Frequently Asked Questions

The questions buyers ask before the first order

MOQ, samples, tooling, payments, lead times and certificates — answered without the sales pitch. If something here doesn't match what you were told by email, the email wins; ask us to confirm in writing.

MOQ & Pricing

Minimum order quantities

What is your MOQ?
It depends on the item and the level of customisation. Standard stocked items start from 50–100 pcs per SKU. Private-label runs with your logo and packaging typically start from 200–500 pcs. Fully custom tooling (ODM) is quoted per project. Tell us the SKU and we'll give you the exact number in writing.
Can I mix categories in one order?
Yes. Mixed-category and mixed-SKU orders are one of the main reasons buyers work with us — the MOQ applies per SKU, not per order, and everything ships in one consolidated shipment.
Do you offer tiered pricing?
Yes. Unit price steps down at agreed quantity bands. The bands are stated in the quotation, so you can see exactly what the next 500 units would cost before you commit.
Why don't you show prices on the website?
Because price depends on quantity, customisation, packaging and Incoterm — and because published prices are visible to your competitors. We quote per project within 4 business hours instead.
Samples

Sample policy

Are samples free?
Stocked standard samples are free — you cover the courier cost. Custom samples made to your logo, colour or dimensions are charged at cost, and the sample fee is credited against your first bulk order.
How long does a sample take?
Stocked samples ship within [X] business days. Custom samples take [X]–[X] days depending on whether tooling is involved. We give you a date with the quotation, not after payment.
Can I get a sample with my own branding?
Yes, and we recommend it. You approve a branded sample before bulk production starts, so there are no surprises on logo placement or finish.
Lead Times

Sampling & production schedules

What is your bulk production lead time?
[X]–[X] days after sample approval and deposit, depending on order size, season and whether new tooling is required. Peak season (Q4) schedules are confirmed at quotation stage.
How long does a new mould take?
Typically [X]–[X] days from drawing approval to first trial shot, followed by [X] days for sample refinement before production begins.
Can you meet a fixed delivery date?
Tell us the date before you order. If it is not achievable we will say so up front rather than accept the order and miss it.
Payment

Payment terms

What payment methods do you accept?
T/T bank transfer to our company account as standard. L/C at sight for qualifying order values, and PayPal or Western Union for sample and small-order payments.
What is the standard deposit?
[30]% deposit with the order, [70]% balance against a copy of the bill of lading. Long-term partners can be reviewed for extended terms.
Which company name will I be paying?
JIANGMEN JINTENG TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. — the same entity named in our contract and on your commercial invoice. We will never ask you to pay a personal or third-party account.
Can I use trade assurance or escrow?
Yes. For buyers who prefer platform protection, we can transact under Alibaba Trade Assurance terms by arrangement.
Customisation

OEM & ODM process

What can you customise?
Logo (laser, print, emboss), colour and finish, material grade, dimensions, packaging, instruction leaflets and barcodes. On ODM projects we work from your drawing or a reference sample.
Do I own the tooling I pay for?
Tooling paid for in full by you is yours. Where we share or refund mould cost against volume, the arrangement is stated in the contract before any work starts.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Send yours, or we will provide one. We routinely work on unreleased designs for brand owners.
Can you match an existing product I already sell?
Usually yes — send the sample or a full specification with dimensions and photos. We will confirm feasibility and whether any existing tooling can be used.
Certificates

Compliance & documentation

Which certificates do you hold?
TÜV Rheinland certified manufacturing, FDA and LFGB food-contact compliance, CE and RoHS on electric lines. Full register with report numbers is on the Certifications page.
Can you provide test reports for my market?
Yes. Where your market requires a specific test, we arrange it with an accredited lab and provide the report. Cost and timeline are quoted before we proceed.
Can I send my own inspector?
Yes. SGS, BV, TÜV or your own QC team are welcome at our facility with prior notice.
Shipping

Logistics & Incoterms

Which Incoterms do you support?
EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. We can quote the same goods under two Incoterms so you can compare against your own forwarder.
Can you handle door-to-door delivery?
Yes on DDP terms to most major markets. Sea, air, rail and express options are quoted with transit estimates.
What if goods arrive damaged?
Photograph the cartons and goods on arrival and notify us within [7] days. Claims are handled under our Return & Refund Policy.
