Accepted Answer

On-time delivery — how we plan itWe plan delivery dates carefully and keep you informed, but we do not promise a fixed date in advance, because timing depends on factors such as material availability, the point of order confirmation and the workshop schedule at the time.What we can do is agree the production window when the order is confirmed, check the material position first because it is often the limiting factor, and update you if anything changes. The agreed dates are part of your order confirmation.As a general guide, sampling usually takes one to two weeks and bulk production around three to four weeks after sample approval, but the actual timing for your order is confirmed in writing for that order.For rush projects, discuss it early: deciding in advance which elements could be simplified is often faster than trying to compress production itself.Send your target date with the enquiry and we will confirm what is realistic for your order.Comfortable timing usually comes from planning early: confirming the specification, approving the sample without long gaps, and placing the bulk order so it fits the workshop schedule rather than competing with the busiest period.We would rather agree a realistic window and meet it than quote an optimistic date at the enquiry stage, so please share your target and any fixed deadline.

Accepted Answer

Standard export packagingThe standard export packing is folded garments in polybags, packed into cartons with an order reference and a packing list. Sizes and colours are either packed together or separated, according to how you plan to store and ship them.Carton labels and the packing list let you check the delivery against the order and route cartons onward without opening everything.If you need retail-ready packing, such as individual polybags with barcodes, branded bags or hangtags, this can be arranged and is specified before production, because it changes packing time and cost.Carton dimensions and weights are recorded for your logistics planning, and special requirements such as flat or hanging packing are confirmed in advance.Tell us your packing requirement and we will confirm the standard and the options for your order.The packing list and carton marks are prepared so you can receive the goods, check them against the order and forward cartons without opening every box.Where a retailer or warehouse has specific carton labelling requirements, send them before production so they can be applied during packing.

Question 3

After we review your enquiry we issue a written quotation covering the item, the quantity, the unit price and the terms, so you have a document to

Accepted Answer

Quotation and specification on paperAfter we review your enquiry we issue a written quotation covering the item, the quantity, the unit price and the terms, so you have a document to compare and approve rather than a figure given verbally.Alongside the quotation, the specification records what will actually be produced: fabric and weight, colour, measurements or size chart, construction details, decoration, labels and packing. This is the reference both sides work to.Where a detail is not yet fixed, it is marked so it can be agreed before production rather than assumed. Price and terms are confirmed in the quotation, and any order is subject to the agreed contract.If your internal process needs a specific format, tell us and we will follow it where possible.Send your requirement list and we will prepare the quotation and the specification for your review.It is worth checking that the specification matches what you expect before approving, especially measurements, colour, decoration and packing, since those are the details checked during production.Quotation validity depends on material and freight costs at the time, so the current figures are confirmed when you place the order.

Question 4

Fits are created by the pattern, so baggy, skinny, straight or relaxed shapes are drafted rather than achieved by adjusting a standard block. That is

Accepted Answer

Fits such as baggy, skinny and straightFits are created by the pattern, so baggy, skinny, straight or relaxed shapes are drafted rather than achieved by adjusting a standard block. That is what allows the rise, the thigh, the knee and the leg opening to be controlled separately.The practical approach is to agree a reference garment or a specification, then produce a sample so the leg line, the rise and the length can be checked on a body. A fit is easier to judge worn than measured.Individual measurements matter as much as the overall shape: the knee position and the leg opening often decide how a denim reads, so those points are confirmed with you early.Because the pattern carries the fit, it is kept with the specification, so a reorder or a new wash repeats the same silhouette rather than introducing a new one.Send a reference or a written specification and we will confirm the fit approach for your order.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

MOQ for bottomsOur standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style, per color. The minimum applies to each individual style you order, rather than being a total across a whole collection, so a brand can start with one design and still meet the requirement.Sizes can be mixed within one colorway to reach the minimum. For example, a single style and colour can be ordered as a spread of sizes such as S, M, L and XL totalling 100 pieces. Different colours are treated as separate orders, because each colour involves separate fabric or dye lots, separate cutting and separate setup.This structure exists to make small runs practical. Many factories require several hundred pieces per style, which forces young brands to tie up capital in inventory before they know what sells. A 100-piece minimum lets you test a design, gather real customer feedback and scale only what performs.If you are planning several styles, we confirm the minimum for each one in the written quotation and can suggest quantities that keep the first order efficient.

