Request a Quotation
A useful quotation is built from four facts: the model, the finish, the quantity per model and the destination market. Send those and the reply can be specific - the confirmed MOQ, the carton cube, the production slot and the report status for the models you have chosen, rather than a range that covers everything. This page explains what to send, what comes back and what happens next. If the models are not chosen yet, send the size band, the structure and the channel instead, and we will shortlist from the catalogue.
Send a model shortlist or the size band and structure you need, the quantity per model, the destination market and any finish or carton requirement. We reply within two business days with the specification gaps confirmed, then the quotation built from those facts. Prices are not published on this site.

How it runs
- List the models by name or catalogue link, with a quantity per model rather than a total quantity.
- Name the destination market, because it decides the report status, the label language and the freight route.
- Say the finish and the carton you want: stocked colour or new colour, plain carton or printed, retail box or label only.
- Send the doll height if you are pairing the house with a family, so the floor height can be checked against it.
- We return the specification and the gaps, then the quotation; a sample request can run alongside it.
What makes a quotation useful
- A quantity per model, not an order total. The MOQ applies per model, so a total of 500 pcs across fifteen models does not tell us whether the order is possible.
- The destination market. The report status, the label language and the freight route all follow from it, and a quotation without it is an estimate rather than an answer.
- The finish and the carton, because both move the MOQ and the lead time. A stocked colour in a plain carton is a different order from a new colour in a printed carton.
- The date you need it, so the production slot can be checked before the quotation rather than after.
What we send back
- The specification per model: assembled size, storeys, floor height, doll fit, material and finish, carton data, MOQ and lead time.
- The gaps, listed as gaps. Where the supplier data does not carry a carton or a height, the reply says confirmed per model instead of filling the number in.
- The report status per model and per market, and what would need to be commissioned if a report does not exist.
- The quotation, built from those facts, with the valid-until date, the payment terms and the shipping port. Prices are quoted there and not on this site.
What happens after the quotation
- Sample, one per structure, checked against the doll height and the finish you were quoted.
- Sign-off on the sample, the finish reference and the carton artwork, in writing, before production starts.
- Deposit and production slot confirmed with a completion date and an inspection date.
- Inspection, carton plan and loading plan, then shipment FOB Ningbo or Shanghai against the nominated forwarder.
FAQ
How quickly will I get a reply?
Within two business days for a model list with quantities and a destination market. The specification reply often comes back the same day when the models are already in the catalogue; the quotation follows once the gaps are resolved. A request that names fifteen models with no quantities and no market takes longer, because we have to ask before we can price. The fastest route is a shortlist with a quantity per model and one market named - it is a smaller list than most buyers expect and it produces a usable answer.
Can you quote without a model reference?
Yes, if you send the specification instead: the size band, the structure, the storey count, the channel and the quantity. We shortlist from the 130-model catalogue and send back the models that fit with their data, and if nothing fits we say so rather than proposing the nearest thing. A specification-only request usually takes one extra exchange, because the first reply is a shortlist rather than a quotation. Photographs of a competitor's product are useful as a description of what you want, not as something we will copy.
Are prices published anywhere on this site?
No. This is a trade line and prices are quoted per model, finish, quantity and destination market, because the same model can quote differently for a different market, carton configuration or quantity. The catalogue publishes the facts that let a buyer plan without a price: size, storeys, doll fit, material, finish, carton cube, MOQ and lead time. That is deliberate - a published price in this category would be wrong for most of the buyers reading it, and it would be stale within a season. Quotations are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise.
