Bring goods from multiple factories together at our Guangzhou warehouse for consolidation and loading. Ask about free warehouse use, including the storage period and any handling or additional charges.

Choose warehouse collection or arrange unpacking, storage and delivery in Australia. Furniture assembly, installation and packaging removal are also available by arrangement. We check your items, location and access before booking.

For builders & trade importers

From your supplier
to your building site.

Furniture, windows, doors and building materials need a freight plan that accounts for packing, lifting and delivery access. Share your supplier list, crate sizes, site postcode and preferred delivery window with our team.

  • Compare FCL, LCL and air freight against the cargo requirements.
  • Review packing lists, weights and supporting documents before dispatch.
  • Coordinate Melbourne delivery, warehouse unpacking or smaller vehicles where suitable.

Product suitability and building compliance remain the importer’s responsibility. Confirm specialist requirements before purchase.

  • First-time importer supportWalk through the shipment stages, documents, likely cost categories and responsibilities, with practical help gathering information from your factory.
  • Import GST guidanceEligible GST-registered importers may be able to claim a credit for import GST on goods imported for a creditable business purpose. Private or domestic imports generally do not qualify. Keep import records and confirm your entitlement and claim amount with your accountant or tax adviser.
