Payment and shipping terms are where a lot of first-order friction happens, mainly because buyers are comparing quotes without knowing exactly which costs are included. Clarifying terms upfront avoids surprises at invoicing or customs.
Here is how we typically structure payment, shipping, and pricing for B2B pet product orders.
Standard B2B payment terms
A typical structure is a deposit (commonly around 30%) to begin production, with the balance due before or against shipping documents. Exact terms can be discussed based on order size and your buying history with us.
FOB, CIF, and DDP shipping options
FOB pricing covers cost up to loading at the export port, CIF adds freight and insurance to your destination port, and DDP includes duty and delivery to your door - we can quote whichever term matches your import setup and logistics relationships.
Shipping directly into Amazon FBA warehouses
Shipment directly into Amazon FBA warehouses can be discussed for your destination and import arrangement, provided the goods are prepared to FBA packaging and labeling requirements before they leave the factory.
Volume discount tiers for container orders
Pricing typically improves at defined quantity breaks - share your target volume and we will provide a tiered price list so you can see the cost difference between a partial and a full container order.
What is included in the quoted unit price
Quoted unit prices are typically based on the product itself; individual polybagging, custom hang tags, and other packaging add-ons are usually itemized separately so you can see the true landed cost breakdown rather than an all-in estimate.
How raw material cost changes affect pricing
Nylon and zinc alloy prices fluctuate with global commodity markets, which can affect quoted pricing on longer-term contracts. We aim to lock pricing for a confirmed order and will flag in advance if a significant raw material shift affects a future reorder quote.
Consolidated export customs documentation
We can provide consolidated export documentation for ocean freight shipments, helping your customs broker process the shipment efficiently on arrival.
