After the order is confirmed, products go into production. Before shipping, we help check key details such as quantity, appearance, size, finish, labels, and packing based on the confirmed order.

    For selected custom products, we can share production progress or finished product photos where applicable.

Step 4: Step 4: Export Packing and Room-by-Room Labeling

Home products are not packed the same way. Cabinets, furniture, tiles, lighting, bathroom products, doors, and hardware need different packing methods. We pack and label items based on product type, room, size, weight, and shipping requirements.

  • We Protect:
    Cartons, foam, corner protection, wrapping, wooden frames, or crates may be used depending on the product.
  • We Label:
    Products can be labeled by room, product category, or order reference to help your local team identify them after arrival.
  • You Receive:
    A shipment that is easier to check, unload, store, and hand over to your local installer or contractor.

We coordinate loading and prepare export-related documents to help your shipment leave China. After the goods arrive, your local broker, forwarder, contractor, or installer can use the packing list, labels, and product information for receiving and installation.

  • We Prepare:
    Packing list, commercial invoice, loading details, and product information for the shipment.
  • We Coordinate:
    We communicate with your forwarder or shipping partner about pickup, loading, and shipping details.

What You Need to Prepare

Ready to source home products from China for your villa, renovation, or whole home project?

You do not need to have every document ready. Send what you have first, and we will help you clarify what is missing.

Send What You Have

How do I start working with George Villa?

Send your floor plan, photos, videos, drawings, BOQ, or product list. We will review your project and help confirm the next step.

Do I need to visit China to place an order?

No. Many overseas clients work with us remotely through WhatsApp, email, video calls, drawings, product photos, and sample options where available.

Can I start if I only have photos and no drawings?​

Yes. You can start with photos, videos, rough measurements, or reference images. We may ask for more details later before quotation or production.

How do you prepare a quotation?​

Quotation depends on product type, size, material, finish, hardware, quantity, customization level, packaging needs, and shipping information.

When does production start?​

Sea transit time depends on your destination port. Generally, it takes 3–8 weeks from our Foshan factory to most countries across North America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. We will provide a precise shipping timeline once we confirm your delivery address as part of your Overseas Homeowner Solution logistics service.

Can I see photos of my products before shipping?

Production starts after the main order details are confirmed, including product list, sizes, materials, colors, finishes, quantities, payment terms, and production schedule.

Can I change sizes or materials after production starts?​

Changes after production starts may not always be possible and may affect cost or lead time. We suggest confirming all key details before production.

How do you pack products for overseas shipping?​

Products are packed based on product type, size, weight, fragility, and shipping method. Packaging may include cartons, foam, corner protection, wrapping, wooden frames, or crates where needed.

Can you ship cabinets, furniture, lighting, tiles, and bathroom products together?​

Yes. Many projects combine different product categories in one shipment. We help organize packing, labels, loading details, and shipping documents.

Who handles customs clearance in my country?​

We help prepare export documents and packing information from China. Destination customs clearance, duties, taxes, and local delivery are usually handled by your local broker, forwarder, or import agent.

Can you work with my local contractor or installer?​

Yes. We can provide product lists, labels, specifications, drawings, and reference information where applicable, so your local team can better understand the products after delivery.
