Navigating international shipping can be complex, but Hongyi Outdoor Furniture Factory has refined the process to ensure your outdoor furniture arrives safely and efficiently, no matter your location. Here's a detailed breakdown of how we manage global deliveries from our factory to your doorstep.
Once your order is confirmed, our team begins careful preparation. Each piece of furniture is disassembled if necessary and meticulously wrapped with protective materials. We use high-quality, waterproof cardboard and thick foam to prevent scratches and damage during transit. Items are then securely packed into strong, export-grade cartons, clearly labeled with your order information and handling instructions.
The heart of our operation lies in selecting the optimal shipping method. For smaller orders or urgent deliveries, we often recommend air freight, which is faster but comes at a higher cost. For larger bulk orders, sea freight is the most economical and common choice. We work with a network of trusted global freight partners to book space on vessels and manage the entire ocean freight process. You will receive regular updates, including the Bill of Lading and vessel details, so you can track your shipment's progress.
A critical phase is customs clearance. Hongyi handles all necessary export documentation from China, including the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. However, import duties, taxes, and clearance procedures are the responsibility of the buyer in the destination country. We provide all the required paperwork to make this process as smooth as possible for you or your designated customs broker.
Upon arrival at the destination port, your shipment is unloaded and cleared through customs. The final leg of the journey is the "last-mile delivery." We coordinate with local trucking companies to transport the goods from the port to your specified address. For some regions, this may involve additional inland logistics. The entire timeline, from factory dispatch to final delivery, typically ranges from 20 to 50 days, heavily influenced by the destination country, shipping method chosen, and customs processing times.
Our commitment doesn't end at the factory gate. We are dedicated to providing a transparent and reliable international shipping experience, ensuring your investment in quality outdoor furniture is protected every step of the way.
