MOQ & pricing

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Stock models can start from 1 pc. OEM orders typically start at 200 pcs; ODM projects are quoted per model after the specification is fixed.

How is the FOB price calculated?

FOB price is tiered by quantity. For robot vacuums the ladder runs US$165/pc at 200–499 pcs, US$130/pc at 500–999 pcs and US$95/pc from 1,000 pcs. Similar ladders apply to cordless vacuums and steam cleaners.

Can I mix several models in one order?

Yes. Mixed containers are common for distributors — the tier is applied per model based on the quantity of each.
