In Bangkok, Thailand, there is a newly opened cafe called “Quiet Time”. The owner, A Ling, hopes to improve the dining experience of customers by introducing stylish and comfortable sofas. After market research, she decided to purchase sofas and other furniture from China. However, facing the cumbersome procurement process and complex logistics arrangements, A Ling felt at a loss. At this time, she heard about SourcingYuan’s service.
1.Types of Sofas
A Ling first consulted the purchasing consultant of SourcingYuan about the types of sofas. The purchasing consultant introduced several sofas suitable for cafes in detail and recommended fabric sofas and leather sofas because they are stylish and easy to clean, suitable for high-frequency use environments. After discussion, A Ling decided to choose a modern and simple fabric sofa to increase the fashion sense of the cafe.

2.Things to note when purchasing sofas from China
After deciding on the sofa style, SourcingYuan helped Aling develop a purchasing plan. First, the purchasing consultant suggested that she determine the budget and select multiple suppliers for comparison. With the help of SourcingYuan, Aling learned about the quotations from different suppliers and found a manufacturer with a good reputation.
Next, the procurement consultant assisted A Ling in preparing the relevant procurement contracts, clarifying the product specifications, delivery time and payment methods to ensure the transparency and security of the procurement process.
3.Sofa packaging and transportation
After the production was completed, SourcingYuan was responsible for the packaging and logistics of the sofa . In order to ensure that the sofa was not damaged during transportation, SourcingYuan used high-strength wooden boxes to ensure that the sofa arrived at the destination safely and intact.
- Pearl cotton wrapping: First, wrap the sofa twice in all directions with pearl cotton to provide good cushioning protection.
- Secure with tape: Then, wrap it with tape to prevent it from shifting during transportation.
- Cardboard protection: Add a layer of cardboard on the outside to further enhance the protection effect.
- Special wooden box : Finally, put the sofa into a special wooden box and fill it with foam and bubble film.

As for the mode of transportation, SourcingYuan suggested using sea freight containers to reduce transportation costs. The procurement consultant explained the sea freight process in detail and arranged a reliable logistics company for A Ling to ensure that the sofa could be delivered to Bangkok on time.

4.What are the benefits of purchasing sofas through a purchasing company and what losses can be avoided?
During the transportation process, SourcingYuan also assisted A Ling in handling customs declaration procedures. As Thailand has strict regulations on imported furniture, SourcingYuan prepared all necessary documents in advance, including commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin, to ensure a smooth customs clearance process.
Finally, the sofa arrived at A Ling’s cafe smoothly. SourcingYuan not only provided high-quality sofas, but also provided one-stop services from procurement to logistics and even customs clearance, which saved A Ling a lot of time and energy. She said with emotion: “Without the help of SourcingYuan, I might feel overwhelmed by the various complicated processes, and even fail in procurement.”
Through this actual case, we can see the importance of SourcingYuan in furniture procurement. It not only helps customers save time and cost, but also reduces the risk in the procurement process and ensures product quality and timely delivery.
