Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)
Understanding Minimum Purchase Requirements
What is MOQ?
MOQ stands for Minimum Order Quantity. It refers to the lowest number of units you need to purchase for a specific product. This is a requirement set by our suppliers, not by our store.
Why are there MOQs?
There are a few reasons why suppliers might have minimum order quantities:
- Cost-effectiveness: Processing and shipping smaller orders can be expensive for suppliers. MOQs help ensure a certain level of efficiency in order fulfillment.
- Inventory Management: Suppliers might need to maintain a minimum stock level for certain products. MOQs help them manage their inventory effectively.
- Bulk Discounts: Sometimes, suppliers offer lower prices for larger orders. MOQs might be a way to qualify for those discounts.
How does MOQ affect your shopping experience?
- Global Minimum: We have a global minimum order quantity of [amount] (e.g., USD $50) for all purchases. This means your entire cart needs to reach this amount before you can checkout.
- Variable MOQs for Specific Products: Some products might have higher minimum order quantities set by the supplier. This information won’t be displayed on each product page due to potential variations.
How to find out about product-specific MOQs:
- Add the product to your cart and proceed to checkout. The system will notify you if the quantity doesn’t meet the minimum requirement.
- Contact us with the product name or ID, and we’ll be happy to confirm the MOQ for you.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our goal is to provide you with a wide selection of products at competitive prices. However, minimum order quantities are sometimes necessary to maintain supplier relationships and ensure product availability.
