How Franz Collection started

This article is independent and not affiliated with Franz Collection. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. We are not an authorized dealer.

This is a short, independent history of Franz Collection. It is not a catalog, and Taiwan Buying Agent does not speak for the brand.

Franz Collection is the porcelain brand Franz Chen launched in 2001 after decades making porcelain for other firms through the Seagull Group. The company is based in Taiwan and became known for sculpted porcelain. In 2010 it was used as a Harvard Business School case. Some firing work has been done in Jingdezhen. That history does not mean we buy from a mainland kiln. We buy the Taiwan retail channel you choose, and only after the USD total is on your order page.

What we actually do

You place the request on the order form. You type the Taiwan shelf price in TWD. Staff open the live page, check that the seller delivers inside Taiwan, and look for size, voltage, or bundle changes. We then write item lines and the service fee on your order page in USD. You approve that record before we pay the seller. We do not receive random parcels. Goods come to our warehouse in Taiwan only after that purchase. Questions and substitutions stay in order comments so the approval has a timestamp.

Service fee and the two payments

The service fee is published on pricing. We apply it when we write your order page. You see item totals and the service fee in USD before the first payment. International shipping is not guessed on this page. After the goods are at our warehouse, we weigh them and write a second USD total. Estimates, not final bills, sit on the shipping calculator. Enter the price you saw in TWD. We convert the working total to USD.

Combine sellers, then ship once

A laptop from one Taipei shop and tea from another do not need two international labels. Ask us to hold pieces at the warehouse. We combine them when the products and the paperwork allow it. Glass soy sauce and a full bicycle may still need their own cartons. Service fee rules stay on pricing. Rough weight bands are on the shipping calculator. Final shipping is the weighed parcel, written in USD. The shelf figure you saw was in TWD.

Details that save a rejected order

Tell us if the item is a gift, if it must stay sealed, or if Traditional Chinese packaging is a problem. We can photograph a label before export when you ask in order comments. Taiwan appliances are often 110V with Type A or Type B plugs, close to a US wall and wrong for many 220V homes. Summer humidity is hard on pineapple cakes and some creams. Mention heat if the goods will sit before the second payment. We buy only the item you approved, matched to the listing that day.

From the workshop story to a real purchase

History explains why shoppers look for Franz Collection in Taiwan. It does not reserve stock. When you want a current piece, send the Taiwan product link or a boutique note. We check domestic availability, write USD item lines and the service fee, and ship after you approve both payment stages. See pricing and the shipping calculator. The form still takes the shelf figure in TWD.