Question 6

Custom rivets, buttons, zips, and leather or woven patches can be added to denim bottoms, and they are agreed with the specification so the same trim

Accepted Answer

Hardware and trims for denim bottomsCustom rivets, buttons, zips, and leather or woven patches can be added to denim bottoms, and they are agreed with the specification so the same trim is used throughout the order.Hardware is selected by finish and size as well as by branding: whether a button carries your logo, the colour of the metal and the size of the rivet all change the look, so they are confirmed on the sample.Where you want your own branding on a button, rivet or patch, the artwork and the material are checked for feasibility, because some custom hardware carries a minimum quantity and a lead time of its own.Trims are part of quality control as well: their attachment and finish are checked before packing, so a loose rivet or a misplaced patch is caught during inspection rather than after delivery.Send your trim references and branding and we will confirm the options for your order.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Distressed, ripped and vintage-wash denimDistressed and ripped effects are created by hand-finishing the garment, so they are a workshop process rather than a print or a pattern change. Vintage-wash looks come from the washing and finishing recipe applied to the fabric.In practice the reference is the starting point: a photograph or a reference garment is used to agree the position, the amount of wear and the colour, then a sample is produced so the result can be checked before bulk.Because hand work varies slightly between pieces, consistency is judged against the approved sample, and the range of acceptable variation is agreed with you rather than left open.Where a distressed look is combined with a wash, the two are developed together, since the wash softens the edges of the effects and changes the final appearance.Send your reference and your fabric idea and we will confirm what can be achieved for your order.

Question 8

Denim for bottoms is commonly chosen between roughly 10 and 14 oz, with lighter weights giving a softer, more flexible feel and heavier weights giving

Accepted Answer

Denim weights and washesDenim for bottoms is commonly chosen between roughly 10 and 14 oz, with lighter weights giving a softer, more flexible feel and heavier weights giving structure and durability. The right choice depends on the look and the season you are selling into.Wash is a separate decision from weight. A raw or rinse finish shows the denim's own character, while stone, acid and enzyme washes soften the surface and change the colour, so the finish is developed on a sample before bulk.Because washing affects shade and slightly the measurements, the approved washed sample is the reference, and the colour and tolerance are agreed after the test rather than before it.Weight and wash also interact: a heavy denim with a strong wash can lose some of its stiffness, which is why we recommend judging the finished sample rather than the raw fabric alone.Tell us the look and the season and we will confirm the weights and washes available for your order.

Question 9

A reorder can be placed in a different colourway. Because MOQ applies per style and per colour, a new colour is treated as its own order quantity,

Accepted Answer

Reordering in a new colourwayA reorder can be placed in a different colourway. Because MOQ applies per style and per colour, a new colour is treated as its own order quantity, so it does not simply join the quantity of the original colour.The practical steps are to confirm the new colour against a swatch or a lab dip, approve it before production, and check that the chosen fabric is available in that colour. Some colours are supported from stock and others need dyeing.Where the style already exists, the pattern and specification carry over, so the new colourway moves more quickly once the colour is approved.Colour approval is the key step: approving on a screen is less reliable than approving a physical swatch, because screens and lighting vary.Send the style, the new colour and the quantity and we will confirm what is possible.Where a colour needs dyeing rather than being held in stock, a lab dip is usually approved first, so the final shade is agreed before bulk rather than discovered afterwards.Because the style and pattern already exist, the main planning work for a new colourway is the colour approval and the fabric check.

