Ordering

Nine steps from your inquiry to after-sales

Each step below says what we do, what you need to supply, and what gets confirmed before the next step starts. Nothing is committed to production on a verbal instruction.

The timeline

What happens, in order

Sampling before quotation, quotation before order, order before production. Where a step has a confirmation point, it is marked.

  1. Inquiry

    You write to us with the end garment and what you are trying to buy. Nothing has to be complete for this step to be useful.

    Your part: the garment, the target market and the approximate quantity.

  2. Requirement confirmation

    We come back with what is workable at your target quality and price, and flag anything that needs a compromise: a weight that will not hold the handle you want, a colour that needs a different yarn, a minimum the volume cannot reach.

    Your part: composition, weight, width, weave or reference sample, colour reference, finish and any certification your buyer requires.

    First confirmation point — the construction and the specification are agreed in writing before sampling starts.

  3. Sampling

    A4 swatches go out free of charge; handloom and lab dips run 7–10 days and development samples 20–30 days, both subject to confirmation. The courier for physical samples is on your account.

    Your part: a delivery address, a courier account, and a written yes or no on each sample. Approval by email or chat is the only approval we act on.

    Second confirmation point — the approved sample and its revision become the bulk standard.

  4. Quotation

    The quotation states unit price, currency, trade term, minimum, lead time, validity and whether freight is included, plus any small-order or development charge. Validity is set per order from the article, the quantity and the upstream price-lock conditions, and is written into the document.

    Your part: the final quantity per colour and the delivery window, so the price is quoted against a real volume rather than an estimate.

  5. Order confirmation

    Work is booked against a written purchase order or contract, with the confirmed sample version, quantity, colour allocation, packing and shipping marks, delivery date and agreed payment arrangement. Nothing is committed to production on a verbal instruction.

    Your part: the purchase order and the agreed payment arrangement for that order.

    Third confirmation point — the written order and the agreed terms. Changes after this are handled as a revision.

  6. Production

    Yarn is booked, the lot is woven or knitted, dyed and finished. Our merchandiser follows the order from confirmation onward and is the person you ask for status.

    Your part: tell us early if a colour, a quantity or a delivery date is moving. A change is checked against price, material and schedule before it is accepted.

  7. Inspection

    Greige inspection, dyeing and finishing follow-up, then inspection of the finished roll to the agreed standard. Quality is our responsibility under our own QC system. Findings are reported before shipment.

    Your part: the inspection standard you want applied, if it differs from the usual four-point check on 100 yards.

    Fourth confirmation point — you decide on any reported finding before the goods are packed for shipment.

  8. Shipment

    Goods are consolidated in Shenzhen or Shanghai and shipped by sea, air or express. We issue the commercial invoice, packing list and product test reports; the transport document comes from the forwarder. Duty-paid delivery to the door can be quoted for destinations in 200+ countries.

    Your part: the consignee details, any labelling or packing instruction, and the documents your customs broker needs.

  9. After-sales

    If something is wrong, we take the complaint, collect the order and batch details with photographs or a sample, check it with production and come back with a position.

    Your part: the order or batch reference, photographs or a sample, and a short description of the problem.

    Fifth confirmation point — the remedy is agreed with you in writing, and we do not repeat compensation for the same loss.

Sampling cycles and production lead times are typical ranges and always subject to confirmation.

Confirmation points

Where the order is actually pinned down

Six points, each closed in writing. If a point is not closed, the next step does not start.

Confirmation points
PointWhat is confirmedHow it is closed
ConstructionThe specification we can actually run: composition, weight, width, weave, colour route and finish.Written reply from us, accepted by you
SampleThe approved handloom, lab dip or development sample, with its revision number.Your written approval, by email or chat
OrderQuantity per colour, price, trade term, delivery date, packing and shipping marks.Written purchase order or contract
ChangeThe effect of a change on price, material, schedule and packing, before it is accepted.Your written confirmation of the change
Inspection findingWhat was found, how much of the lot is affected, and the options available.Your decision before shipment
After-sales remedyWhat we will do and the value it is capped at.Agreed in writing, once per loss
Payment

Payment terms are agreed per order, not published

Payment arrangements are agreed order by order and written into the quotation and the contract. We do not publish deposit percentages or credit terms on this site.

Terms
Agreed per order between the commercial team and you, before production is booked.
Where it is written
In the quotation and the contract or purchase order for that order.
Currency and charges
A new order states the validity of the exchange rate, freight and fuel surcharge, and the conditions under which they can be adjusted.
Ask the commercial team for the terms that apply to your order. Nothing about payment is agreed through this website.
After-sales

If something is wrong, the clock starts at one working day

A complaint is handled by the merchandising team that followed the order, against the batch that was shipped.

First response
Within 1 working day of your complaint reaching us.
Assessment
Within 7 working days once the key information and the necessary samples are complete.
Remedies
Make-up fabric, a re-run, an equivalent deduction or a price adjustment, depending on what the finding is.
Limit
Any remedy is capped at the verified contract value of the fabric affected, and the same loss is not compensated twice.
Quality responsibility
Quality is our responsibility under our own QC system. The finding is reported before shipment so you can decide early.

First response is within 1 working day of the complaint reaching us — the clock does not wait for samples. The completed assessment and an initial plan follow within 7 working days once the key information and necessary samples are in hand.

Keep it moving

What helps at each stage

Most delays in an order come from a missing document or a late change, not from production.

Before sampling

  • The end garment and the market it sells into
  • A reference sample or a written construction
  • A colour reference for a dip

Before the order

  • Quantity per colour, not just the total
  • The delivery window you are working to
  • Packing and shipping-mark requirements

Before shipment

  • Consignee details and the notify party
  • Documents your customs broker needs
  • Any inspection finding you still have to decide on

Start at step one

Send the garment, the quantity and the delivery window you are working to. The first reply will tell you what is workable and what has to be confirmed before sampling.

Metres for woven, kilograms for knit.
Our target for a first manual response is within 1 working hour on business days.
Next step

Send the requirement and the quantity you have in mind

We will confirm the construction, the sampling route, the price and the delivery window before anything is booked.

Quotations, minimums and lead times are confirmed per order.
