Hi

I've had a few quotes for cafe style shutters For my living room windows. The people all said the same thing to me that they get them from the same factory in China.

Does anyone know how to order these shutters directly from the china factory and cutout the middle man?

Thanks in advance

    I'm losing the plot Bri............I actually clicked the link. I've had a long day and must be very tired....:D

    On a serious note to the OP.

    I really wouldn't bother going direct to China for 1 set of shutters. If they ever turned up at all, possibly damaged then best of luck in sorting that out.How's your Mandarin?. You would only get a discount if you purchased a couple of hundred sets or sign up to a regular supply contract. For the sake of a few quid just go through a company based in the UK, at least you have some consumer protection.

    OP you do realise it will not be how many shutters you want but how many containers of shutters you need to take. They will not be interested.
