The Journey

From browsing to UK delivery, in seven steps.

07 steps
Phase One 01

Get Access & See Prices

Steps 01–02
01

Register for Trade Access

Apply with your business details. We verify every application and normally approve registered trade accounts within one working day. We highly recommend adding your WhatsApp number during registration. Many of our container programmes fill quickly on a first come, first served basis. We send stock availability updates, new container deals and ready stock alerts directly to registered buyers via WhatsApp before they are advertised on our portal.
02

Browse Live Delivered Prices

Once approved, you can view factory direct delivered prices across our verified supplier collections, active container programmes and ready stock options. Delivered prices shown on the portal include UK import duty and customs clearance. All prices are shown excluding VAT. Prices are accurate at the time of listing and are reviewed regularly. However, final prices may vary slightly before deposit due to changes in freight rates, exchange rates, supplier costs or container availability. We make every effort to honour the advertised prices and keep portal prices updated as closely as possible.
Phase Two 02

Shortlist & Send Your Enquiry

Steps 03–04
03

Build Your Reservation

Select products from the same supplier collection and reserve units against an active container programme. You can mix models, colours and finishes within your reserved quantity, subject to supplier MOQ, production availability and container capacity. Most container programmes allow flexible colour splits, so you are not stuck with a fixed assortment. You can build your order around the products, colours and quantities your customers actually buy. Special requirements before reserving: if you have any special packaging requirements, custom carton printing, private label or branding requests, please get in touch with us before submitting your reservation. We can confirm feasibility and pricing with the supplier upfront, which avoids delays and adjustments once your order is in production.

Low MOQ Programme

Buy selected furniture in smaller quantities at import prices. Shortlist your products and submit an enquiry; we’ll confirm quantities, pricing and payment terms. Product and supplier minimums apply.

Where possible, we’ll consolidate mixed items into one container, but this cannot be guaranteed. Products may come from different factories, potentially in different countries, and may arrive separately.

Items must be collected within 14 days of arrival at our Birmingham warehouse. Balance payment dates may differ by shipment and will be confirmed on your invoice.

Note: Low MOQ orders may have slightly longer lead times than full or half container orders.

04

Submit Your Order

When your reservation is ready, submit your order through the portal. Minimum half container requirement applies to most container programmes unless stated otherwise. If your requirement is below the minimum quantity, please contact us or submit a custom enquiry through the portal. We will do our best to accommodate smaller requirements where possible.
Phase Three 03

Confirmation, Production & Delivery

Steps 05–07
05

Proforma Invoice & 30% Deposit

After your order is reviewed and accepted, we will issue a proforma invoice confirming product details, quantities, payment terms, estimated delivery timeline and any order-specific notes. A 30% deposit is due within 3 working days of the proforma invoice to secure your production slot, container allocation or stock reservation. Full terms and conditions are provided with your proforma invoice before deposit payment.
06

Production, Loading & Shipment Tracking

Once your deposit is received, the factory order is placed or your container allocation is confirmed. You can track key updates through your dashboard, including production status, loading progress, shipment, transit and estimated UK arrival and delivery to your premises.
07

Balance Payment

The remaining 70% balance is due 10 days before the container arrives at the UK port, unless agreed otherwise in writing. Payment milestones may vary slightly depending on the supplier collection, production schedule or shipment type. Exact payment terms will always be confirmed on your proforma invoice.

Other ways to buy

Made to Order & Custom Enquiries

If you are looking for a product that is not currently listed in an active container programme, you can submit a custom enquiry through the portal. Upload your reference images, dimensions, quantities, colours and any special requirements. We will work with our verified manufacturing partners to assess feasibility, pricing and lead time. We aim to respond to custom enquiries within 2 working days.

Ready Stock

Some product lines may be available as ready stock, either in the UK or at the factory with no production waiting time. Check the Ready Stock section of the portal for current availability, quantities, prices and estimated delivery times.

Important notes

Good to know

  • An enquiry is not an order or a reservation. Availability, final pricing, MOQ, lead time and payment terms are confirmed by Impex after your enquiry.
  • Prices are shown in GBP, UK delivered and excluding VAT. They are accurate at the time of listing and may change before an order is confirmed.
  • A quantity below the listed trade MOQ can still be submitted. We may be able to combine demand from several retailers.
  • Payment terms are agreed per quotation or order and confirmed on your proforma invoice.
  • Product availability depends on factory production schedules and shipping timings.
  • Impex may withdraw or amend a published product or programme at any time before an order is confirmed.
