Sourcing women’s apparel from Yiwu is not only about choosing a style and comparing a price. A workable order needs fabric, sizing, colour, MOQ, samples, packaging, lead time and delivery terms confirmed in writing.
Before an RFQ, share the style image or link, product category, quantities by colour and size, target market, sample and customization needs, required delivery date, and intended trade term. With only a picture, a supplier can normally provide only a reference estimate.
Confirm whether the style is in stock, made from an existing pattern, or needs development. Ask for the MOQ per style, whether colours and sizes can be mixed, which elements can be customised, any sample or development fees, and how production lead time is calculated.
For first orders, new styles or customized pieces, approve a sample before bulk production. Check fabric composition, feel and stretch, measurements and tolerances, colours, trims, labels and packaging. Keep the approved sample and specifications as the written production reference.
When placing a bulk order, check style numbers, quantity breakdown, unit-price scope, payment milestones, lead time after sample approval, carton requirements, shipping terms, required documents and pre-shipment inspection method. For EXW Yiwu or FOB Ningbo, write down the exact handover point and each party’s logistics responsibility.
Before shipment, reconcile the goods against the order: quantities, size and colour ratios, visible workmanship, labels, packing, carton marks and documents. Chenqi Clothing, located in Yiwu, supplies women’s dresses, wide-leg bottoms, activewear and thermal sets. MOQ, samples, pricing, mixed colours and sizes, and delivery terms are confirmed case by case through the RFQ.
