufacturers in the process of clarifying the order and production, production control, quality control of goods with unlimited visits to factories, communication with the customer, preparation of goods for shipment, preparation of export documents, organization of delivery and customs clearance).

On average, container delivery takes 1.5 months, customs clearance takes 3 to 10 days
The cost of delivery depends on the volume of the container, the cost of customs clearance - on the product codes, weight and material. But the total amount of overhead costs will not exceed 40% of the value of the entire order
The goods are delivered to your doorstep.
