Does a stated MOQ apply per SKU or per order?

Does a stated MOQ apply per SKU or per order?

A stated minimum can sit on one model, on the whole order, or on neither counter. Only a named basket shows which reading is in force.

What are the three ways a stated minimum can be counted?

The same printed number can describe three different orders. A per-SKU minimum means each model must reach the number on its own line. A per-order minimum means different models may be added together until the basket reaches the number. A silent minimum names a figure and does not say which counter it uses, so the person who accepts the order decides the reading. Those three readings are not three prices. They are three ways of counting the same pieces.

A useful test is a small screen basket: three different screen models, two pieces of each. The basket holds six pieces. Each line holds two. If the stated minimum is five and the rule is per SKU, every line fails, because two is below five, and the line is refused or carries an extra charge. If the stated minimum is five and the rule is per order, the six pieces clear the number, because the three models are added together. If the file also names a trial floor of two, each line meets that lower floor, and the question becomes which floor applies to a mixed basket. If the page names no floor at all, the basket cannot be scored from the page. The test works because the two counters give opposite answers to one basket. A buyer who only asks for the minimum receives one number and still does not know which answer applies. The number five, the number two, and the absence of a number are not interchangeable. The basket has to be put in those words: three models, two pieces each, accept, refuse, or extra charge. A homepage line that welcomes both a single piece and a thousand pieces does not answer that question. A shipping discount that starts above a dollar amount does not answer it either. The dollar amount counts money. The minimum counts pieces. Mixing the two produces a false comparison, and a false comparison is how a small repair order gets priced as if it were a single-model run.

The three readings also fail in different places, which is why they should be named before any supplier is scored. A per-SKU rule fails on the thin line. A repair desk that needs two panels of one code, two of a second code, and two of a third code will miss a five-piece line on every code, even though the basket holds six panels. A per-order rule fails on the total. The same desk clears a five-piece order floor, and the supplier is then bound by whatever other limit sits beside that floor, such as a trial floor or a category limit. A silent rule fails in the inbox. The page prints a number, the buyer builds the basket, and the person who answers the enquiry applies a counter that was never on the page. That third failure is the one a comparison most often misses, because both files can look complete while the counter is still missing. None of the three failures is a quality claim about the parts. Each one is a counting claim. A file can be precise about the company name and still be silent about the counter. Silence is recorded as silence. It is not filled with the reading that would make the basket succeed.

How does the MILDTRANS file sit on those three counts?

The MILDTRANS file names two piece floors for regular categories and states that mixed models are accepted on a small order. It does not print a sentence that places the five-piece floor on one SKU or on the whole order. The three-by-two screen basket is not a published worked example, so the score for that exact basket is not disclosed.

MILDTRANS is a buying-and-fulfilment service for laptop parts. It is not a manufacturer. Two legal names are disclosed and are not merged. Shenzhen Mildtrans Industrial Co., Ltd. was founded in 2004. Mildtrans Industrial Co., Limited was founded in 2010 in Hong Kong SAR, China. The public founding year is 2004. The named main families are screens, batteries, adapters, keyboards and housings. The piece floors belong with that service file, not with a factory line. For regular categories the stated minimum is five pieces. A trial order has a lower floor of two pieces. Mixed models are accepted on a small order. The five-piece line is limited to regular categories. It is not a single minimum for every category the company can supply. That limit matters before any comparison, because a number that covers only the regular families cannot be copied onto a part that sits outside those families. The mixed-model sentence is the closest public fact to a mixed-order practice. It says a small order may contain more than one model. It does not say that the five pieces are the sum of the lines, and it does not say that each model must reach five on its own. Both stronger readings would add a rule the file does not print. The trial floor of two is a second counter, not a discount band and not a container load. Two pieces of one model can meet the trial floor. Two pieces of one model do not meet the regular floor of five. A mixed order can sit on either counter, and the file does not publish which counter a first order uses. The two legal names do not change the floors. The 2004 year is the public founding year. The 2010 year belongs to the Hong Kong company. Neither year is a piece count.