Question 10

If delivered goods do not meet the agreed specification, tell us as soon as possible with photos and, where relevant, the carton and style referenc

Accepted Answer

After-sales supportIf delivered goods do not meet the agreed specification, tell us as soon as possible with photos and, where relevant, the carton and style references. We review the point against the approved sample and the inspection records, then agree with you how it will be resolved.Because the specification and approvals are documented, most questions can be settled by comparing the delivered goods with what was agreed before production. Where a correction or replacement is warranted, we agree the remedy and the timing with you in writing.For repeat clients we also review recurring points at the pattern or specification level, so the same issue does not return in the next production run.Remedy details depend on the actual case and are agreed with you rather than pre-set, and nothing is decided without reviewing the goods and the records.Contact us with the order reference and the details and we will start the review.It helps to raise a concern as soon as goods arrive, while the cartons and the packing list are still to hand, because that makes matching the issue to the order straightforward.Where a point relates to the specification rather than a one-off fault, we look at whether the specification itself should be adjusted for future runs.

Question 11

We keep your patterns and specifications so that reorders match the original. How long they are retained is best agreed in writing for your account

Accepted Answer

How long we keep your patternsWe keep your patterns and specifications so that reorders match the original. How long they are retained is best agreed in writing for your account, and we are happy to work to a period that fits your own planning.Keeping the pattern allows a repeat order to be produced without re-developing the fit, which saves time and reduces the risk of small differences appearing between runs.If you would prefer your files not to be retained, we can return or delete them on request after an order, and the arrangement is confirmed with you rather than assumed.Where a design is exclusive, retention is tied to your agreement with us, so your material is not used for anyone else.Tell us your retention preference and we will confirm it in writing.Digital pattern files and the original specification are kept together, so a future order starts from the same reference and the fit does not drift between runs.If a fit was updated at any point, tell us before the reorder so the correct version of the pattern is used rather than an earlier one.

Question 12

A reorder is normally simpler than a first order because the pattern, specification and approvals already exist. It still needs a fresh order confi

Accepted Answer

Reorders: process and timingA reorder is normally simpler than a first order because the pattern, specification and approvals already exist. It still needs a fresh order confirmation, since MOQ applies per style and per colour and materials must be checked again for availability.To place a reorder, send the original style reference, the quantity by size and colour, and any changes you want. We confirm availability of the same fabric and the current price, then produce after your confirmation.Lead time for a reorder is usually shorter than the initial run because development is already complete, but it still depends on fabric availability and the workshop schedule at the time, which we confirm when you place the order.Planning early is the most reliable way to keep timing comfortable, especially ahead of peak season when capacity is booked further in advance.Send your reorder reference and quantities and we will confirm price and timing.Changes to decoration, labels or packing can usually be handled in a reorder, but it helps to state them clearly at the beginning so the specification and the price reflect them.Because materials are checked again, a reorder placed early in the season is easier to schedule than one placed when fabric is already committed elsewhere.

Accepted Answer

Building a competitive product mixA competitive mix usually has a clear core, a few seasonal pieces, and accessories that lift average order value at low risk. We can help by mapping styles to categories and suggesting constructions that fit your price points.The practical approach is to define your entry-level, core and premium tiers, then confirm the fabric and construction that makes each tier credible. This keeps the range coherent instead of a random set of styles.Because our MOQ applies per style and per colour, a mix is planned style by style, so we can sequence the first order around the pieces that matter most to your launch.Any suggestion we give is general guidance based on what we produce rather than a guarantee of sales, and your own market data should lead the decision.Send your price points and categories and we will help structure the mix.Accessories and smaller items can also lift a range at modest cost, because they share branding and packing with the main styles and reduce the risk of a single product failing.Once the tiers are set, the first order can be sequenced so the highest-importance pieces are developed and produced first.

