Check the minimum quantity for each product and variant. Ask whether quantities can be mixed across sizes and colours. Samples and lower-volume orders may have different prices. Confirm details with the supplier before paying.
Check the minimum at variant level
A listing may show a starting quantity without explaining how it applies to individual sizes, colours or models. Ask whether variants can be mixed and whether each has its own minimum. Record the answer beside the quantity breakdown before requesting a purchase total.
Review the price attached to the quantity
Ask which unit price applies to your exact order and whether custom packaging, materials or branding change the minimum. Sample terms can differ from bulk terms. A quantity shown on a listing is not a substitute for confirming availability and the supplier’s offer.
Avoid buying unwanted stock to chase a unit price
Compare the full cost and use of the extra goods. Additional units can increase domestic delivery, carton volume and international freight. If the order includes several suppliers, evaluate each minimum separately before planning consolidation.
