Wholesale Ordering Guide: From Product Selection to Shipment
Understand ready-stock orders, custom MOQ, tier pricing, sample timing, bulk production, packaging, payment and delivery planning.
Ready Stock for Speed, Custom Production for Control
Ready-stock orders use existing products and variants, allowing faster dispatch and mixed-style assortment building where product-level minimums permit. Custom projects begin with a written brief and quotation before samples and bulk production.
Prices and timing are confirmed against the exact material, dimensions, finish, stones, quantity, branding, packaging and shipping requirements.
