Your Sourcing Partner  

We've streamlined the entire process so you can focus on selling, not managing logistics. Whether you're ordering 10 [flat markers](https://www.cnmonuments.com/wholesale-monuments/north-american-style/flat-markers/) or 500 upright monuments, every order follows the same proven 6-step workflow.

01

Inquiry Stage

## Send Us Your Requirements

Email or fill out our inquiry form with your monument specifications — sketches, photos, catalog references, or detailed dimensions. We accept all common formats including CAD/DWG files.

No commitment required. We respond promptly during China business hours (GMT+8).

02

Initial Phase

## Receive Your CAD Drawing + Quote

Our in-house design team produces a precise 2D CAD drawing with full dimensions, material callouts, and finish specifications. You also receive an itemized FOB quote with per-piece pricing.

Revision scope is confirmed in the quotation, and production starts only after written drawing approval.

 [See CAD Capabilities](https://www.cnmonuments.com/how-we-work/cad-design-capabilities/)

03

Approval Stage

## Approve Drawing & Terms

Once you approve the final CAD drawing, we generate a Purchase Order with all specifications locked in. Standard T/T terms are a 30% deposit to start the order and a 70% balance before shipment after trial-assembly and pre-shipment photo approval.

A 30% deposit starts the order. After trial assembly and the pre-shipment photographs are approved, the remaining 70% is paid before shipment.

04

Production Schedule

## Production with Progress Updates

Your monuments enter our production line: raw block selection — CNC cutting — polishing — engraving/carving — finishing. You receive photo updates at every key stage.

Production is typically about 30 days after the 30% deposit is received and drawings and stone/material details are approved. Complex custom orders are confirmed in the pro forma invoice; ocean transit is separate.

05

Schedule by Review

## 6-Point Quality Inspection & Packing

Every monument passes our 6-point inspection protocol. We send you final inspection photos + a packing video before crating. You can also arrange third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas).

Inspection points: dimensional accuracy (precise tolerance), surface polish (high gloss finish), edge integrity, engraving detail, color consistency, crate construction.

## Shipping & Delivery

A 30% deposit starts the order. After trial assembly and the pre-shipment photographs are approved, the remaining 70% is paid before shipment. We handle [ISPM-15](https://www.ippc.int/en/core-activities/standards-setting/ispms/) crating and export documentation. Both LCL and FCL shipments are accepted; the loading plan, route, port and document scope are confirmed for each shipment.

Ocean freight timing varies by route, carrier, port congestion, and season; the current schedule is confirmed with the freight forwarder before booking.
