Standard terms: 30-50 percent deposit, balance before shipping. Wire transfer (T/T) is normal. For first orders, USE Alibaba Trade Assurance - it holds the money until you confirm. Avoid 100 percent upfront. Western Union and crypto are red flags.

Standard lead time: 3-6 weeks after sample approval. 1-2 weeks for sampling, 2-4 weeks for production. Add 1-2 weeks for shipping. If you need 300 rings by October, lock the order by August. Chinese New Year and golden week add 2 weeks.

Sample fees vary wildly: 50-300 dollars per design. CAD design: 30-80. Physical sample casting: 50-150. Shipping: 20-50. Many factories refund the sample fee when you place a bulk order. Get this in writing before paying.
