MOQ, Samples & Lead Times — Order Terms in Plain Numbers
Most sourcing friction comes from terms that were never written down. This page states our order terms exactly as they appear on a quotation: a 300-piece per-model MOQ, samples in 7-10 days, and 30-45 days of production after sample approval.
No tiers hidden behind a form, no 'it depends' — and where customization changes a number, the change is on the quote before you commit.
The Order Timeline, Stage by Stage
From first email to container departure, here is what happens when.
| Stage | Duration | Your action |
|---|---|---|
| Quotation | 1-2 business days | Send category, quantity, destination port |
| Sample | 7-10 days | Approve spec or request changes |
| Deposit & scheduling | On approval | T/T 30% deposit |
| Production | 30-45 days | Optional in-process photo checks |
| Pre-shipment inspection | Final week | Approve photo report or send QC agent |
| Shipping documents | After balance | T/T 70% balance, then B/L release |

What Moves MOQ and Lead Time
Standard spec orders run at the base numbers. Customization adds setup cost and time — priced, not guessed.
- Custom Pantone colors: fabric MOQ may raise the per-model minimum
- Woven labels and heat-transfer logos: no lead-time impact once artwork is approved
- Retail packaging: add print lead time, quoted per dieline
- ODM development: engineered sample first; timeline fixed in the project plan
- Peak-season slots: book production before Chinese New Year and Q3 outdoor ramps
Where Inspection Fits the Timeline
The 30-45 day production window closes with a pre-shipment inspection — photo report to you, balance payment, then loading. Optional third-party or agent inspection is welcome and can be booked into the schedule at order confirmation.
For the buyer-side view of what to check and when, our bulk-order questions guide walks the same timeline from the importer's chair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 300-piece MOQ per model or per order?▾
Per model. A first order can mix models — e.g. 300 cots plus 300 crates in one container — which is how most retail and e-commerce buyers structure their first program.
What does a sample cost and how fast is it?▾
Samples are prepared in 7-10 days. Sample and courier fees are quoted with your first inquiry and credited against the production order in the usual program pattern — the exact term is stated on the quotation.
Does the 30-45 day lead time include shipping?▾
No — it is production time after sample approval. Freight time depends on lane and term; your quotation shows FOB, CNF and CIF so you can see the freight assumption explicitly.
What is the fastest path to a first order?▾
Send category + quantity + destination port today; approve a standard-spec sample; place the deposit. Standard-spec programs skip development entirely — that is the 30-45 day track.
