Frequently Asked Questions
Industry standard MOQ ranges from 500-3,000 pieces per SKU. However, manufacturers like VF Pleasure offer flexibility with MOQs starting from 100-200 pieces for private label orders, making it easier for new retailers to get started.
Budget $3,000-5,000 for your first order including products ($1,500-3,000), shipping ($200-800), samples ($100-300), and optional certifications/inspections ($200-500). This covers 300-500 units across multiple SKUs.
Verify business registration, request factory tours (video call), check certifications with issuing bodies, use trade assurance platforms, and start with small sample orders. Avoid suppliers who refuse factory tours or demand 100% prepayment.
Typical gross margins range from 60-75%, with premium products achieving 80-85%. After marketing and operational expenses (usually 30-40%), expect net profit margins of 20-35%. Private label products generally offer higher margins than standard wholesale.