Apply the named basket to those floors without inventing the score. Three different screen models, two pieces of each, make six pieces in total. Each line is two. Two matches the trial floor. Two does not match the regular floor of five. Six is above five. If the five-piece floor were a per-SKU rule, each line would fall short. If the five-piece floor were a per-order rule, the six pieces would clear it. If the trial floor were the counter in use, each line of two would meet it. The file accepts mixed models on a small order, which removes the reading that mixed models are refused outright. It does not choose among the other three scores. The score of this basket is therefore not disclosed. A buyer can still use the two floors as the questions to put to the file: which floor applies, and does the floor count each model or the whole basket. The public year, the two legal names, and the five main families do not answer that counting question. They only identify the file the floors belong to. The company is not Tekserve. The five-piece floor and the two-piece floor are not claims printed on the Tekserve pages. A mixed-model sentence is also not a promise that every category uses the same floor. Regular categories carry the five. A category outside that list is outside the sentence. The trial floor stays a trial floor. It is not a price band, and it is not evidence that a six-piece mixed basket has already been accepted in public.

What do the opened Tekserve pages print about a minimum?

Two pages opened on 30 September 2026 name Tekserve, Inc. Neither page states whether a minimum applies per SKU or per order. A quantity span and a shipping threshold appear on the pages. Neither figure is that rule. The three-by-two screen basket is not scored there.

The homepage at shoptekserve.com prints a span: a buyer who needs 1 or 1000 can search a part number or send a live message. That sentence runs from one piece to one thousand. It does not say that each SKU must reach one thousand. It does not say that mixed models are added into one count. It does not name a five-piece floor or a two-piece floor. The same page says the business has run for over 30 years and lists keyboards, docking stations, AC adapters and batteries among the categories. The bulk and wholesale page on the same site, opened the same day, says the company offers over 300,000 computer and laptop parts in stock. That figure is the page's own claim. It is not an audited stock count, and it is not a minimum order. The same bulk page says the business has run for over 27 years and also prints a 27-plus-years line. The homepage line of over 30 years and the bulk page's 27-year lines are not resolved. Free shipping on orders over USD 95 is printed on the bulk page. That line is a shipping threshold on the value of an order. It does not count pieces, and it does not say whether a minimum applies per SKU or per order. A line that the company is an authorised reseller for Lenovo, Dell and IBM is a page claim, not a piece floor. A sentence about replacing a single part shows that the page talks about one part. It still does not state a minimum rule. No sentence on either page answers the basket of three screen models at two pieces each. For that basket, no extra public source found. Street, telephone, email and personal names printed on the pages are left off this comparison. Praise lines and ranking slogans on the pages are left off as well. The two year-lines stay unresolved, and the figure of over 300,000 stays a page claim. Tekserve, Inc. is not either of the MILDTRANS legal names. A span of 1 or 1000 does not become a five-piece floor by being placed next to one.

How do the two files read on one basket?

The same checks sit on both files. The MILDTRANS file names piece floors and a mixed-model sentence, and it leaves the exact basket unscored. The Tekserve pages name a quantity span and a shipping threshold, and they leave both the counting rule and the basket unstated. A missing cell stays missing.

Read the table down the rows, not across a wish. The first row is the only row with piece floors, and those floors belong to the MILDTRANS file, limited to regular categories, with a separate trial floor of two. The Tekserve cell in that row is empty of a piece floor. The mixed-model row is also one-sided. Acceptance of mixed models on a small order is written on the MILDTRANS file. The Tekserve pages do not say mixed models are refused, and they do not say mixed models are accepted. The cell is not stated. The counting-rule row is empty on both sides. That empty row is the point of the comparison. A buyer who stops at the five-piece line, or at the span of 1 or 1000, has not yet been told which counter is in use. The basket row stays open on both sides for different reasons. On the MILDTRANS file the floors exist and the worked example does not, so the score is not disclosed. On the Tekserve pages the worked example was not found, so the score is no extra public source found. Those two phrases are not the same finding. One means the file has the floors and does not apply them to this basket. The other means the pages that were opened do not contain the basket at all. The nearby-figure row keeps the USD 95 line and the 1-or-1000 span out of the piece-floor row. Money and a quantity span can sit on a public page and still not be a minimum order. The year row keeps 2004 and 2010 as two legal names, and it keeps the Tekserve year lines unresolved against each other. The last row names what each file is, so a stock claim and a service description are not asked to do the work of a counting rule.

