For importers, wholesalers, furniture brands, and private-label programs, compressed sofas should be evaluated as a complete supply program—not only as a product design.
1. Confirm the product and application
Start with the intended channel: retail, e-commerce, hospitality, apartment projects, or wholesale distribution. Confirm the sofa type, seating capacity, fabric, color, dimensions, packaging method, and target market before requesting a quotation.
2. Review compression and packaging data
Ask for the model-specific carton dimensions, packing method, gross weight, and loading reference. These details help buyers compare container utilization, warehouse handling, last-mile delivery, and freight cost per unit.
3. Clarify OEM/ODM requirements
For private-label programs, confirm which elements can be customized: fabric, color, dimensions, labels, cartons, manuals, inserts, and compression packaging. Agree on the sample approval process before bulk production.
4. Confirm MOQ, sample, lead time, and export documents
Before ordering, use the MOQ of 500 units and confirm sample availability, sample lead time, bulk lead time after approval, inspection requirements, carton marks, packing lists, and shipment documentation for the destination market.
5. Use a model-based quotation
A useful quotation should be connected to a specific model and specification set. Send the target quantity, destination country, packaging requirement, and OEM/ODM details so the supplier can provide a clearer quotation and loading reference.
