What should a wholesale buyer confirm first?
Start with six facts: destination, buyer channel, product or reference code, piece mix, estimated quantity and customization scope.
Wholesale program decisions
Build the order around the sales channel.
The same visual direction can require a different assortment, marking and pack format for hospitality, distribution or retail.
Material, weight and finish
Confirm the required hand feel, polishing direction and color treatment through samples.
Branding, packing and destination
Logo, labels, cartons, retail packs and destination details shape the commercial scope.
Quote preparation
Send the information that changes the quote.
A product photo alone is not enough for an export quotation.
| RFQ field | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Destination | Country or destination port | Clarifies export and packing context. |
| Buyer channel | Distributor, hotel, restaurant, retail or project | Guides assortment and service requirements. |
| Product direction | Reference code, drawing, image or physical sample | Defines whether an existing pattern or development route is suitable. |
| Quantity | Pieces or sets by item | Needed to review MOQ, production and packing route. |
| Customization | Finish, color, logo, set composition and packaging | Separates standard supply from project-specific work. |
| Timing | Sample target or delivery window | Supports a realistic review of the project schedule. |
Evidence before commitment
Review the product, process and packing route.
Use product references to narrow the style, the OEM/ODM workflow to confirm decisions and factory information to understand the production path.

Wholesale flatware questions
What is the MOQ for wholesale flatware?
There is no single MOQ that applies to every project. The applicable quantity depends on the selected pattern, piece mix, finish, decoration, packaging and whether new tooling is required. Send the expected quantity so the correct route can be reviewed.
Can we mix different pieces in one program?
A coordinated program may include forks, spoons, knives and serving pieces. The feasible mix, order allocation and packaging should be confirmed against the selected references and quantity.
Can you add our logo and retail packaging?
Logo marking, labels and private-label packaging can be reviewed. Provide the logo file, position, color direction, sales channel and expected quantity before sample approval.
How is lead time confirmed?
Sample development, production and transport are separate stages. A realistic schedule is confirmed after the product direction, quantity, finish, packaging and approval path are clear.
Can we request a sample?
Sample availability and cost depend on whether an existing reference is suitable or a custom sample is required. Freight and sample terms are confirmed for the project.
