What does one planned seat cost with sea freight?

Divide the whole selected package by your planned seat count. Extra chairs stay in the cost. This is goods plus the sea leg to your port, before the remaining import and local costs.

Site volume-based sea-freight estimate

Share-of-container volume model

Site freight rates dated: 2026-09. The site estimate allocates a container rate by volume, with a range. It is not a booking quote. Actual chargeable weight, handling, consolidation, surcharges and sailing availability need confirmation.

Have a freight amount from a forwarder?

Optional, in the calculation currency, for this exact package and port. Zero is an explicit entered amount. Changing a model, quantity, currency or port clears the affected amount.

Compare plans for 20, 40 and 60 seats

Each plan uses one chair per seat and rounds table counts up using your planning ratio. No quantity discount is assumed. Models stay selected; minimums are not silently increased.

The seats-per-table figure is your layout assumption. It does not confirm that this many people fit at the selected table.

Totals use catalogue prices before currency rounding. Quantities never increase automatically. Known carton multiples are enforced. A bare volume for a multi-chair carton is not assumed to be per chair. For a table split across cartons, the listed complete-table volume is counted once per table.

Chair quantities do not verify table seating capacity, layout, durability or finish compatibility. Confirm the layout and specification before ordering.

Catalogue snapshot:

What the 40-seat package contains

The example uses ten round 90 cm tables and 40 separate metal-frame chairs. This is a purchasing list, not an approved floor plan. Check the arrangement, circulation, accessibility and comfort of four places per table against your room plan.

Confirm seat height against table height, upholstery, colour samples, durability and cleaning requirements. If local rules require evidence of compliance, name the exact standard and request documentation for the selected model.

Costs to add to the furniture total

Use the planner above to compare chair and table packing separately and as a complete package. If a selected product has no recorded volume, the known lines are only a partial sum. Confirm carton dimensions, gross weight and the final packing list before booking freight.

  • Packing and tabletop protection where the chosen specification adds a charge.
  • Sea freight, insurance and destination-port charges.
  • Import duty, taxes, clearance and delivery to the cafe.
  • Assembly, spare chairs, counter, lighting and the rest of the fit-out.

Requesting the whole order

The package button carries both product references and their quantities into the enquiry. Supply a floor plan, delivery city, finish choices and opening date. Ask for goods, packing, freight and local charges to be itemised, with a packing list showing volume and weight.

If a minimum quantity or availability changes, agree the revised package before calculating its total. An order from multiple sources also needs consolidation and a shared dispatch date to be confirmed.

Questions buyers ask

Does the cost per seat include every delivery and import charge?

No. It divides the selected goods price plus a sea-freight estimate or your entered freight amount by planned seats. Missing volume prevents a site freight estimate. Insurance, terminal charges, duties, taxes, clearance, delivery from port and installation remain separate unless itemised in your actual quote.

Does this include everything needed to open a cafe?

It covers the loose chairs and tables selected in the planner. The counter, kitchen, lighting, fitted seating, outdoor furniture, spare chairs, installation and local delivery are outside this goods budget.

Can chair and table quantities be combined to meet a minimum order?

Each model must meet its own listed minimum and any known whole-carton multiple. Combining different chairs or tables does not reduce those requirements. The planner flags quantities that need correction; it never increases your order automatically.

How is the full packing volume calculated?

The planner adds the recorded packed volume for every selected chair and table. A table split into two cartons counts as two cartons, while its complete-table volume is counted once. If any volume is unknown, the known lines remain a partial sum and no full shipment estimate is claimed.

Do I pay anything on this website?

No. The site takes no payment and holds no deposit. A request for quote creates no obligation, and nothing is charged until terms are agreed directly with a sourcing manager.
