TL;DR
- • Consolidate in a free zone, then split by market.
- • Escrow each leg independently.
Common questions
What is a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The smallest quantity a supplier will sell in one order. MOQs are shown on each listing and can often be negotiated.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes - most suppliers offer paid samples, and sample orders are escrow-backed like any other order.
How does escrow protect my order?
Your payment is held in escrow and released to the supplier only once you confirm delivery.
