YWAGT / YIWU SOURCING

Common questions.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from international buyers.

What is your minimum order quantity?+

It depends on the product and supplier. Factory-direct items may start at 50–100 units; standard market goods can be as low as 10–20 pieces. We negotiate on your behalf.

Can you work with small first-time orders?+

Yes. Many first-time importers start with small test orders to validate a product before committing to container quantities.

How do you handle quality control?+

We inspect onsite, take photos and video, and send a QC report before shipment. If goods do not meet the agreed specifications, we pause and negotiate corrections.

What about shipping?+

We coordinate sea, air and express shipping, plus consolidation at our Yiwu warehouse. The best method depends on your timeline and volume.

Can I get samples first?+

Absolutely. We can source samples before a full order. Sample costs are typically refunded or deducted from your first production order.

How long does the process take?+

Sourcing and sampling usually takes 1–2 weeks, while production takes 2–4 weeks. Shipping time varies by method and destination.

Do you handle custom packaging?+

Yes. We coordinate custom packaging, labels and poly bags with suppliers and include the costs and lead times in your quote.

Are there monthly fees or retainers?+

No. We charge on a per-order basis with a transparent markup. There are no subscription fees or minimum charges.
