How ordering factory-direct home decor works with us
Ordering factory-direct home decor through DecoriQ takes six steps. You approve the offer and the samples, and we handle the rest: factory checks, inspection, import, labels and delivery. If you are working out how to import home decor for the first time, this is the whole route.
Decor is seasonal: autumn, winter and Christmas ranges must be on the shop floor by October–November, and retailers buy them in spring and early summer. So the date you order matters as much as the price. The table below shows how far ahead to plan.
Six steps from enquiry to delivery
-
1
Enquiry
Send product links, photos, catalogue items or a spreadsheet with quantities, the in-store date and the country of delivery. Mixed lists across candles, textiles, glassware and furniture are normal.

Offer
We check prices with manufacturers, or source new ones, and send a written offer with delivered prices, minimums, branding options, lead times and the documents available for each item, such as food-contact declarations or fibre composition.

Order and production
You confirm the order and pay the deposit, typically 30–50 %. We check the factory before ordering, then follow production and keep you updated.
25–45 days -

Inspection
We inspect the goods before shipment: quantity, finish, colour, labels and export packing against the approved sample, including inner boxes and dividers for glass and ceramics. You get a report with photos, then pay the balance.

Frequently asked questions
When should I order Christmas decor wholesale?
As a working guide, place private label orders for autumn, winter and Christmas ranges by June–July, and catalogue orders in spring or early summer, so the goods are in store by October–November. If you are later than that, tell us your in-store date and we check what is still realistic, including air freight for light items.
How do I pay?
Usually a deposit of 30–50 % when you confirm the order and the balance before shipment. Deferred terms are possible for repeat clients. Terms are stated in each offer.
Can I visit the factory?
Yes, by arrangement. We can also arrange video calls from the production floor, which is useful for checking colours and glazes.
What if the goods are damaged or defective?
Defects found at inspection are fixed before shipping. If something is wrong on arrival, including breakage in glass or ceramics, report it promptly with photos taken on unpacking, and we resolve it with a replacement, credit or refund under the terms in the offer.
