How to do business with suppliers in the District 2

How about the lead time?

The whole leading time slightly varies depending on its product attributes, specific details of parts, and estimated quantities. But more often than not, the lead time is approximately from 5 days to  30 days or so. If they keep components in stock, then the leading time can always be shortened into one week.

But keep in mind that you might be replaced by your competitors if you don’t move fast. When it comes to the lead time, a very important factor should be considered. That’s the deposit. Please remember that, Chinese suppliers won’t start purchasing materials until the deposit hits on their bank account.

How about the MOQ?

Yeah, you might have heard that low MOQ is available in the Yiwu Market. But does it really happen there? It depends.
You might come across a supplier who accepts 1 carton only, but at the next storefront, you can get stung by the hefty MOQ requirement. And why?
The answer lies in whether they have the off-the-shelf stock or not. If they have the off-the-shelf item, they will accept the 1 carton MOQ. Remember that Chinese suppliers are happy to do small business, but they won’t make themselves to.
On the contrary, if they do not have any stock, the supplier will ask for a higher MOQ, because they need time to produce it. It’s a money and time-consuming process. What’s more, their subcontractors have their MOQ requirements. When we pool those together, the final MOQ comes as no surprise.

What if my order can’t reach a container volume?

Don’t worry about that. The Yiwu Market has developed a special global logistics system. Find an agent, and let them deal with all those hassles. They help you prepare necessary documents and consolidate your cargo with many other buyers’ into one container. Send your goods to the designated warehouse, and one month later, your goods will arrive at your side safely. At the same time, buyers share the sea freight together. It saves you a lot of money.
