Large Furniture

In recent years, fueled by the rapid growth of global e-commerce platforms, furniture exports have experienced sustained growth. According to statistics, the global furniture market reached approximately USD 766.2 billion in 2024, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.02% from 2024 to 2028. Take the United States, for example—as one of the world’s largest furniture consumer markets, its demand remains robust. In April 2025 alone, nearly 170,000 sofas were sold on Amazon US, underscoring the market’s significant potential.

For cross-border sellers, finding a logistics provider capable of handling bulky furniture is no longer difficult. However, last-mile delivery remains a persistent industry pain point: slow quoting for residential addresses, limited coverage, and difficulty in obtaining compensation for lost items. These issues continue to hinder the global expansion of many brands.

Client Pain Points: Last-Mile Challenges in Oversized Furniture Export 

When Mr. Wang, General Manager of a Zhejiang-based furniture enterprise, contacted us in 2024, he was facing typical challenges in going global:

High Last-Mile Transportation Difficulty: Slow quoting for residential addresses and high cost volatility;

Insufficient Delivery Coverage: Difficulty in achieving door-to-door service for remote areas;

Lost Items and Compensation Issues: Difficulty in assigning responsibility and lengthy compensation cycles in the event of cargo loss.

These pain points not only affect customer experience but also directly erode profit margins, becoming a critical bottleneck for brand internationalization.
