Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is your standard AQL defect tolerance level for bulk shipment acceptance — AQL 1.5, 2.5, or 4.0?
A: Not specified by supplier — verify before quoting. Quality control includes PU material verification for durability and wear resistance, weight inspection against 0.4-0.45kg specification, dimensional verification against official size #5 (8.5"/21.59cm), and thermal bonded construction inspection for seam integrity. EN71, Material 11P free, and PAHS certifications support quality and safety standards. SupplyBatch recommends discussing specific inspection criteria during the quoting phase. Pre-shipment inspection can be arranged through third-party partners at additional cost.
Q: Do you provide pre-shipment inspection reports with third-party QC sign-off, and what is the cost?
A: Not specified by supplier — verify before quoting. SupplyBatch can coordinate third-party QC inspections through partner firms upon request. The factory's standard QC protocol includes material verification, weight inspection, dimensional verification, thermal bonded construction inspection, and packaging integrity checking. Additional testing and inspection services can be arranged with associated costs discussed during quoting. Pre-shipment photos are available for verification before shipping.
Q: What payment terms do you offer — T/T deposit percentage, balance trigger point, and accepted payment methods?
A: Payment terms include Trade Assurance by Alibaba, T/T (30% deposit in advance, balance against B/L), and LC at sight. Other payment terms can be negotiated. Deposit percentage and balance payment timing are discussed during quoting based on order volume and buyer relationship. SupplyBatch coordinates payment terms aligned with your procurement processes. Extended payment terms may be available for established wholesale clients and larger order volumes.
Q: What is the realistic production lead time from artwork approval to ready-to-ship, not the marketing headline figure?
A: The factory-stated lead time is 15 days for 1-500 pieces and 20 days for 501-5,000 pieces. Production lead time is 25-30 working days after order confirmation. This timeline begins from artwork approval and order confirmation. Sample time is 3-10 days depending on requirements. SupplyBatch recommends adding 2-3 days buffer for artwork approval and packaging review in your planning. For quantities exceeding 5,000 pieces, lead time is negotiable based on factory capacity and production scheduling. The 20,000 pieces per day production capacity supports consistent lead times for large orders.
