Pricing FAQ

1. Why does the per-unit price vary so much between vendors?

Landed cost depends on raw materials, country-of-origin (and applicable FTAs), method of decoration, MOQ tier, and Incoterm. Two ex-works prices that look identical can land 25%+ apart after duty, freight, and currency.

2. What's the minimum order we accept?

MOQ varies by item: 100 for standard apparel, 250 for screen-printed bags, 50 for embroidered patches, 1 for laser-engraved metal. We can also bundle small quantities under a master order to hit better tier pricing.

3. Do you offer price-stability clauses?

Yes. For annual blanket POs above $50K we offer a 12-month price lock subject to raw-material indexes (cotton, PET, copper, energy) staying within ±10% of contract baseline.

4. What's included in DDP pricing?

Production, all packaging, export documentation, freight, insurance, import customs duties and VAT, last-mile delivery to your specified address. The only thing not included is local handling fees if your facility charges receiving fees.

5. How do you handle currency exposure?

We quote in USD by default and offer EUR/GBP for EU clients. For multi-quarter contracts we can lock currency via forward hedge — typically adds 0.3-0.7% to the price for the certainty.

6. Are there hidden fees we should know about?

No. Our quotes itemize: setup (one-time), unit price, freight, insurance, customs duty, VAT (reclaimable), and any handling/inspection fees. We do not charge change-order fees within scope agreed at briefing.

7. Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Tiers typically at 250 / 500 / 1000 / 2500 / 5000 / 10000 units. The biggest jumps are usually at the 1000 and 5000 marks where we can run on dedicated production lines.

8. Can we pay in installments?

Standard terms are 30% on PO, 70% on shipment. For larger contracts ($100K+) we accept 30/40/30 (PO / mid-production / delivery). We can also accept Net 30 for established clients with credit references.
