Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the full sourcing process take?

Timelines vary depending on product complexity and country of origin. Sample sourcing typically takes 10–15 days, while bulk production after approval can take 20–45 days. International shipping to the UK generally adds 5–30 days, depending on the origin and shipping method selected.

Yes, samples are usually charged at cost by the supplier. We will confirm sample costs before ordering. Some suppliers refund the sample cost if a bulk order is placed.

MOQs vary by product and supplier. Many suppliers will accept small batches (30–100 units) for testing. Others require 200+ units for bulk orders. We find suppliers that match your required quantity.

If you are an authorised reseller or licensee, we may be able to assist. However, you must provide documentation proving your authorisation. We do not source unauthorised branded, replica, or counterfeit products under any circumstances.

We issue invoices via professional invoice systems. Bank transfer is the primary payment method for sourcing services. Supplier payments are coordinated separately and details are confirmed at the time of order.

We can discuss shipping to UK addresses, freight forwarders, or third-party logistics partners. Amazon FBA shipment preparation may require specific labelling – please mention this in your brief.
