01

What is the MOQ?

+

We can arrange an LCL shipment with no minimum quantity per pot. A basic handling fee of USD 350 applies to each LCL shipment while the same basic item prices are maintained. The selected product mix and packing safety still need to be reviewed.

02

Can different models and finishes be mixed?

+

Potentially. Different product styles, sizes, colours and finishes are reviewed against item compatibility, packing and the final order plan before confirmation.

03

Can I order samples before bulk production?

+

Yes. Samples are recommended for shape, dimensions, clay colour, moss character and acceptable handmade variation. Sample arrangements depend on the selected product and process.

04

What is the production lead time?

+

The typical production lead time is 60–90 days after the product details and order are confirmed. Shipment time is separate.

05

Are the pots frost resistant?

+

Performance depends on the clay body, firing, drainage, saturation, climate and use. Tell us the destination and required standard before quotation; buyer-specific testing must be confirmed rather than assumed.

06

How much variation should buyers expect?

+

Handmade dimensions may vary by approximately 1 cm. Clay tone, firing marks and cultivated moss surfaces also vary naturally; approved samples and agreed tolerances provide the reference.

07

Do you provide matching saucers?

+

Matching saucers are available for selected product families. Confirm the pot code, base size and finish so the current match can be checked.

08

What private-label options are available?

+

Options can include logo embossing during forming, carton labels, barcodes, customer-branded packaging and retail packing, subject to the project.

09

How are the pots packed for export?

+

Packing is designed around the product shape, nesting, protection, carton strength, labels and shipment mode. Pallet and container plans are confirmed after the item mix is fixed.

10

How is the packing quantity confirmed?

+

Packing quantities are confirmed against the selected products, nesting, protection requirements and shipment plan.

11

What information is needed for a quotation?

+

Provide item codes or reference images, finish, quantity, destination country and port, target timing, shipment preference, packing needs and any compliance requirements.
