We can also work in stocks but we are much more competitive on large numbers. Our suppliers have the minimum order, the MOQ, the more we can choose a high quantity, the more competitive the price will be.
Anyway our MOQ is 1000pcs for EU Stock.
9- What are your delivery times?
Here it too, it depends on certain factors. First and foremost the quantity, then from the period: by producing and shipping from China we take great care to organize the transportation of our customers’ goods before local holidays such as the New Year (in February) or in time for our summer holidays or for the Christmas holidays.
Approximately shipping by sea from China takes 40 days, by air 15-20 days; with Europe, on the other hand, the timing is much more limited, around 10 days: we always use the most reliable couriers to guarantee delivery in line with the needs of our customers.

15- Do you have the certification?
Yes! For eco-sustainable materials, aimed at children or dedicated to contact with the body (such as gloves, scarves or socks), we ask for certification already in the initial phase.

Each new certification is prepared ad hoc based on the article to be certified.
