Packaging discussions are most useful when the supplier knows how the furniture will be handled after dispatch. Share the actual route and sales channel as early as possible.
Describe the delivery journey
Explain whether the order goes to a distribution warehouse, retail store or an operation that dispatches individual online orders. Tell the supplier about any specific handling or packaging requirements.
Ask how components are packed
Discuss protection for surfaces and corners, loose fittings, removable parts and assembly instructions. Ask how pieces are identified so your warehouse can check the order.
Confirm the planning data
Request the packed dimensions, weights and number of cartons per item when available. Confirm these figures for the selected specification before relying on them for shipment planning.
Agree labels and checks
Share required product references, shipping marks and any packaging tests or approval steps. Confirm whether those requirements can be met and how the result will be recorded.
Record responsibilities
Confirm the agreed shipping terms and who arranges each part of the shipment. Discuss the destination requirements with the relevant freight and import specialists before dispatch.
