Montu Soni, director at Jaipur Furniture, explains how you can buy direct from India without filling a container.
Jaipur Furniture is a leading exporter of solid wood home furnishings from India. Combining its UK warehouse in Huntingdon with its own factories in Jaipur and Jodhpur, the business has been a leading presence in the area for the past three decades.
So much so, exporting from India is its specialty, with two buying options offered to make the journey simple for UK customers. “We have hundreds of items available via direct container from our large family-owned factory complex based in the state of Rajasthan in northern India, a region long famed as an important hub for the production of handicrafts.
“We have two buying options, either a Full Container – for high volume buyers, or a Shared Container programme – for FOB pricing, low MOQ and with unlimited SKUs. Working with us can save your business over 40% compared to UK warehousing pricing.”
Montu continued by sharing a real cost example – based at 20 CBM (Cubic Meter – in shipping is the total volume a cargo occupies, calculated as in meters):
Average ocean freight: £2,000 ÷ 65 CBM =£30.77/CBM
20 CBM =£615.40 (incl UK customs clearance)
UK mainland delivery: £35 per CBM
Alternatively, you may arrange your own collection from our Cambs warehouse. Freight rates are indicative and confirmed at the time of shipment.
“The minimum order includes 6pcs of large items, 10 pcs of smaller items over a 20CBM mixed container,” Montu added. “Products can be mixed with different ranges or finishes, as well as include your own designs too, offering plenty of flexibility.”
Why Jaipur Furniture?
“A point of pride is the fact that we have been the proud recipient of India’s Top Export Award in the Solid Wood category for 10 Years and counting,” Montu said. “Our facilities today consist of approximately 2 million square feet of factory, storage and showroom space.
“In addition, we have offices and warehouse spaces in the UK and Germany with a varying selection of our Top-Selling items available domestically. Our factories are family-owned, we offer strong pricing and deliver reliable quality.
“Our intention is that each individual item will have its own story to tell as it takes pride of place in a fully realised room setting. We encourage you to get in touch with us at sales@jaipurfurniture.net as we pride ourselves on the quality of our products.”
