Compare category fit, packaging, MOQ, documents, samples and delivery timing before placing a wholesale order.
A practical buying framework
Compare category fit, packaging, MOQ, documents, samples and delivery timing before placing a wholesale order.
A retail buyer comparing suppliers is usually trying to reduce risk: shelf fit, carton plan, documents and a launch window.
- Start with the sales channel and season, not an unfiltered catalog.
- Assign every SKU a role in the assortment: entry, core, feature or group play.
- Ask for carton, case-pack, MOQ and target-market document information.
- Approve samples and packaging details before production.
How buyers usually split the decision
Use the menu below in the first message. It is faster than sending an unfiltered catalog request.
SKU roles
Give each item an entry, core, feature or group-play job before you ask for a catalog dump.
Commercial frame
Quantity, target price, pack format, documents and in-store date belong in the first brief.

Questions buyers ask before they enquire
Do I need a finished SKU list?
No. Category, quantity, market and timing are enough to start a shortlist.
Will one certificate cover the range?
No. Ask for the applicable file for the selected SKU and destination market.
When should a summer program start?
Work backward from the in-store date through sample, artwork, documents, production and sailing.
