Yes, if you are furnishing a whole apartment, house or hospitality project. At that size the savings on factory prices in Foshan are larger than the extra costs of freight and import, and one container replaces dozens of separate local deliveries. A whole interior sourced through Andrew One usually costs around 30% of what local suppliers charge for the same rooms. For a single piece of furniture it rarely pays off.
When sourcing from Foshan pays off
| Project | Worth it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Whole apartment or house | Yes | One container, factory prices on every room, one delivery |
| Hotel, restaurant, office | Yes | Many repeated items, custom joinery, strict schedules |
| Several units for an investor | Yes | Same specification repeated, consolidated shipping |
| One room | Sometimes | A consultation and a smaller consolidated shipment can still make sense |
| A single sofa or table | Rarely | Freight and import costs outweigh the saving |
Compare the whole number, not the price of a sofa
The price that matters is the whole interior delivered to your door. A fair comparison with a local quote includes:
- Design: concept, 3D and a VR walk-through of every room, technical drawings. With us it takes two weeks for a whole home, and the design fee is credited back when you order.
- Products: furniture, lighting, kitchens, wardrobes, bathrooms, doors, flooring, stone and tile, priced at factory level.
- Inspection and packing: every piece checked against the drawings and photographed before it is wrapped.
- Freight, insurance, import duty and VAT: quoted up front for your country.
- Delivery and installation: installation drawings travel with the container.
Our free whole-number checklist lists every one of these lines so you can put it next to a local quote.
The risks, and how they are handled
- Will it match the design? You see every piece three times before it ships: in 3D and VR, in the showroom in person or on a live call, and in photographs and films of the finished piece. Nothing is produced before you approve the real material.
- Different factories, one delivery? Everything comes to our own 10 000 m² distribution centre in Foshan, is inspected, packed and labelled by room, and leaves together with one manifest.
- Damage or missing parts? You unpack against the manifest and send photos. Damaged or missing pieces are replaced.
How long it takes
Design takes two weeks, production and consolidation two to four weeks after your final approval, depending on the project, and sea freight four to six weeks. Most whole-home projects land in four to five months from the first call.
