Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what clients ask most.
Send us your requirement by email or through the enquiry form: product, quantity, target price and any photos or specifications. We confirm the brief in writing and come back with a supplier shortlist and indicative pricing.
No. Many clients start with a photo or a rough idea. We help turn it into a specification a factory can quote on.
It depends on the product. A shortlist and indicative pricing usually come first; samples and production timelines follow and are set out in the quotation.
That is common. We handle suppliers, documents, inspection and freight, and explain each step as we go.
Minimums are set by each factory and vary by product. We tell you the MOQ for each supplier on the shortlist before you commit.
