Frequently Asked Questions — Everything You Need to Know Before Working With Kingsons

We’ve answered the questions our clients ask most often — from MOQ and sampling to quality control, payment terms, and customization depth. If you don’t find your answer here, our team responds to all direct inquiries within 1 business day.

Sampling & Catalogs

Can I get samples and a product catalog?

Product catalog: We provide a full product catalog covering our six product categories with material options, OEM/ODM capability overview, and key specifications. Contact us to request a digital copy.

Samples: We provide pre-production samples for quality verification and design approval before any bulk order is confirmed.

Do you provide samples? Is the sample fee refundable?

Yes. For first-time partners, a sample fee and shipping fee applies — both are fully refunded when you confirm a bulk order. The sample cost is credited against your first production order.

Standard sampling timeline: 7-10 working days from confirmed brief. Tech-integrated products require 10-14 working days.

What information should I provide to get an accurate sample?

Useful information includes: product type and intended use, target dimensions, material preference (Pantone reference if available), hardware specifications, logo placement, key functional features, and reference images or sketches. You do not need all of this finalized before contacting us.

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)

What is the minimum order quantity?

Our standard MOQ is 500 pieces per style/color. MOQ varies depending on product type, material, and customization complexity.

For trial orders and first-time brand launches, we can accept a reduced MOQ of 200-300 pieces per style/color. A corresponding price adjustment applies.

Is there a minimum order for sampling before a bulk order?

No — samples can be ordered without a committed bulk order quantity. The sample fee applies for first-time orders, but there is no obligation to confirm a bulk order before requesting samples.

Lead Times

What are the lead times for sampling and mass production?

Our standard production timelines:

Total from confirmed brief to delivery: approximately 45-65 working days under standard conditions. Tech-integrated products add 3-7 working days to sampling.

Do production lead times change for large orders?

For large-volume orders (20,000 units or above), we recommend discussing the order well in advance. Our monthly production capacity is 300,000 units, which supports most large order volumes within standard lead times.
