How to build one mixed order of natural pet toys from Vietnam
Testing several natural lines usually means several suppliers, several shipments and several sets of paperwork. A mixed order puts them into one: one supplier, one shipment, one set of documents. Here is how a mixed order works at WINVN INT, from the minimum to the container.
- For importers, shops and Amazon sellers
- Six product lines
- About 5 minutes to read
Step 1. Count the minimum per product, not per order
The minimum is counted per product, not per size and not per order: one product covers all its sizes. That makes it easy to test several lines at once.
| Line | Minimum per product | Can sizes be mixed? |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee wood chews | 50 pcs | Yes, any split across sizes |
| Gorilla coffee wood | 50 pcs | Yes |
| Loofah toys | 50 pcs | Ask us per shape |
| Hemp toys | 50 pcs | Ask us per item |
| Coco coir toys | 50 pcs | Ask us per item |
| Pet beds | 100 pcs | Ask us per model |
For example: 50 coffee wood chews split across four sizes is one product line that meets the minimum. Add 50 hemp balls of one size and 50 loofah toys of one shape, and you are testing three lines in one order.
Step 2. Decide how each SKU is packed
Each SKU can arrive plain, under your brand, or ready for an Amazon fulfilment centre, and you can choose differently for each SKU in the same order. Private label uses the same minimum as plain goods.
Step 3. Match the shipping to the size of the order
A few cartons: by air
Samples and test orders usually fly, often door to door. Usually the quickest option for small loads, but it costs more per piece.
Pallets: shared container (LCL)
Your pallets share a container with other shippers' goods and go by sea. Cheaper than air once the order gets heavier.
Full container: your own (FCL)
A 20 ft or 40 ft container just for your order. Usually the lowest shipping cost per piece for larger orders.
Not sure which fits? Tell us the quantity and destination, and we suggest the route that fits.
Step 4. Choose the delivery terms: FOB, CIF or DAP
| Term | We handle | You handle |
|---|---|---|
| FOB | Export customs in Vietnam, trucking to the port, loading on board. | Ocean freight, insurance, import customs and duties, delivery to your warehouse. |
| CIF | Everything in FOB, plus ocean freight and minimum-cover insurance to your port. | Import customs and duties, and delivery from your port to your warehouse. |
| DAP | Export customs, freight and delivery to the place you name. | Import customs and duties, and unloading at your place. |
For samples and small orders we usually ship by air on DAP terms. More on documents and shipping terms.
Step 5. Start with samples
3 free samples per customer, across the whole sample order. You pay the shipping, which is credited back on a qualifying production order. Samples beyond the first 3, and fully custom samples, are charged.
Plain goods take 8–10 days for 50–200 pcs. Larger quantities and branded packing take longer; for your own label we confirm timing after we see your artwork. See the production time table. Shipping time is extra.
What every shipment comes with
- Commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading (sea) or air waybill (air)
- Certificate of origin, phytosanitary and fumigation certificates when your market requires them
- Coffee wood: SGS heavy-metal test to ASTM F963-23, report on request. Hemp, coco coir and loofah: no lab test yet.