Question 14

Accepted Answer

Styles that perform in US and EU streetwearAcross US and EU streetwear, the categories that recur are heavyweight tees, hoodies and sweatshirts, relaxed-fit bottoms, overshirts and simple accessories. These are recurring categories rather than a promise of performance in your particular market.What tends to separate success is the execution: fabric weight and handfeel, a fit that matches the brand's audience, durable decoration and consistent quality on reorder. Two brands can sell the same category with very different results.The practical way to test is to launch a small number of core pieces, see which resonate with your customers, and then reorder the winners rather than expanding the range too early.We can produce any of these categories to your specification; which will sell in your market depends on your customers and your positioning.Share your market and target price and we will suggest styles to consider.Testing in small quantities before a large commitment is usually cheaper than correcting an overstocked style afterwards. Launch a few pieces, read the response, then reorder what works.Execution details such as fabric weight, print durability and consistent sizing on reorder often matter more to repeat sales than the category itself.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

Choosing what to stock next seasonWe can share what we see being produced across our client base and the construction details that recur, such as heavier cottons, relaxed and boxy fits, washed and garment-dyed finishes, and layered branding. The final buying decision rests on your own customers' data.The useful approach is to balance a small number of trend-led pieces with dependable core styles, so a trend that fades does not leave stock stranded. Your own sell-through, rather than our opinion, should drive volume.Because MOQ applies per style and per colour, it is usually better to test a new direction in one or two colourways, then reorder what works in the same colours or add new ones later.Any trend commentary we give is general observation and is not a forecast or a promise of sales; market conditions vary by region and by season.Tell us your target market and price point and we will suggest styles to consider.It also helps to agree which pieces are core and which are tests. Core styles can be planned in larger quantities, while a trend piece is often safer in one or two colourways at the minimum quantity.Because the same pattern supports a reorder, a piece that performs can be repeated quickly in the same colour or extended into new ones.

Question 16

We can support a launch that needs more than one style. Because we produce tops, bottoms, outerwear and accessories, a first range can be developed

Accepted Answer

Supporting a full range launchWe can support a launch that needs more than one style. Because we produce tops, bottoms, outerwear and accessories, a first range can be developed as a set rather than as unrelated pieces from different suppliers.The practical way to start is a small development group, one or two pieces per category, so you confirm fit, fabric and branding before committing to the full range. This spreads development cost and time across several styles.Where you are launching, we can also sequence production so the styles you plan to sell first are completed first, spreading delivery across the season rather than concentrating everything into a single shipment.MOQ applies per style and per colour, so a range is planned style by style, and the exact structure is confirmed in your quotation.Send your range plan and we will confirm how to develop it.Planning the size curve early also helps, because a range that spans several categories needs a consistent fit language. Agreeing that on the first development pieces saves correction later.Delivery can be staggered across the season, which spreads cash flow and lets you react to early sales before the full range is committed.

Accepted Answer

Keeping exclusive designs exclusiveProtecting an exclusive design means it is produced only for you. We do not sell your patterns, artwork or finished goods to other customers, and your files are used only for your own orders.In practice this can be supported by an NDA, by limiting internal access to the team on your order, and by agreeing in writing that the design is exclusive to your brand.Where you want extra assurance, the specific terms, such as the scope and duration of exclusivity, are set out in your agreement with us so both sides know exactly what is covered.We can also return or delete your files at your request once an order is complete, where you prefer not to leave material with us.Tell us what exclusivity you need and we will confirm the arrangement in writing.It also helps to be explicit about what exclusivity covers: a single style, a category, or an entire range, and whether it is permanent or for a fixed period. Being precise avoids misunderstanding on both sides.In day-to-day practice, exclusivity is protected by keeping your patterns, artwork and finished goods out of any other customer's production, and by limiting access to the team working on your order.

Question 18

Accepted Answer

Signing an NDA before productionWe can sign a non-disclosure agreement before reviewing your designs, tech packs or samples. This is common for brands with original artwork or proprietary fits, and it protects both sides before any order is placed.In practice, an NDA is usually agreed early, before we see sensitive material. If you have your own template we can review it, and otherwise a mutual agreement can be arranged.Beyond the signed document, confidentiality is handled day to day: access to your files is limited to the team working on the order, and patterns and artwork are used only for your production.If you need specific terms, for example around exclusivity, file retention or file return, raise them at the start so they can be included in writing.Send your NDA or your requirement and we will confirm how to proceed.File handling is part of the same conversation: tell us whether you want your designs and patterns returned to you, deleted after the order, or kept for future reorders, and we will confirm how it will be handled.Where you supply your own agreement, we review it before any sensitive material is exchanged, so the protection is in place from the first technical discussion.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

