Buyer FAQ

Questions to answer before you place a furniture order

Commercial information for importers, distributors and private-label buyers sourcing flat-pack furniture from China.

Is LONGVIEW a manufacturer or a trading company?

LONGVIEW is the furniture export brand of Qingdao Longview Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. Production is coordinated through specialist furniture manufacturing partners, with LONGVIEW managing the buyer specification, sampling, quality plan and export process.

Do you work with retail consumers?

No. We supply B2B buyers, including importers, distributors, retailers, buying agents, contract furnishing companies and private-label brands. Pricing is quoted by programme, not by consumer checkout.

What is the standard MOQ?

The typical MOQ is 100 pieces per model and colour. A mixed-container order may be possible after the model mix, sample status and production plan are reviewed.

Can you produce to our drawing or reference sample?

Yes. Send a drawing, product specification, BOM, reference photo or physical sample. We will identify the construction questions that need agreement before quotation.

Which materials can you offer?

We coordinate metal frames with solid wood, MDF veneer, melamine-faced panels and plywood. Powder coating and electroplating are available for metal components. Final grades, finishes and compliance documents are confirmed for the destination market.

Can we choose the hardware?

Yes. Hinges, drawer runners, handles, adjustable feet, shelf supports and anti-tip kits can be selected by price tier and use case. Brand-specific hardware can be discussed during quotation.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Sampling follows a specification review. The sample should cover the construction, finish, hardware, packaging and assembly instructions that will be used in production.

Can we use AQL and our own inspection agency?

Yes. We support an agreed AQL inspection protocol and buyer-nominated third-party inspection agencies. Observation points, sample size and defect definitions should be agreed before production.

How do you pack flat-pack furniture?

The standard approach uses five-layer export cartons, protected panel edges, inner protection, a hardware bag and assembly documents. The exact packaging method is developed around the product weight, finish and transport route.

Can you optimise a container mix?

Yes. We review carton dimensions, stackability and the model mix against the container type. A final loading plan is confirmed after the order quantities and carton sizes are known.

What Incoterm do you quote?

FOB Qingdao is our usual reference for export quotation. Other arrangements may be discussed where the route, responsibility and insurance position are clear.

How long does a project take?

Timing depends on whether the design is new, the sample stage and the production volume. A practical schedule is issued with the quotation, and the production date starts from specification, sample and deposit confirmation.

Can you support private-label packaging?

Yes. Carton markings, hardware-bag labels, assembly-sheet branding and product labels can be reviewed subject to artwork approval and minimum quantities.

Do your product photos show exact stock models?

Some images on this website are illustrative category visuals. They are not stock specifications. The approved sample, drawing and quotation are the contractual reference.
