What are the payment terms for orders?

We work mainly on T/T: a 50% deposit to start production, with the remaining 50% paid before shipment. This structure protects both sides - the deposit commits line capacity and materials, and the balance is cleared before goods leave Shenzhen. For qualified large-volume programmes we can also arrange a letter of credit.

How the payment schedule runs

• Deposit (50%) - paid on order confirmation to reserve production lines and stage fabric and trims.
• Production window - sampling and bulk run on the scheduled dates once the deposit is received.
• Balance (50%) - settled before shipment, after final inspection and before the goods are released.
• Transparent milestones - you see the inspection result before the balance is due, so payment follows proof.
• L/C for large orders - letter of credit available for qualified high-volume or enterprise programmes.

Why this structure

A 50% deposit is standard for custom manufacturing because materials are cut to your specification and cannot be sold elsewhere - it covers the fabric, trims and line time committed to your order. The balance-before-shipment step means you pay only once the goods have passed final AQL inspection, so you are not settling for product you have not verified. For first-time partnerships this also keeps both sides' exposure limited while trust is built.

Options for established partners

Once we have a track record together, the terms can flex. Framework-agreement partners with reserved capacity often move to scheduled billing aligned to their forecast, and qualified large orders can use L/C where your finance team requires it. We will propose the arrangement that fits your order size and relationship rather than applying one rule to every client. Tell us your preferred method and we will confirm what your order qualifies for.