White-label branding on labels and packagingWe can apply your logo to the elements your customers see: neck labels, care labels, hangtags, woven patches, printed or embroidered branding, and the packaging itself, so the product is presented as yours.In practice you provide the artwork and we confirm the material, size and placement on a sample before bulk, since label position affects how the garment sits and reads.Packaging can range from a plain polybag with your sticker through to branded bags and boxes, and the options and any cost difference are set out in your quotation rather than assumed.We keep branding artwork confidential and use it only for your orders, and access to your files can be limited to the team working on them.Send your logo files and the elements you want branded and we will confirm what can be produced.For printed and embroidered branding, vector artwork in a standard format gives the cleanest result, though we can also work from a high-resolution file where that is all that exists.Branding is approved on the sample before bulk production, so you can check size, placement and colour against the actual garment rather than on a screen.

Question 20

Accepted Answer

OEM and ODM — what actually differsThe difference is who creates the product. In OEM you supply the design and we build to it exactly; in ODM we take part in creating the design, advising on fit, fabric and construction to suit your customers.This affects the starting documents: OEM usually begins with your tech pack or reference sample, while ODM can begin with a mood board, a brief, a target price and a few styles you like.It also affects development time and cost. ODM involves more of our development work up front, while OEM is more direct once your specification is clear. Both are quoted according to your project rather than from a standard sheet.Many clients mix the two, running standard styles through ODM to move quickly and signature pieces through OEM for exact control.Tell us how much of the design you want to keep in-house and we will confirm the route and the next steps.For either route, the clearer your starting information, the faster development moves. A short brief, a few reference images and a target price give us enough to quote and to propose a route.Projects often combine the two: existing styles can be adapted through ODM to save development time, while the pieces that define your brand are built through OEM for exact control.

Accepted Answer

Producing under your own brand and private labelProducing under your own brand and private label is a core part of what we do. Your brand can appear on the neck label, care label, hangtag, packaging and any woven patch or embroidery, so the finished garment arrives as your own.The practical steps are to agree the label content, the placement and the artwork, then confirm them on the sample before bulk. Approving labels early avoids surprises later in production.We keep your brand details and designs confidential, and access to your files can be limited to the team working on your order.If you are launching, we can develop a small range first so you can test the market before committing to a full collection, since MOQ applies per style and per colour.Send your brand and product brief and we will confirm how the private-label element can be handled for your order.Label content should also match the rules of the market you sell in, so care instructions and fibre content are printed correctly for your destination. Tell us the market when the labels are designed.Where several colourways share one label design, that usually simplifies approval. If labels change per colourway or per style, tell us at the quotation stage so it is planned into the order.

Accepted Answer

OEM and ODM servicesWe offer both OEM and ODM. In OEM, you bring the design, tech pack or reference sample and we manufacture to your specification. In ODM, we help develop the product itself, suggesting fabrics, fits and construction that suit your market.Most projects sit somewhere between the two, so the practical question is how much of the development you want to own. If you have a clear design, OEM keeps control with you; if you have a brand idea but no technical drawings, ODM moves it forward faster.Both routes run through the same process: brief, sampling, revision, approval, then bulk production with quality checks before shipping.A documented drawing, specification or reference sample is what allows either route to start, and we can help convert a sketch or a reference garment into a production-ready tech pack where needed.Tell us which route fits your project and we will confirm the next step.Deciding early which route you want keeps development efficient. If you plan to sell the design onward as your own, we recommend documenting the specification fully, so the product can be reproduced consistently in later seasons.If you are starting from a reference garment rather than a drawing, we can measure and analyse it and build a specification from that, which works for both OEM and ODM projects.

