Fabric Sourcing FAQ — 20 Questions from Overseas Buyers

Answers on MOQ, FOB price, sampling, lead time, shipping, returns and test reports from Guangzhou Yaqixin Textile.

Twenty questions overseas buyers actually ask before placing a wholesale fabric order, answered from our live catalogue data, published FOB / MOQ fields, Product structured data and terms and conditions.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for your fabrics?

MOQ is set per product, not for the whole catalogue. In our current 2,147-product line the most common minimums are 5 Yard (611 products), 1 Yard (324 products), 2 Yard (226 products), 1 Meter (201 products). The exact figure is printed on every product page in the Key attributes table.

How is the price shown? Is it per meter or per yard?

Each product page shows an FOB range in USD together with its unit — for example "US $1.9 - 2.5 / Meter" or "US $2.8 - 3.6 / Yard". The unit comes from the Alibaba Seller Center listing, so it varies by product: Yard (1,655 products), Meter (378 products), Piece (96 products), Kilogram (15 products). Always check the unit before comparing two quotes.

Why is there a price range instead of one fixed price?

The range reflects the ladder price structure of the listing: the lower figure applies at higher volume and the upper figure at the MOQ. Your final unit price depends on quantity, colour, and whether you need custom printing or dyeing.

Can I buy a single roll or a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. 324 of our products carry a 1-yard MOQ and 201 a 1-meter MOQ, specifically so buyers can evaluate hand-feel, drape and colour. Tell us the model number shown on the product page and the colours you need.

Do you provide free colour cards or swatches?

Colour cards and sample proposals are available on request. Contact us with the model numbers and target shades; we will confirm what is in stock and what must be lab-dipped.

Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?

Guangzhou Yaqixin Textile Co., Ltd. supplies factory-direct wholesale fabrics from Guangzhou, China. We handle made-to-order production as well as in-stock items — the Supply Type field on each product page tells you which applies.

What is the lead time for made-to-order fabric?

Production is made-to-order for 1,286 of our 2,147 listings, with 381 marked as in-stock items, so the making time depends on the construction, dye lot and quantity. Confirm the current schedule with our sales team before you book your cutting date. Once ready, our published shipping details give a 1–3 day handling window and a 7–25 day international transit window.

Which countries do you ship to?

Our published shipping and return coverage lists 24 countries: US, GB, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, BE, CA, AU, NZ, JP, KR, SG, MY, TH, VN, ID, PH, IN, AE, SA, ZA, BR. If your destination is not listed, ask us for a quote.

What shipping methods do you use?

We quote door-to-door and port-to-port options by order size — express courier for samples, air or sea freight for bulk rolls. Freight is quoted separately from the FOB fabric price shown on the product page.

Can you customise colour, print, width or GSM?

Customisation is handled per product. Send the model number, your target specification and a reference image or physical swatch; we will confirm feasibility, the development charge and the revised MOQ before sampling.

What certifications or test reports can you supply?

Ask us for the specific documents your market requires before you place the order — for example OEKO-TEX, REACH / SVHC, flammability, colour-fastness or composition test reports. We will tell you honestly what is available for the exact lot rather than claiming blanket certification for the whole catalogue.

How do I read the GSM, width and construction on your product pages?

The Key attributes table lists Material, Weight (gsm), Width, Technics, Pattern and Recommended Use for every product. GSM is grams per square metre; a 25 gsm tulle and a 370 gsm denim behave completely differently even at the same width. See our guide on reading fabric specs.

What is the difference between tulle, organza and chiffon?

Tulle is a fine net mesh, organza is a crisp plain-weave sheer, and chiffon is a soft, fluid crepe-like sheer. Our catalogue currently contains 640 tulle, 74 organza and 112 chiffon products; the right choice depends on whether you need structure, volume or drape.

How should I inspect a bulk fabric shipment?

Check roll length and usable width against the spec, compare colour to the approved lab dip under D65 light, look for shade variation between rolls, count visible defects per 100 metres, and confirm the packing list matches the model numbers ordered. Our inspection guide has the full checklist.

Do you accept OEM / ODM orders?

Yes — custom colour, print, embroidery and packaging can be discussed. OEM/ODM work normally carries a higher MOQ than in-stock items because the material is produced to order.

What payment terms do you offer?

Payment terms are agreed per order and confirmed in the proforma invoice. For first orders we will walk you through the available options before any deposit is requested.

What is your return and refund policy?

Our terms and conditions give a 14-day right of withdrawal without giving any reason. We reimburse all payments received, including delivery costs, without undue delay and within 14 days of being notified, using the same payment method, with no fee for the reimbursement. Some items are excluded by law; we will tell you if that applies to your case.

How do I get a formal quotation?

Send the model numbers, required quantity, target colours and destination port. We will reply with FOB unit price, MOQ, available quantity, estimated making time and freight options.

Are the images on the product pages the actual fabric?

Product galleries, videos and Key attributes are synchronised from our Alibaba Seller Center listings. We keep the spec table, gallery and video aligned to the authoritative record so what you see matches what is quoted.

How large is your current catalogue?

We currently publish 2,147 fabrics, mostly polyester and mesh constructions, with strong coverage in tulle (640), lace (444) and sequin (125). The full range is browsable in the wholesale fabric catalog.
