Why source here: Foshan (especially Chancheng and Nanhai Districts) is the world’s largest tile manufacturing base, home to 3,000+ factories and 15+ wholesale markets (e.g., Foshan China Ceramic City). It specializes in all tile types for residential and commercial use:

Price & quality:

Customization: Factories accept custom sizes (e.g., 800x1600mm), glaze colors (match your brand palette), and surface textures (matte, polished, rustic).

BETTERluck advantage: Foshan is 1.5-hour drive from our Guangzhou logistics hub—we offer same-day factory pickup with tile-specific packaging (foam separators, reinforced cartons) to prevent cracking.

Why source here: Jinjiang focuses on exterior wall tiles and outdoor tiles—ideal for construction projects (residential complexes, commercial buildings) and outdoor spaces (patios, swimming pools). Key products include:

Price & quality: Exterior wall tiles start at (0.8–)2 per sqm, outdoor anti-slip tiles at (2–)5 per sqm (MOQs: 500–800 sqm). Quality meets international weather-resistance standards (freeze-thaw testing for cold climates, UV resistance for hot regions).

Why source here: Jiaxing excels in high-quality marble-look and stone-look tiles—a cost-effective alternative to natural marble (30–50% cheaper). Key products:

Price & quality: Marble-look porcelain tiles start at (3–)7 per sqm, stone-look tiles at (2.5–)6 per sqm (MOQs: 200–400 sqm). Factories use advanced ink-jet printing technology to create realistic stone textures, with high scratch resistance (Mohs hardness ≥ 6).

Why source here: Qingdao specializes in large-format tiles and industrial-use tiles—ideal for commercial projects (airports, shopping malls) and modern interiors. Key products:

Price & quality: Large-format tiles start at (8–)15 per sqm, industrial heavy-duty tiles at (4–)8 per sqm (MOQs: 150–300 sqm). Tiles undergo strict pressure testing (≥ 1,500 N) to ensure durability in high-traffic areas.

Why source here: Guangzhou is a one-stop hub for small decorative tiles and mosaic:

Price & quality: Glass mosaic tiles start at (10–)25 per sqm, subway tiles at (1.2–)3 per sqm (MOQs: 100–200 sqm). Mosaic tiles are hand-cut for precision, with color consistency across batches.

BETTERluck advantage: Guangzhou is our logistics base—we offer same-day warehouse consolidation and hotel pickup for mosaic tile samples.

Tile-specific care:

Transparent tracking: Receive real-time photos/videos of loading, plus a detailed report (quantity, tile size/style, packaging condition) to verify your order before shipping.

Centralized storage: All your tiles are delivered to our 24/7 monitored warehouse (temperature-controlled to avoid glaze warping), where we sort items by type (e.g., floor vs. wall tiles) or destination (e.g., Dubai vs. Lagos).

Quality checks: Our team inspects every tile for defects (e.g., chips, glaze cracks, size inconsistencies) and coordinates replacements with factories—critical for avoiding rework on construction sites.

Space optimization: We repack LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments to maximize container space (e.g., nesting small tile cartons inside large crates, stacking crates vertically) without damaging tiles. This reduces freight costs by 25–35% compared to shipping individual orders.

Flexible timing: Store tiles for 1–6 weeks (free for consolidation) to align with construction schedules (e.g., holding tiles for hotel renovation start dates, residential project milestones).

Speed advantage: 3–7 days from Guangzhou to major international airports (e.g., London Heathrow, New York JFK, Dubai International). Ideal for:

Protection: We use reinforced crates and shock-absorbent padding to shield tiles from air transit turbulence.

Cost advantage: 20–45 days from Guangzhou to global ports (e.g., Rotterdam, Los Angeles, Durban). Perfect for:

Tile-specific care:

Service terms: Choose EXW (factory pickup + shipping), FOB (delivery to Guangzhou port), or CIF (all costs to your destination port) to fit your budget.

Multi-currency support: Accepts USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, JPY, and local currencies (e.g., AED for the Middle East, ZAR for South Africa). We collect your payment via trusted cross-border providers and disburse funds to Chinese factories in RMB within 1–3 business days.

Risk mitigation: We hold funds until you confirm receipt of your tiles (via our warehouse inspection report)—protecting you from non-delivery or substandard products (e.g., tiles with uneven glaze, size mismatches).

Full compliance: We classify your tiles under the correct HS codes (e.g., 6907 for ceramic floor tiles, 6908 for porcelain tiles, 6914 for mosaic) and prepare all required documents:

Fast processing: Our team resolves issues like missing certification documents upfront, ensuring your goods clear Chinese customs in 1–2 business days.

All-risk coverage: Covers risks like cracking (handling errors), water damage (ocean storms), lost consignments, or theft. For large-format or custom tiles, we offer additional coverage for up to 200% of the consignment value.

Easy claims: If issues arise (e.g., a crate of large-format tiles cracks, mosaic tiles chip), we handle the entire claims process—from filing with the insurer to arranging replacements from your factory—so you don’t miss construction deadlines.

Required documents: We prepare detailed packing lists (itemized by tile type, size, quantity, and sqm), commercial invoices (compliant with your local tax authority), and certification documents (e.g., CE, ASTM) to meet import regulations.

Customs guidance: We share tips to speed up clearance—e.g., labeling tiles with “building materials for construction” to avoid unnecessary inspections, providing test reports for slip resistance (required in EU for bathroom tiles).

Convenient scheduling: Book pickup via our mobile dashboard—we arrive at your hotel (e.g., Baiyun, Tianhe, or Haizhu districts) with tile-specific packaging (foam-padded boxes, rigid cartons) to protect samples (e.g., large-format tile cuttings, mosaic sheets).

Seamless handover: After pickup, we transport your samples to our warehouse for storage or direct shipping—so you can focus on negotiating with factories, not carrying fragile tile samples around the city.

Tile expertise: We understand the unique needs of tile shipments (fragility protection, moisture control, bulk handling) and global import rules for building materials.

Cost savings: Our consolidation, space optimization, and logistics planning cut total costs by 20–40%—helping you reduce construction or renovation expenses.

Reliability: 98% of our tile shipments reach destinations on time and in intact condition, with real-time tracking via our mobile platform.
