Comparison
Sample Orders
- Best when you need to review selected items before broader commitment.
- Useful for checking build quality, packaging, and fit for your own channel.
- Applies only to selected sample items, not the full wholesale assortment.
- Works as a smaller step before larger quantity discussion.
Wholesale Inquiry
- Best when you are ready to discuss buyer type, target models, and estimated quantity.
- Used for broader sourcing discussion, repeat purchasing plans, and project scope.
- Can include sample review, private label discussion, and replacement-parts planning.
- Is the right path for account-level business discussion rather than single-item testing.
FAQ
When should I choose a sample order first?
Choose a sample first when you want to evaluate selected items before moving into a larger business discussion.
When should I go directly to wholesale inquiry?
Go directly to wholesale inquiry when you already know the product range, buyer type, and approximate quantity you want to discuss.
Can the two paths connect?
Yes. Many buyers start with sample evaluation and then continue into wholesale discussion after product fit is clearer.