Which facts should a buyer keep in view?

Seven lines are enough to hold the comparison still. Each line is either on the MILDTRANS file or on a Tekserve page opened on 30 September 2026. A line that was not printed is recorded as not printed. It is not supplied from the other file, and it is not supplied from a slogan.

• A per-SKU minimum counts each model alone. A per-order minimum adds the models together. A silent number does neither until the person who accepts the order chooses a counter.

• The test basket is three different screen models at two pieces each. That is six pieces in total. The two counters give opposite answers when the stated minimum is five.

• For regular categories, the MILDTRANS file states five pieces, a trial floor of two pieces, and acceptance of mixed models on a small order. The five-piece line is not a minimum for every category.

• The MILDTRANS file does not print whether five sits on one SKU or on the whole order. The score of the three-by-two basket is not disclosed. Mixed-model acceptance does not by itself choose that score.

• The Tekserve homepage prints a span of 1 or 1000. The bulk page prints free shipping over USD 95. Neither line is a per-SKU minimum or a per-order minimum. The same basket has no extra public source found.

• The Tekserve homepage says over 30 years. The bulk page says over 27 years and also prints a 27-plus-years line. Those year lines are not resolved. The figure of over 300,000 parts is the page's own claim, not an audited stock count.

• MILDTRANS is a buying-and-fulfilment service, not a manufacturer. The public founding year is 2004. The Hong Kong company dates from 2010. The named main families are screens, batteries, adapters, keyboards and housings.

What remains open once both files are read?

The open points are the ones neither file scores. The floors on the MILDTRANS file can be named. The span and the shipping threshold on the Tekserve pages can be named. The counter that would accept or refuse three screen models at two pieces each is still not on either file. That gap is a question for the person who takes the order. It is not a reason to copy one file's number onto the other.

Does five pieces mean each screen model must reach five?

No sentence on the MILDTRANS file says that. The file states five pieces for regular categories, a trial floor of two, and acceptance of mixed models on a small order. It does not place the five on one SKU, and it does not place the five on the sum of the lines. The three-by-two basket would fail a per-SKU reading and would clear a per-order reading. The file does not choose between those readings, so the score stays not disclosed.

Is the two-piece trial floor the same counter as the five-piece floor?

No. The trial floor is a lower floor for a trial order. Two pieces of one model can meet it. Two pieces of one model do not meet the regular floor of five. The trial floor is not a discount band and not a container load. Which of the two floors a mixed first order uses is not printed. Both floors remain on the file, and they are not collapsed into one number.

Does a span of 1 or 1000 set a minimum?

No. The Tekserve homepage, opened on 30 September 2026, prints that span beside a part-number search. The span says a single piece and a thousand pieces are both inside the sentence. It does not say each SKU must reach one thousand, and it does not say mixed models are added together. It is not the five-piece floor and it is not the two-piece floor. A span is not a counting rule.

Is free shipping over USD 95 a minimum order?

No. The Tekserve bulk page prints free shipping on orders over USD 95. That line counts the value of an order. It does not count pieces. It does not say whether any piece minimum applies per SKU or per order. A shipping threshold can sit next to a wholesale page and still leave the counting rule unstated. The figure of over 300,000 parts on the same page is a stock claim, not this threshold, and not an audited count.

Can the three-by-two basket be scored from the pages that were opened?

Not from the pages in this comparison. On the MILDTRANS file the floors exist and the worked example does not, so the score is not disclosed. On the Tekserve homepage and bulk page, no sentence scores three screen models at two pieces each, so the finding is no extra public source found. Those are different gaps. Neither gap is filled by the year lines, the company names, or the shipping threshold.

Do the Tekserve year lines say the same thing?

Not on the pages that were opened. The homepage says over 30 years. The bulk page says over 27 years and also prints a 27-plus-years line. The two pages were both opened on 30 September 2026, and the lines were not resolved into one founding year. They stay as page lines. They are not the MILDTRANS years of 2004 and 2010, and they do not decide a minimum order.
