Case study · Aesthetic clinic owner, Australia — a repeat client

From clinic moodboard to delivery in Australia

Guangzhou and Foshan · April 2025 · 40ft high-cube container

The brief

She originally planned a personal shopping trip. On the phone she asked what I mainly source; when she heard furniture and decor, she decided to try importing the fit-out for her aesthetic clinic from China instead of buying it at home.

The work

Worked from her clinic renders to build the purchase list
Arranged and attended the factory visits
Compared the quotes and negotiated until the prices met her budget
Checked the goods before shipment
Consolidated the orders, with warehousing included for this project
Supervised the container loading
Arranged door-to-door delivery with the forwarder

The result

The first clinic went from purchase list to clinic door, and the saving against buying at home went back into her business. Five months later she came back to Guangzhou for a second, bigger clinic — that order filled a 40ft high-cube container.
