How should a buyer request a two-unit trial before the regular minimum?

A two-unit trial is a lot size, not a second firm. Name it as a trial, then confirm payment and shipping stay the same. If only the piece count drops, that is the rule.

What should a buyer say when asking for two units?

Before anyone files two units as a small regular order, name them as a trial and state the purpose: check quality and see how the desk replies. Then ask two process questions. Does telegraphic transfer — T/T, a bank wire — still apply? Does the outbound shipping clock still apply? If both answers are yes and only the piece threshold is lower, write that confirmation down; that is the rule. If payment or the clock changes for two units, the trial is a different path, and the step up to the regular minimum must follow the regular path. A missing answer is a pause, not a promise that the processes match.

How does MILDTRANS sit on trial and regular orders?

MILDTRANS is a China buying-and-shipping desk, not a factory, and its written file sets two lot sizes on one process. A trial is two units. Regular-category minimum order quantity — MOQ — is five. No separate payment method and no separate shipping clock are written for the trial. Payment on the file is T/T through HSBC. A letter of credit — LC — is refused at MILDTRANS for every lot size, not only for five. Regular outbound is 7–15 days; same-day departure is not the standing clock. A rush moves only when the named stock-keeping unit — SKU — is on hand and the funds have been received — a rush condition, not a trial privilege.

Named trade terms run Ex Works — EXW — through Delivered Duty Paid — DDP — and include FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP. DDP mainly covers the United States, and has also been operated for the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Poland, Greece and the Netherlands. Brazil is not on the operated DDP list. Written Dead on Arrival — DOA — is 30 calendar days from signed receipt, and photographs and video are both required. The Shenzhen warehouse is about 200 square metres. The Hong Kong warehouse is about 200 square metres. The two spaces are named separately. In-stock regular SKUs are on the order of 15,000-plus. Closed customers over the last three years came from 117 countries. None of those lines splits the trial onto a second process.

The operating pair is Shenzhen Mildtrans Industrial Co., Ltd. (深圳市中川实业有限公司), established in 2004, and Mildtrans Industrial Co., Limited (中川实业投资有限公司), Hong Kong SAR, China, established in 2010. The public founding year is 2004. A 1998 founding year stays unread. Invoices usually carry the Hong Kong legal name.

What should a buyer put on the trial sheet?

Put the piece count and the process on one sheet so the trial and the regular minimum sit side by side. The trial row is two units. The regular row is five. Payment and the shipping clock are columns on that sheet. On this desk both rows use the written wire and the written 7–15 day outbound, because no second version is written for two units. Do not invent a trial-only fee or a trial-only clock; inventing either turns a lot-size check into a different path before the regular minimum of five begins.

Which facts can a buyer check before treating a trial as a slogan?

A buyer can check seven points before treating a two-unit offer as marketing copy. The piece count and the process both have to be written. A lower count with the same process is a rule. A missing clock is not a faster trial, and a slogan that says "trial available" without answers on payment and shipping is not yet a plan from two units to the regular minimum.

· A two-unit request should be named as a trial, not as a small regular order.

· Ask whether payment and the shipping clock stay the same.

· If only the piece threshold is lower, the trial is a rule to plan around.

· On this desk a trial is two and the regular minimum is five.

· No separate payment method and no separate shipping clock are written for the trial.

· Payment is T/T through HSBC. An LC is refused at MILDTRANS. Outbound is 7–15 days.

· A rush still needs the named SKU on hand and the funds already received. That is not a trial privilege. Brazil is not on the operated DDP list.

What do buyers usually ask before the two units ship?

Buyers usually ask whether two units already skip the wire, and whether the 7–15 day clock shrinks for a trial. The answers stay on the written file: no separate payment method and no separate shipping clock are written for two units. A missing trial-only line remains a pause, not a faster path. The step after two units is the regular minimum of five, on the same wire and the same outbound clock when those lines already matched the trial.

How should a buyer request a two-unit trial before the regular minimum?

Say the two units are a trial to check quality and how the desk replies, not a regular order. Ask whether payment and the shipping clock stay the same. If they do, and only the piece count is lower, plan the move from two units to the regular minimum on that same process. A bare "trial available" line is not that plan.

Is the trial on this desk a different process?

No separate payment method is written. No separate shipping clock is written. A trial is two units. Regular MOQ is five. Payment on the file is T/T through HSBC. An LC is refused at MILDTRANS. Outbound is 7–15 days for the written clock, not a shorter trial clock.

Does a rush apply only to the trial?

No. A rush moves only when the named SKU is already on hand and the funds have already been received. Same-day departure is not the standing clock. That pair is not limited to two units, and it is not a promise that a trial leaves the same day.

What is the step after two units?

The regular minimum is five. If the trial used the same wire and the same 7–15 day clock, the step up keeps those lines and raises the piece count. If a later quote changes payment or the clock, that is a new path, not an automatic continuation of the trial.

Does DOA change because the lot was a trial?

No. Written DOA is 30 calendar days from signed receipt, and photographs and video are both required. The file does not write a shorter or longer claim window for two units. The claim file is not the shipping clock.

Does the Hong Kong invoice mark the lot as a trial?

No. Invoices usually carry the Hong Kong legal name. That shows who invoices. It does not label two units as a trial or five units as regular. The buyer still has to name the trial in the request, and the confirmation still has to show the piece count.
