What is your delivery time and which port do you ship from?

Our standard MOQ is 1 ton per item, which allows competitive factory-direct pricing while keeping production efficient. When a new market or product line is being tested, a trial order can be discussed to help get started.

Free samples are provided so the material, finish and workmanship can be examined before any bulk decision. The courier fee is paid by the buyer and can later be deducted from the order value. Samples are normally arranged within 3–5 working days after confirmation. Technical consultation is offered together with the samples as part of the same full-link support that covers enquiry through production, inspection and after-sales.

Our production lead time at Dabao Hardware starts from the date we receive your deposit and is structured by order volume:

5–25 tons takes 15 working days;

20–75 tons takes 20 working days;

75–270 tons takes 30 working days.

We keep this schedule strictly. Our factory arranges production slots in advance to avoid delays during peak seasons. If you have an urgent project, inform us at the enquiry stage and we will do our best to prioritize your order. A promised delivery date is a commitment we honor.

At Dabao Hardware, payment security is as important as product quality for overseas buyers. We offer flexible yet secure payment structures suited to different trade terms.

Under FOB terms, a 30% deposit is required in advance to start production, with the balance paid before loading so you remain in control of the goods.

Under CNF or CIF terms, the balance can be settled against a copy of the Bill of Lading or by irrevocable sight L/C, protecting both parties during shipment.

For long-term cooperative customers who have built trust through multiple orders, we accept a reduced 20% deposit. We also support T/T and other methods for sample or small orders. Please share your preferred terms, and we will arrange the safest solution for both sides.
