Questions buyers ask first

Plan the visit around the decisions you need to make.

These are the practical questions overseas buyers usually ask before reserving a Foshan furniture or building-material sourcing day.

01

I only have one day in Foshan. Is that enough to visit furniture markets and factories?

One focused day can be useful when the buyer has a clear product list and limits the route to the most important categories and decisions. It is not realistic to compare every furniture style, visit several distant building-material clusters and complete multiple factory meetings in the same day. VELA Home Global reviews the product list first, groups suitable stops by location and explains what can reasonably be covered before the route is confirmed.

02

Should I start with Lecong furniture showrooms or go directly to factories?

Start with showrooms when you still need to compare styles, comfort, finishes, dimensions or price positions. A factory meeting is more useful after a supplier or product direction has been shortlisted and there are specific questions about customization, production capability, samples or lead time. VELA Home Global selects the visit type from the decision required instead of treating every factory stop as automatically more valuable than a showroom comparison.

03

How do I know the route will match my project instead of becoming a generic shopping tour?

Send the project type, rooms or product categories, quantities, dimensions, drawings or references, preferred style, quality expectations, budget guidance and destination before arrival. VELA Home Global uses this brief to remove unsuitable stops, group the route by category and location, and identify what information should be recorded at each visit. The route is therefore tied to purchasing decisions rather than the number of showrooms visited.

04

What happens after I choose products during the visit?

The product still needs a usable record before it can become an order. VELA Home Global records the supplier and model reference, then follows up on dimensions, materials, finishes, quantities, quotation basis, payment terms and unresolved specification questions. The buyer may stop after the standalone tour or separately appoint VELA for purchasing coordination, supplier follow-up, inspection and shipment preparation.

Who it is for

For buyers ready to compare products and make project decisions in person.

A productive visit requires a product list and priorities before arrival. One generic tour cannot serve a villa buyer, hotel team and building-material importer equally well.

Product list

Categories, quantities, dimensions and rooms or project areas.

Style and references

Images, drawings, mood boards, materials and finish direction.

Budget and quality

Target category budgets and the quality level expected.

Visit logistics

Dates, available days, party size and any factory priorities.

Choose the visit type

Use each stop to answer a different buying question.

A useful Foshan route does not treat every showroom, market and factory as interchangeable. VELA Home Global selects the format that best matches the decision the buyer needs to make.

01

Best when the direction is still open

Showroom discovery

Compare
Style, comfort, dimensions, materials, finishes and indicative price positions across several options.
Expected output
A practical shortlist of models and suppliers that deserve written quotation follow-up.
02

Best for villas, hotels and room schedules

Furniture comparison

Compare
Construction, upholstery, finish, hardware, customization questions and the fit between each item and the project brief.
Expected output
Product references and unresolved specification questions organized by room, category or item.
03

Best for technical and finish decisions

Building-material selection

Compare
Grades, thicknesses, surfaces, colors, accessories, dimensions and installation-related information for the selected categories.
Expected output
Sample or product references connected to the relevant BOQ item, drawing or project area.
04

Best after a direction is shortlisted

Pre-arranged factory discussion

Compare
Customization feasibility, sample needs, production questions and supplier responses to a defined requirement.
Expected output
A written list of technical and commercial points that the supplier must confirm after the meeting.

Showroom or factory?

Choose the visit format from the question you need answered.

A showroom helps buyers compare visible options quickly. A factory discussion becomes useful when the buyer already has a defined product, supplier or production question. Neither format replaces formal verification or inspection.

Decision
Showroom visit
Factory discussion
Best for

Product discovery, side-by-side comparison and narrowing a broad style or material direction.

Discussing a shortlisted product, customization request or production question with a relevant supplier.

Questions answered

What styles, dimensions, finishes and price positions are available to compare?

Can this supplier respond to the defined specification, sample or customization request?

Preparation required

Product categories, dimensions, references, quality expectations and budget guidance.

