MOQ varies by manufacturer and product type. Typical MOQs range from 100 to 1,000 units. We can help you negotiate lower MOQs, especially for your first order. Some manufacturers also offer sample orders before committing to larger quantities.
Timeline depends on product complexity. Typically: supplier matching (1-2 weeks), sampling (2-4 weeks), production (4-8 weeks), and shipping (2-6 weeks depending on method). We provide detailed timelines for each project.
Our verification process includes: business license validation, factory audits, production capability assessment, quality control system review, and reference checks. We only work with manufacturers who pass our rigorous 50-point verification checklist.
