Asked, answered on the record.
What is a furniture procurement service?
A furniture procurement service handles sourcing, selecting, purchasing, and delivering furniture on your behalf. You submit a brief describing your space, style, and budget. DAF sources the pieces from real suppliers, manages contracts, and coordinates delivery. You don't visit showrooms or manage vendors.
How much does DAF charge for furniture procurement?
DAF charges supplier price plus a flat 20% fee on landed cost — no tiers, no markups on freight or duty. The workshop FOB, freight, customs duty, brokerage, insurance, and DAF fee each appear on separate rows of every costed plan. No hidden markups, no commission from suppliers. Payment terms are 50 percent deposit at signature and 50 percent balance at delivery.
Do you furnish commercial spaces like hotels and restaurants?
Yes. DAF's Commercial division handles FF&E procurement for hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, and other commercial spaces. We manage multi-supplier sourcing and coordinate delivery timelines. The fee is a flat 20% on landed cost — no volume discount, no tiered pricing. Minimum engagement typically starts at $35,000 landed.
How long does a DAF procurement project take?
It depends on the workshop, the container slot and the customs lane, and the range is wide enough that a single average would be a fiction. What we commit to is a named date in the signed plan, with the workshop and the freight terms on it, before anything ships. If that date moves, you hear it from us first — not after.
What happens after delivery?
Every piece is registered with its supplier and the warranty term is recorded against the piece in your portal. Manufacturer warranty applies per each supplier’s own terms — DAF does not underwrite or administer it — and DAF relays a claim on your behalf. If you furnish another room later, DAF re-sources it on the same flat 20% with the same named contact.
