Supply, quality and price mechanics
Three pages that answer the questions buyers ask after the price: how it ships, how it is checked, and why the minimum order is what it is. No black boxes — the arithmetic is on the page.
- FOB Ningbo
- default term, LCL or full container
- AQL 2.5
- major defect level, ISO 2859-1
- 12–30 days
- production, then sea transit
- USD 40–70
- typical third-party inspection per batch
Pick the question you are asking
Kitchenware is bulky, light and cheap per kilogram — the worst combination for freight. This page is the maths we run before quoting, so you can sanity-check any supplier’s numbers.
Read → Detail Quality controlWe are a sourcing and export partner, not the factory owner — so we do not claim to inspect everything ourselves. Here is exactly how the goods are checked, by whom, and what you get in writing at each step.
Read → Detail MOQ & pricingA 500-piece minimum is not a negotiating tactic. It is the point at which the setup cost stops dominating the unit price — and understanding the arithmetic is the fastest way to get a better deal.
Read →The three numbers behind every quotation
A kitchenware quotation is really three calculations stacked on each other: what the goods cost, how much cubic metre they occupy, and what has to be spent on compliance before they can be sold. Most disagreements between buyer and supplier come from one of the three being invisible.
- Goods cost
- Driven by material, quantity, colour, printing and packing. Documented per SKU on every product row, including the MOQ and the FOB range.
- Cubic volume
- Light bulky goods are charged on volume, not weight. Per-unit CBM is published on every product row because it is the line that most often decides whether a quote is actually competitive.
- Compliance cost
- Fixed per article and per colour, so it behaves very differently at 200 pieces than at 5,000. This is the cost that sets the minimum order, and we show it rather than hide it inside the unit price.
Ask us for a landed-cost model rather than a goods price. Give us the destination port and the quantity, and we will return the numbers with each component separated — including the ones that are usually buried.
