How it works
From the mop you use today to a refill you can reorder by reference.
Each step has one owner and one output. Times are typical and depend on the manufacturer’s schedule; every quote states its own.
- 01Day 1–2
Send your current spec or a sample
Dimensions, weight, attachment type and a few photos of the mop you use today. A physical sample is better still.
- You
- Send dimensions, weight, photos — or post a sample to Ningbo.
- Quaymere
- Read the spec back to you in writing so nothing is assumed.
- Output
- A written spec summary
- 02About 1 week
Compare manufacturing options
We brief more than one manufacturer against the same spec, so quotes can be compared line by line rather than on price alone.
- You
- Nothing.
- Quaymere
- Brief two or more Zhejiang manufacturers on the same spec and visit where it matters.
- Output
- A like-for-like quote comparison
- 03About 1–2 weeks
Record the sample
Each sample is measured and photographed: size, dry weight, socket or backing, stitching, colour. You receive the record with the sample.
- You
- Approve the sample cost and courier.
- Quaymere
- Measure, weigh and photograph each sample before it is sent.
- Output
- Samples with their records
- 04Your timing
You run the compatibility test
You fit the sample to your own frames and handles and wash it the way your customers do. Your result is the one that counts.
- You
- Fit and wash the samples on your own equipment.
- Quaymere
- Answer questions; adjust the spec with the manufacturer if needed.
- Output
- An approved sample, sealed and kept in Ningbo
- 05Production often 25–40 days
Trial order, inspected before shipping
Production is checked against the approved sample before it leaves China, with photos and a measurement log for the lot.
- You
- Confirm the pro-forma invoice and pay the deposit.
- Quaymere
- Follow production and check the lot against the approved sample before it ships.
- Output
- Lot inspection log and photos
- 06Ongoing
Reorder from the record
The approved sample, spec sheet and inspection log stay on file, so a reorder is made to the same standard as the first lot.
- You
- Reorder by reference.
- Quaymere
- Re-issue the same spec and the same checks.
- Output
- The same product, documented
Quotes
Quoted per spec and quantity, in USD or AUD. Each quote names its Incoterm — FOB Ningbo, or delivered to your port (CFR/CIF) — so you can compare it with your landed cost.
Payment
Typically a deposit to start production and the balance before shipping documents are released. The exact terms are on each pro-forma invoice.
Shipping
Sea freight from Ningbo-Zhoushan, LCL for trial lots, through your forwarder or one we book. Mixed products can share a shipment.
