Buyer questions before the first sample

Send the SKU, carton marks, barcodes, and destination. A repeat of an approved structure is usually 30–45 days. The drawing set stays as approved unless the structure changes. See OEM and ODM.

Late artwork, a structure change after the sample, or a complex build that needs the extra 10–15 days. Name the on-shelf date in the first brief so the buffer is in the plan. See OEM and ODM.

Sales replies on business days with a quote path: product, quantity range, and market. Put those three in the first message on contact so the reply can include a sample plan.

Yes, when the structures are approved together. Each SKU still has its own sample if the print or the cut differs. Plan them on OEM and ODM.

A straight reorder of an approved structure is usually 30–45 days, the same band as OEM bulk, because the dieline is already signed. A new OEM shape still needs the structure sample first. See OEM and ODM.

The 30–45 and 45–60 day windows include the logistics time named on the quote, not a separate hidden week after production. The trade term, EXW, FOB, or DDP, is on that same quote. See export packing.

Yes, when you say so before the cartons close. Marks and quantities are set per shipment. Plan it on export packing.

No. Bulk starts after you approve the official sample in writing. That keeps the print and the cut matched to what you signed. See OEM service.

You, or the person you name in writing. Photos can support the decision. The release for production should still be a written yes. Send it via contact.

Yes. Give both addresses when you request the sample. The 5–7 day make time is the same; courier time follows each address. Ask on contact.