Accepted Answer

A manufacturer, not a trading companyWe are a direct apparel manufacturer with our own production base in Dongguan, China, and more than 20 years of experience. We are not a trading company that passes your order to an unknown third party.This means sampling, pattern making, production and quality control are handled by our own team, so technical questions are answered by the people who actually make the garments, and pricing comes directly from the factory.Direct manufacturing also makes custom work more practical: because we control the sample room and the pattern, changes to fit, fabric or decoration are handled within the same team rather than relayed between companies.Where a specialised process is needed, we work with vetted partners under our supervision, and we can explain which steps are completed in our own workshop and which are handled by partners.Send your project details and we will confirm how we would produce your order.Because production is under our own roof, communication is shorter: a technical question goes to the pattern maker or the line supervisor directly, rather than through a sales layer that has to check with a supplier.You are also welcome to visit the factory or arrange a video call to see the sample room and the production floor, and we can explain during that discussion which processes are completed by our team and which are handled by specialised partners.

Question 24

We are a manufacturer and normally ship bulk orders to your warehouse or your nominated forwarder. Direct-to-consumer shipping is a different model

Accepted Answer

Shipping directly to your customersWe are a manufacturer and normally ship bulk orders to your warehouse or your nominated forwarder. Direct-to-consumer shipping is a different model and depends on your order structure, your destination and the delivery method used.If you need goods sent to more than one address, the practical approach is to agree it at the quotation stage, because it affects packing, labelling and freight, and may not suit every delivery method.For most brands the smoother route is one consolidated export shipment to your own fulfilment centre, from where you distribute to customers, since this usually keeps freight and customs simpler and more economical.Where a direct arrangement is possible for your case, the terms, packing and documentation are confirmed in writing rather than assumed from a general policy.Describe your delivery requirement with your enquiry and we will confirm what can be arranged for your order.If you are considering sending goods directly to customers, we would need the order data, the packing format and the labelling your carrier requires, since these change what is practical and what it costs.Where returns are part of your model, it is worth planning how they would be handled, because a manufacturer is not normally set up to receive and process consumer returns in the destination country.

Question 25

Accepted Answer

How bulk orders are packed for exportBulk export packing is designed to protect the goods and move efficiently. Garments are usually folded and packed into polybags, then into export cartons, with sizes and colours either packed together or separated according to your instruction.Each carton is labelled with your order reference, and a packing list is prepared so you can check what has arrived and route cartons to different destinations where needed.If you sell online and need individual polybag packing with your own labels or barcodes, this can be arranged and is best specified at the quotation stage, because it affects packing time and cost.Carton dimensions and weights are recorded so you can plan storage and onward shipping, and any special requirement, such as flat or hanging packing, is confirmed before production.Tell us your packing preference and we will confirm the standard and any options for your order.Where a buyer requires barcodes, size stickers or specific carton markings, send the requirements at the quotation stage so labels can be produced and applied during packing rather than afterwards.Packing materials can also be adjusted to your market: for example, certain destinations prefer less plastic, and recycled or paper-based options can be discussed if your brand or retailer asks for them.

Question 26

Accepted Answer

Consolidating several products in one shipmentIf you buy several products from different suppliers, we can sometimes receive and combine goods so they travel in one shipment, which can reduce freight cost and simplify customs clearance. Whether this is practical depends on timing and the nature of the goods.To consolidate successfully, the goods need to be ready at roughly the same time, because storage and timing costs can outweigh the saving if one part arrives much later. It helps to share your expected readiness dates when the shipment is planned.We can also ship to your nominated warehouse or forwarder so you consolidate on your side instead, which keeps full control of the process with you.Documents are prepared so each product in the shipment is clearly identified, which helps at customs and with your own inventory and receiving records.Share your shipment plan and we will confirm what can be consolidated for your order.Where several products travel together, we can also label and split the cartons by product or by destination, so you receive a clear packing list even though everything moves under one shipment reference.Consolidation is not always the cheapest option if it forces one part of the order to wait. Where timing does not line up, shipping in two lots is often more practical, and we are happy to compare both approaches with you.

