What does a 30% deposit actually cover on a teamwear order?
On a larger order we work on 30% deposit, balance against the tracking number. The deposit is what starts the line: it covers the materials and the printing setup for your specific designs, which is why it is taken before production rather than after it.
The balance is not due when the goods leave the factory floor. It falls due when there is a tracking number in your hands, so the money and the shipment move at roughly the same time instead of weeks apart.
Which orders run on 30% deposit terms?
Larger orders, normally. A 10-piece order at the MOQ does not need a split payment - most buyers settle that in one transfer, because a deposit and a balance on a small amount is two bank movements for the same money.
Where the split earns its place is volume: a 100-piece order, or an order that mixes several teams and several size runs, where the value is high enough that neither side wants to carry the whole risk alone. That is the order this shape was built for.
What should you confirm before sending a deposit?
A deposit should never be the first thing that happens. The sequence is: you send the team list, quantities and size split on WhatsApp to +86 181 7757 2115, and a Proforma Invoice comes back with each line priced, print add-ons listed separately, freight shown on its own line, and the total.
- Check the unit price per line against the quantity tier - short-sleeve runs $10 / $9 / $8 at 10-49, 50-99 and 100+ pieces, long versions $16 / $15 / $14.
- Check that the tier was set by the total volume on the order, not line by line.
- Check that name and number printing is shown separately at +$2 per piece rather than folded into the garment price.
- Check the sizes on the XS-4XL range and the split across them.
- Check the payment details and the beneficiary name written on the PI itself.
PI quotes hold for 14 days. If you are still deciding after that, ask for a refreshed PI rather than paying against an expired one.
How does the balance work once production is finished?
Production runs about 7-10 days for blank stock and 10-15 days where custom printing is involved. When the order is packed we send a photo of it. You settle the balance, it ships DHL door-to-door, and the tracking number follows within 24 hours of pickup.
That order of events is the point: the balance is tied to a document you can check, not to a promise that shipment is imminent.
What other payment methods sit alongside the deposit shape?
T/T bank transfer, PayPal, Western Union, and USDT on TRC20 or ERC20. The deposit structure is the same whichever rail you use - the difference is which one suits your account, and that is worth saying before the PI is issued rather than after.
Message +86 181 7757 2115 with your team list and volumes, and ask for the invoice to be written for the method you actually intend to pay with.
