Process

How it works

  1. 1
    Submit your request

    Tell us what you need: dimensions, finishes, quantities, and timeline. We ask the right questions so factories quote accurately.

  2. 2
    We quote from vetted factories

    We get comparative quotes from 2–3 factories on our roster who've shipped this category to Australia before. You see the factory price, our fee, and full landed cost.

  3. 3
    Production with QC oversight

    Once you approve, we manage production milestones and run a pre-shipment inspection with photos and a defect log before anything leaves the factory floor.

  4. 4
    Freight, customs, and delivery

    We coordinate sea freight, customs clearance, and door-to-site delivery in Australia. One invoice, one point of contact.

FAQ

Common questions about pools

  • Are Chinese fibreglass pool shells compliant with Australian pool standards?
    Pool shell compliance in Australia is governed by state-level building codes and AS1926 for safety barriers. We can source shells from factories with relevant certifications, and recommend working with your certifier early to confirm documentation requirements in your state.
  • What's the most common pool material order from Chinese factories?
    The most common orders are mosaic tiles for pool linings and natural stone for pool coping and surrounds. Both are significantly cheaper sourced directly than through Australian tile merchants, and quality is consistent with what Australian pools already use.
