Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for standard catalog products?
For standard in-stock products, the minimum order is 100 meters (approximately 330 ft). For products that require production, minimum quantities vary by cable type: high-temperature wire starts at 200m, heating cable at 300m, and custom-specification cables at 500m. Contact us for specific product minimums.
Can I order free samples before committing to a bulk order?
Yes. We provide up to 5 meters of free samples (you pay for shipping) for any in-stock product. For custom specifications, a paid sample reel of 10–50 meters is typically produced before a full production run. Samples are delivered with a batch test report and certificate of conformance.
Are low-MOQ orders price competitive with bulk orders?
Small orders carry a price premium of approximately 10–25% over bulk pricing. However, our factory-direct pricing still typically undercuts US/EU distributor prices for comparable products. We publish volume pricing tiers: samples, small (<500m), medium (500m–5km), and large (>5km), so you always know what to expect.
How long does it take to receive a small order?
In-stock products: 3–5 business days production lead time, plus shipping (DHL Express 3–5 days international; sea freight 25–35 days for larger orders). Made-to-order products under 1km: typically 2–3 weeks production. We can airmobile small volumes for urgent project requirements.