A clear specification, drawings or sample questions, plus a confirmed appointment and meeting purpose.

Important limitation

A display product and indicative quotation do not prove the final order specification or supplier identity.

A visit is not guaranteed and does not by itself verify legal identity, capability, quality systems or order conformity.

Project evidence

A useful tour produces comparable information, not only photographs.

Travel time, appointment availability and product complexity determine what can be covered. VELA Home Global groups relevant suppliers by location and purchasing decision, then records product references and unresolved questions so the buyer can compare options after the visit.

Working process

Move from a product brief to a decision-ready visit record.

VELA Home Global prepares the route before arrival and separates product discovery, supplier discussion and later purchasing work so the buyer knows what each stage is expected to produce.

01

Review the buying brief

Clarify categories, quantities, dimensions, style, budget guidance, quality level and the decisions that must be made in person.

02

Build the route

Group relevant showrooms by category and location, then request factory appointments only where a specific supplier or production question justifies the visit.

03

Compare and record

Provide local transport and bilingual communication while recording product references, supplier details, visible specifications, indicative terms and open questions.

04

Confirm the next step

Organize quotation follow-up and decide whether the buyer will continue independently or agree a separate purchasing-support scope with VELA.

Buyer questions

Detailed answers about routes, factories, pricing and preparation.

What exactly is included in the USD 150 sourcing day?

VELA Home Global provides one private eight-hour route for up to three guests, normally from 09:00 to 17:00. The scope includes pre-visit route planning, Foshan hotel pickup and drop-off, a private car and driver, fuel, parking, tolls, agreed showroom or pre-arranged factory visits and English-Chinese communication during the day. Lunch, purchases, samples and third-party services are separate.

Can the tour start from Guangzhou or the Canton Fair?

The published USD 150 scope includes pickup and drop-off from a Foshan hotel. A Guangzhou or Canton Fair starting point changes the travel time and transport arrangement, so VELA Home Global must confirm the meeting point, date, luggage, route and any additional cost before booking. Buyers should not assume that a Foshan day can cover the same number of visits when substantial transfer time is added.

How many showrooms or factories can I visit in one day?

There is no responsible fixed number because travel time, product complexity, discussion length and supplier availability are different for every route. VELA Home Global prioritizes the stops most likely to answer the buyer’s product questions. A shorter list with usable comparison records is normally more valuable than rushing through many unrelated showrooms.

Can furniture and building materials be covered on the same day?

Sometimes, but only when the required categories and locations make the route practical. Furniture, tiles, stone, sanitary ware, lighting, cabinetry, doors and windows may belong to different supplier clusters and require different questions. VELA Home Global reviews the list before deciding whether one combined day is realistic or whether the project should be divided into separate routes.

Are factory visits guaranteed when I book the tour?

No. A factory visit depends on supplier relevance, appointment approval, production schedule and availability on the selected date. VELA Home Global requests suitable appointments where a factory discussion supports a real product decision, but it does not promise access to every requested factory or use factory visits as a substitute for formal supplier verification.

What information should I send before the route is planned?

Send the travel date, Foshan hotel, number of guests, project type, destination, product list, quantities, dimensions, drawings or reference images, preferred style, quality level, budget guidance and any suppliers already contacted. VELA Home Global uses this information to group the route and identify which questions should be resolved at each stop.

Does the sourcing tour include supplier verification or quality inspection?

No. A sourcing tour helps with product discovery, physical comparison and supplier discussion. It does not prove the supplier’s legal identity, payment beneficiary, production capability or order conformity. VELA Home Global can separately agree supplier verification, purchasing coordination or pre-shipment inspection after the buyer identifies the products and suppliers that require those controls.

Do I have to use VELA for purchasing after the tour?

No. The private tour is a standalone service. The buyer may take the selection and follow-up information away and continue independently. If further China-side support is required, VELA Home Global can separately confirm an optional purchasing scope at 3% of product value with a USD 200 minimum, together with the exact responsibilities and exclusions before work begins.
