Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from your sourcing agent — how we protect you, plus the practical details on MOQ, pricing, the Inquiry List, samples, OEM packaging and shipping.
Trust & Protection
How do you verify your suppliers?
We work with factories we have sourced from repeatedly, and we check production capability, product quality and compliance before recommending a supplier for your order.
Is my payment safe?
You pay YiwuPets directly, not an unverified factory account. We confirm the quotation and terms with you before any payment is requested.
What if the product has a quality issue?
Tell us with photos or video as soon as you receive the goods. We contact the supplier on your behalf to resolve it — replacement, compensation or another solution depending on the case.
Do you inspect goods before shipping?
For most orders we can arrange photo or video confirmation before shipment. Third-party inspection can also be arranged for larger orders.
Will I have a dedicated contact, or just a system?
A real sourcing agent follows your inquiry from quotation to delivery. The Inquiry List is just how you send us your requirements — every order is handled by a person.
Ordering & MOQ
What is your MOQ?
MOQ depends on the product, supplier, customization and packaging. The product page shows the current reference MOQ when available, and we confirm the final workable quantity in the quotation.
Can I request a quantity below MOQ?
Yes. You can still send the inquiry. MOQ is a sourcing reference rather than a hard website checkout block, and we will confirm whether a smaller trial quantity is possible.
Can I mix different products or categories?
Yes. YiwuPets supports mixed SKUs and mixed-category sourcing for retailers, distributors and e-commerce sellers.
How does ordering actually work?
You don't check out online like a retail store — that's intentional. Add products to your Inquiry List, and we personally prepare your quotation, confirm terms with you, and guide you through payment once everything is agreed.
Pricing
How do I get the final price?
Send the product SKU and estimated quantity. We confirm final pricing based on quantity, packing, customization and current supplier cost, with no hidden fees added on our side.
Why does the price change from the product page?
Reference prices are estimates. Material cost, packaging, customization and shipping method all affect the final quote, which we confirm before you commit.
Do you charge a service fee?
Our sourcing service fees are explained on the Service Fees page.
Inquiry List
What is the Inquiry List?
It is a B2B quotation list, not a retail shopping cart. Use Add to Inquiry on any product, then review all selected SKUs and quantities together.
Do I need an account?
No. The Inquiry List works without registration. Your current selection is kept in your browser until you submit or clear it.
How many products can I select?
You can select up to 50 products in one Inquiry List. For very large sourcing projects, send the first structured list and tell us that more items will follow.
What information should I send with my list?
Estimated quantity for each SKU, destination country or city, and any logo, color, packaging, barcode or other special requirement will help us quote more accurately.
Samples
Can I get samples first?
Yes. Sample availability and preparation time depend on the product and customization. We confirm both before the sample order.
Are samples free?
Sample cost depends on the product, quantity and customization. Express freight is normally separate. We confirm the cost before arranging shipment.
How are samples shipped?
Samples are usually shipped by express. You may also use your own courier account or appointed forwarder.
OEM & Packaging
Can you add my logo?
Yes. Depending on the product and MOQ, common options include logo stickers, printing, labels, color cards and branded retail packaging.
Can you make retail packaging?
Yes. Retail boxes, color cards, header cards, private label bundles and other packaging can be discussed according to product structure and quantity.
Can you print FNSKU, barcode or carton marks?
Yes. We support common e-commerce and export labels including barcode, FNSKU and carton marks when specifications are supplied.
Shipping & Orders
What shipping methods do you support?
We support express, air freight, sea freight and delivery to your appointed forwarder or warehouse in China.
Can you deliver to my China forwarder?
Yes. We can coordinate delivery to an appointed forwarder or warehouse in China and provide carton information for receiving.
How long does an order take?
Sample and bulk lead times vary by product, supplier, quantity and customization. We confirm the expected timeline before you place the order.
