Order Procedures after confirmation of Final Price
• Primary Stage - Product sampling is done with the same quality fabrics and yarns for style approvals. In the case where fabrics and yarns are unusual, they will be provided in the same quality but in swatch form, or we will make the sample available in near quality fabrics or yarns for style approval ONLY. The samples are free of charge but buyers are to pay associated courier costs. In the case where product samples are needed in larger quantities, this will take 15 working days and costs will be estimated subject to the nature of the sample materials.• A purchase/order sheet and L/C are required for order processing.
• Once the style is approved, the colour/designs details are required for LAB-DIPS and approval requests are then sent to the customer. Colour/designs and LAB-DIPS, along with quality cuttings, are to be sent via pre-paid freight for approval prior to bulk materials production.
