What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Direct answer
Our minimum order is one 40HQ container, and it is quoted as one model in up to two colours. That is the default recommendation for a first order — it keeps the cutting, upholstery and loading runs efficient, so the unit price holds.

Why the minimum is measured in containers
Freight and loading
Sea freight, packing and loading are all planned per container, so the order basis is a container rather than a number of sets.
Fabric and frame runs
Cutting and upholstery are set up per model and per colour. One model in two colours keeps the run clean and the cost stable.
Same standard at any size
Frame, foam D28 / D30 / D35 and 120–150 kg load rating do not change with order size — the minimum is about the container, not about quality.
Repeat orders are simpler
Once a model and colour are on file, the next container reuses the approved specification and moves faster.
How a first container is usually built
1
Choose the model and up to two colours, and state the destination port.
2
Confirm the specification; custom sampling takes 15–25 days after details are settled.
3
Bulk production runs 30–45 days, fastest 25 days. Stock quick runs take 15 days, fastest 10.
4
Inspection, then loading at Ningbo or Shanghai.
| Item | Default |
|---|---|
| Minimum order | 1 × 40HQ container |
| Models per container | One model |
| Colours per model | Up to two |
| Custom sampling | 15–25 days |
| Bulk production | 30–45 days, fastest 25 |
| Stock quick run | 15 days, fastest 10 |
Most retailers open with the best-selling model in two colours, then widen the range on the second container once sell-through is clear.
Limits to plan for
More than two colours on the same model needs to be confirmed with the production line before it is quoted.
Shipping is separate: we confirm production, inspection and loading; the carrier's sailing schedule is not part of the order.
Peak season moves the bulk window, so containers planned around a fixed retail date should be booked early.
Related questions
Can I mix several models in one container?
The default is one model in up to two colours. If you need a mixed-model container, send the model list and quantities and we will confirm what the line can take for that programme.
Does the minimum change for a custom model?
It stays on the same container basis. A new ODM model adds engineering and testing time, and sampling alone takes 15–25 days after details are confirmed.
How many sets fit in a 40HQ?
It depends on the model and the combination. Your quotation states the load quantity for each configuration, and the order is counted in containers rather than sets.
In short: minimum one 40HQ container, one model in up to two colours, sampling 15–25 days, bulk 30–45 days (fastest 25).
