Frequently asked questions
- How should a buyer use the information on this page?
- Use it to prepare the relevant part of a buying brief, then attach the exact product, dimensions, quantity by color and size, destination and required packaging when requesting a quote.
- Does a category or market name replace finished dimensions?
- No. Market names are navigation aids. The order specification should state the finished width and length, component list and any fitted-sheet pocket or closure detail for every SKU.
- Where can I verify the available product parameters?
- Open the linked product detail page and use its material, construction, sizes, customization fields and images. Ask for a sample when a visual or hand-feel decision cannot be made from a specification.
- What is the minimum order rule?
- The minimum is 100 sets for each color-and-size combination. Quantities from different colors or sizes cannot be combined to reach the minimum.
- What makes a quotation comparable?
- Send the same finished specification, quantity matrix, packaging scope, sample requirement, destination and trade basis to every supplier, then separate included and excluded costs.
