Frequently Asked Questions

Transparency is our policy.

What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs)? +

We offer incredibly low MOQs to support growing businesses. Quick Custom Hats (US Stock) start at just 12 pieces. For Full Custom OEM (Factory Direct), our minimum is only 100 pieces. This allows you to launch private label products with significantly lower risk than traditional factories requiring 500+.

Do you handle shipping and customs? +

Yes. For Full Custom orders, we offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) pricing. This means we handle all customs clearance, tariffs, and international freight. You pay one final price, and the goods are delivered directly to your door in the US. No hidden fees.

Can I see a sample before production? +

Absolutely. We never run bulk production without your approval. For Full Custom OEM orders, we manufacture a physical pre-production sample for you to review (photos or physical shipment) to ensure the fit, fabric, and logo are perfect before we cut the bulk fabric.

What decoration methods do you offer? +

We offer a full range of premium decoration: 3D Puff Embroidery, Flat Embroidery, Woven Patches, Leather Patches (Genuine/Faux), PVC/Rubber Patches, Screen Print, and Sublimation. We can also do custom interior taping and woven labels for private branding.

How do payments work? +

Because we are a US entity (SN international LLC), you make payments domestically via ACH, Check, or Wire Transfer to our US bank account. You don't need to worry about risky international wire transfers to unknown accounts in China.