Question 27

Accepted Answer

DDP, FOB or EXW — choosing the shipping termThese Incoterms describe where our responsibility ends and yours begins. EXW means the goods are collected from our factory; FOB means we deliver them to the port and load them on board; DDP means we deliver to your address with duties paid.The better choice depends on your experience and your freight arrangements. Buyers with their own forwarder often prefer FOB or EXW so they control the freight, while buyers who want one delivered price and less paperwork often prefer DDP.FOB is the most common term for sea shipments, both full container and groupage, while express courier shipments are usually handled under a delivered arrangement because the courier manages the whole journey.Whichever term you choose, it is stated clearly in the quotation so both sides know what is included, and any specific requirement you have, such as a nominated forwarder, can be built into the arrangement.Tell us your preference and destination and we will quote on the term that suits your order.Incoterms also decide practical points such as who pays for loading, who clears export and import, and where risk transfers. These are stated on the quotation so there is no dispute later about which party handles a particular cost.Whichever term you choose, the same term is used consistently on the invoice and shipping documents, because mismatches between them can cause delays at customs or with your bank.

Question 28

Shipping cost depends on the weight or volume of the shipment, the route, the method and the Incoterm, so it is quoted per order rather than set as

Accepted Answer

Shipping cost and transit timeShipping cost depends on the weight or volume of the shipment, the route, the method and the Incoterm, so it is quoted per order rather than set as a fixed rate. Two shipments of similar value can differ widely in cost when one travels by air and the other by sea.As a general guide, sea freight is the most economical option for larger volumes but has the longest transit, air freight is faster at a higher cost, and express courier suits smaller parcels. The exact figure and timing are confirmed in your quotation once the order details are known.Duties and taxes at destination depend on the destination country and the product, and are separate from freight unless you choose a term such as DDP where they are included in the price.Weather, port congestion and peak season can affect actual transit, so we treat transit figures as estimates and keep you informed of the shipment status as it moves.Send the destination, quantity and target date and we will confirm the cost and estimated transit for your order.

Accepted Answer

Shipping your order internationallyWe ship worldwide by sea, air and express courier, and the right method depends on your order size, budget and how urgently you need the goods. Small or urgent shipments usually move by air or courier, while larger orders usually move by sea.The choice of Incoterm decides who arranges and pays for each stage: EXW leaves the goods at our factory, FOB places them on board at the port, and DDP delivers to your address with duties handled. Which term applies to your order is stated in the quotation.We work with freight forwarders and can also ship to your nominated forwarder's warehouse if you prefer to control the freight yourself. Shipping documents are prepared so your customs broker has what is needed at destination.Transit times vary by route, season and shipping method, so we confirm an estimate for your specific destination rather than quoting one figure for everyone.Tell us your destination and target date and we will confirm the shipping options available for your order.Typical shipping documents include the commercial invoice, the packing list and the transport document, such as a bill of lading for sea freight or an air waybill for air freight, together with any certificate of origin or inspection record your buyer has asked for.Cargo insurance is normally arranged by the party responsible for freight under the agreed term, or by you if you prefer to cover it yourself. Tell us early if your buyer requires a specific document set, so it can be prepared before the goods leave.

Social-compliance audits and factory documentsSocial-compliance schemes such as BSCI or Sedex relate to a specific factory and a specific audit, and the documents that satisfy your buyer depend on what your platform or retail customer requires. We do not publish audit claims in advance.The practical route is to tell us which scheme and which documents you need, so we can confirm what is available for the factory producing your order, and whether the requested document can be supplied or whether an audit would be needed.Where your buyer requires a specific audit format, this is best raised at the quotation stage, because it can affect timing and, in some cases, which production route is used for your order.We do not state audit results or membership we cannot support with current paperwork, and any document is confirmed against the actual factory and order rather than assumed.Share your requirement list and we will confirm what can be provided, with the details confirmed in writing.Documentation requests are also easier to answer when they arrive with the enquiry, because the factory that will run your order is confirmed at quotation rather than after the deposit. That keeps expectations aligned from the start.Where a document is not available, we say so plainly and discuss the options with you, rather than supplying a substitute that does not satisfy your buyer's requirement. It is better to resolve this at the quotation stage than at shipping.Infullsail holds BSCI social compliance certification for the factory. Where a material certificate or test report is required for your market, for example OEKO-TEX or specific compliance testing, we confirm availability for the specific fabric and process at the quotation stage.
