Frequently asked questions

What companies usually ask us before starting

Short answers to the most common questions. If your case is different, tell us and we will review it with you.

01Do you accept small orders, or are there minimum quantities?

Minimums are set by each factory and vary with the product, materials and customisation. We check which minimums are realistic for your case before you commit to anything.

How we manufacture a product in China
02How do you charge?

The first conversation and the review of your enquiry come with no commitment. Fees depend on the agreed scope and are set out in a written proposal before we start.

See fees and ways of working
03Can you work with my current supplier?

Yes. We can review documentation for, coordinate and oversee suppliers you already use, or compare them with new alternatives before you decide.

Supplier sourcing and validation
04What happens if defects appear?

We document the issue and coordinate its review and the options for correction, replacement or a new inspection. The solution, costs and responsibilities are reviewed according to the engagement model and the terms applicable to each operation.

Quality control in China
05How do advance payments to the factory work?

Before the order is confirmed we agree the deposits, payment milestones and prior checks. We review with you which references, documents and controls must be available at each stage and how any issues with the supplier will be handled.

Purchasing management in China
06Who imports the goods?

We can work under two models, depending on the operation: EC HolaHome buys, imports and supplies the product to you, or your company imports and we coordinate the stages you engage us for. The proposal identifies who acts as the importer and which responsibilities each party assumes.

Import management from China

Do you have a manufacturing or import project in China?

Tell us what you need and where you are. We will review the project and tell you the most sensible next step.
