Ready-stock orders move faster
Ready-stock wholesale orders can usually be prepared faster because the designs already exist. For small mixed-style orders, buyers should still allow time for picking, checking and packing.
Custom production needs more planning
OEM or ODM orders include design confirmation, sample approval, material preparation, production, packaging and inspection. The more complex the packaging, the more important it is to confirm artwork early.
Choose shipping based on urgency and budget
Express delivery is suitable for samples and urgent small orders. Air freight and sea freight can reduce costs for larger cartons, but they require more planning time.
