You can find the products you want by yourself in Alibaba or other websites. If you have any trouble, you can send a message to us about your demands for the products you want to put in the box, your budget and other detailed information, then we will search for the suppliers with suitable price from both offline (Yiwu market) and online (1688.com).
After you have potential supplier, you can give us their contact information, so we can communicate with them to confirm details, order products, arrange shipping and collect products into one of our prep centers. You can also order direct by yourself if you know this supplier and they are accountable.

After ordering, we will confirm the order list with different suppliers and find a time to let them send the commodities to our prep center (warehouse). For lodging kits, our prep center located in Yiwu, China would be an ideal option for it’s convenient location and mass capacity of operation.
For every order list, we will check the quantity and quality of each products randomly. If there are unqualified products, we will open more boxes to inspect to be sure of the defect rate. Then we will coordinate with suppliers, letting them send new ones to us, or fix the inferior ones.
For example, one of our customers ordered 130 boxes ceramics dinnerware, but after they arrived, when we opened the first box, we found half of the dinnerware are substandard, so we spent several hours opening all 130 boxes to separate the good ones, and returned the bad ones back to the factories.
After all components be collected, inspected and ready to assemble. They will be stored in our prep center temporarily.
