I thought Alibaba was the rabbit hole...

Apparently Alibaba was only the beginning of this rabbit hole 😅 After sharing that I’ve been looking into sourcing directly from China, you guys FLOODED my comments with companies and places I needed to look into.. SO of course, I did. These are NOT personal recommendations, I haven’t purchased from any of them yet. They’re simply some of the names that kept coming up + companies I’m currently researching for our own build. If you’ve actually ordered building materials, windows, cabinets or furniture from China, please let me know your experience in the comments. I am a very big newbie on purchasing from China. I am not a professional at all. I'm just taking you guys with me through this whole process. In the previous video, I have over a thousand comments and I dug through it all to see who you guys recommended over and over again. So if your couch came out looking like a potato, do not come for me, okay? Purchase at your own risk. The first one is George Group and Foshan, China and this is very popular. If you want to go visit, purchase from China and just do a one-stop shop. This is like the Costco for home building. I'm not joking. This is where you go. If you want to go source everything for your home at a good price in China, this is where you go. The next popular one is Doorwin. They specialize in doors and windows. A very popular TikTok page on here called the Builder Brigade. He's a contractor. He seems to be very reputable. He purchased from the Doorwin. He has a couple videos on it and it looks awesome. This is a bonus. They do have a showroom in Plano, TX. They might have a couple elsewhere, but I know the Plano, TX and the Fort Worth area is a very popular one. So if you're in the area, check it out. The next one is Ferly Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. and this is an indoor outdoor furniture whole home type deal. You literally can send them inspiration pictures and say, this is how big I want this couch. I want these bars to be this wide, this tall. And they will literally customize anything you want. This is another rabbit hole. I'm going down. The last one is Alland Building Materials. They are so awesome to work with. I'm not joking. They are wonderful and very responsive. They are manufacturer/supplier. They will do it all when it comes to cabinetry. So not only kitchen cabinets, but wardrobes, vanities, closets, they'll do your whole home. And it's going to look gorgeous. I'm still waiting on these cabinet quotes. So I have a bunch of quotes coming in. So RTACabinets from Joint Amish quotes and then two quotes from China. So I'm hoping that these will be finalized either this week or next week. Stay tuned. The last one is Alland Building Materials. They are so awesome to work with. I'm not joking. They are wonderful and very responsive. They are manufacturer/supplier. They will do it all when it comes to cabinetry. So not only kitchen cabinets, but wardrobes, vanities, closets, they'll do your whole home. And it's going to look gorgeous.
