This is the vital step which determines if the clients will be satisfied with the flooring products they purchase.
Step 2. Confirm Quotation & Product Samples

Samples will also be provided for the clients to review to ensure they have a good opportunity to look at the product quality, specifications, and color pattern designs.
Step 3: Confirm Purchase Order & Lead Time
Once the client has made the decision to purchase, we will ask the client to sign an official Purchase Order Sheet which includes all the information of the product specifications and production lead time. Once the client has made a deposit payment towards, then we initiate the production lead time.
