Key Terms & Conditions

Important details about our pricing structure

Minimum Order Value

We understand that clients often need to place a "test order" if they're unfamiliar with a product. Our minimum purchase value for a test order is $10,000 in order to ensure we are able to work with high quality factories and have enough negotiating power with suppliers to impose strict quality control standards and contract terms.

Minimum Fees

The minimum Management Fee is $1,495, even if the percentage specified is less than $1,495 as this is our minimum cost for the deliverables mentioned above.

Note: This fee includes a $275 inspection, multiple supplier background checks [valued at $100 each], professional Chinese contracts and QC checklists, price negotiations that may bring the production price down by as much as 15%, and strong consistent Chinese communications with suppliers keeping them on schedule and ensuring they are abiding by the Quality Control needed for the project.
