Compare Furniture Packing and Shipping Requirements
A practical checklist for preparing and comparing school furniture enquiries.
Buyer checklist
1. Compare the same scope
Check whether quotations cover the same products, quantities, packing method and delivery point. A factory price and a delivered price do not cover the same costs.
2. Request packing data
Ask for carton dimensions, quantities per carton, gross weight and the packing method. Check whether desks and chairs use separate cartons.
3. Verify the loading estimate
Request a loading plan for the proposed product mix. Actual capacity depends on package dimensions, weight limits, handling requirements and container configuration.
4. Plan assembly and spare parts
Clarify which tools and instructions are included, who assembles the furniture and how missing or damaged parts are handled.
5. Confirm costs before ordering
Confirm freight, destination charges and any excluded services with the appropriate logistics provider. Record the agreed scope in the order documents.
