Pergolas, outdoor furniture, garden sheds and swim spas — bought at the Foshan factory gate, packed into a shared container, cleared through NZ Customs with duty and GST paid, then delivered and installed by our own Auckland crew.
You pay for the space you use, not for a container you could never fill.
Bulky, heavy, fragile at the corners, and expensive to return. Those are exactly the things a shared container fixes — and exactly the things a courier cannot.
Aluminium louvred roofs, 3×3 to 8×4 m, motorised options.
02Teak, acacia and powder-coated aluminium sets from Foshan.
03Steel and timber-look kitsets, 2×2 to 4×6 m.
04Acrylic swim spas, above-ground pools, heat pumps.
05BBQs, pizza ovens, stainless cabinetry and sinks.
06Composite decking, bamboo screens, privacy panels.
We are not a marketplace, and we are not a shipping agent. We buy the container, we fill it, we clear it, and we unload it in Auckland.
One container at a time — that is the whole business.
Choose from the container list, or send us a photo and a dimension. Reserve by the cubic metre.

5–10 daysMost importers buy through a trading company that buys through an agent. Every hand adds a margin and loses a week. This is the whole chain we use.

Illustrative, based on a 2.6 CBM pergola landed in Auckland. Duty rates differ by product and are confirmed in writing before you pay. GST is included and shown on your invoice.
Most container sellers are brokers: they sell your space, then hand the job to a forwarder. We own the shed in Auckland, the crew that delivers it, and the factory relationships in Guangdong.
We unload, inspect and photograph everything on arrival. Damage is found in our shed, not on your driveway after the driver has left.
Our Auckland crew assembles pergolas, connects spa power and levels sheds. One invoice covers goods, freight, clearance, delivery and installation.
Duty and 15% GST are paid by us at the border. You get one invoice and the customs entry for your records.
Under 55 CBM and the container stays in China. Deposits return within three working days, no questions and no credits.
Heat-treated and stamped pallets only. Biosecurity holds are the most expensive mistake in this trade, and it is ours to avoid, not yours.
Same person answers from order to installation. In Mandarin or English.
Sailing dates are estimates until the container is booked with the line, usually seven days after close. We confirm the actual sailing and landing date by email, and you can watch each step on your order page.
Often yes, depending on size, height and how close it sits to a boundary. Anything over 20 m² or attached to the house usually needs consent from your local council. We give you the drawings, wind and snow load figures and product certification your consent application needs — but the application is yours to lodge.
We photograph every line item when it is unloaded in Auckland. If something is damaged in transit, we tell you before delivery and either replace it on the next container or credit it. If damage is found after delivery, report it within 48 hours with photos and we handle the claim with the line.
By cubic metre, measured on the packed dimensions — not the assembled product. A 8×3 m pergola is about 2.6 CBM packed. We confirm the exact figure in writing before your deposit, and it does not change unless your order changes.
Yes. If you have a factory in China you already buy from, we can collect from them and add your cartons to the container. You keep your own pricing; you pay our per-CBM rate for freight, clearance and delivery.
30% deposit to reserve, balance before the container sails. Bank transfer or card. If the container does not reach 55 CBM, the deposit is refunded in full within three working days.
