Ordering benches in bulk for urban spaces involves a detailed, collaborative process. It typically starts with finalizing design specifications and material choices between your team and the manufacturer. Once the purchase order is confirmed, production scheduling begins. The factory will source materials and commence fabrication, often providing progress updates.
During manufacturing, quality checks occur at various stages. After assembly, benches undergo a final inspection before protective packaging for shipment. You'll discuss logistics—choosing between sea freight for cost-effectiveness or air freight for speed. The supplier handles export documentation.
Upon arrival at the destination port, the benches clear customs before being transported to your site. Delivery often includes offloading from the truck, but installation services may be an additional option. The entire process, from order to delivery, can take several weeks to months, depending on order complexity, customization, and shipping method. Clear communication with your supplier about timelines and Incoterms is crucial for a smooth project flow.
