Wooden Dollhouses for Wholesale Buyers
This is a trade-only line, sold to importers, distributors, retailers, nurseries, marketplace sellers and gift buyers rather than to the public. A wholesale order in this category is built from four choices - the structure, the size band, the packing format and the add-on line - and then confirmed against MOQ, carton cube and lead time for each model. The page below explains how that conversation runs, what the catalogue publishes and what it deliberately does not, so a buyer can decide whether the range fits the channel before asking for a quotation.
Wholesale buying works from a model list rather than from a price list: send the models, the destination market and the quantity per model, and we return the confirmed size, packing, MOQ, lead time and report status for those models, then build the quotation from those facts. Prices are not published on this site.

How it runs
- Send a model shortlist from the catalogue, or the size band and structure you need if the models are not chosen yet.
- We return the specification gaps for those models: assembled size, floor height, doll fit, storeys, material, carton data, MOQ and report status.
- Order one sample per structure you intend to stock and check the joinery, the finish and the doll fit in the hand.
- Sign off the sample, the finish reference and the carton artwork, then place the order with the deposit.
- Production runs 25-45 days for most models; we inspect before packing and send the loading plan with the carton list.
- Goods ship FOB Ningbo or Shanghai against the forwarder you or we nominate, with the document pack and the spare-parts allowance.
What a wholesale order in this category has to decide
- The structure: open-sided, open-fronted or closed, and one, two or three storeys. This choice decides the carton and the assembly time before it decides anything else.
- The size band: under 40 cm, 40-80 cm or 80 cm and above. Freight, shelf space and doll fit all follow the band, and the band is the fastest way to cut a catalogue of 130 models down to a shortlist.
- The packing format: flat-pack in one carton, or assembled for a display unit. Assembled costs two to three times the cube and is worth it only where nobody on site will do joinery.
- The add-on line: a doll family and one room piece per house, which is the difference between a single sale and a reorder.
What the catalogue publishes, and what it does not
- It publishes assembled size, storeys, material and finish, doll fit, carton data where the supplier recorded it, MOQ and lead time per model.
- It marks missing data as confirmed per model instead of filling the gap with a plausible number. 49 of the 130 models have no assembled height on record and are not placed in a size band for that reason.
- It does not publish prices. A quotation is built from the model, the finish, the quantity and the destination market, and the same model can quote differently for a different carton configuration.
- It makes no compliance claim for any market. Report status is stated per model where a report exists, and the import documents remain the buyer's responsibility.
Where the risk sits in this category
- Volume, not weight. A container of dollhouses fills by cubic metre long before it reaches a weight limit, so a carton that is 20 per cent bigger costs more than a small difference in unit cost.
- Loose parts. Figures, chairs, chimneys and hinges travel in a bag; the parts count per carton and a spares allowance are the cheapest insurance in the order.
- Age grading at the strictest component. A house labelled 3+ with a loose furniture set that would be 5+ under its own parts assessment is a labelling problem waiting for a return.
- Colour continuity between runs. A second house ordered months later can be a shade off the first; a finish reference and a batch reference on the first order prevent that.
The first order shape that works
- Eight to fifteen models rather than one hero model, because the category sells as a range on a shelf and a single style leaves the container half empty.
- Two or three structures with the rest of the mix in families and room pieces, which keeps the carton plan simple and the shelf story coherent.
- One or two models at a low MOQ to test the market before committing the full quantity, which 52 models in this catalogue make possible.
- A written spares allowance agreed with the order, packed with the first shipment rather than ordered after the first claim.
FAQ
Is there a minimum order value?
There is no site-wide order value: the constraint is the MOQ per model, which ranges from 1 pcs to 1,000 pcs across the catalogue. A first order of three models at their model minimum is a normal enquiry, and 52 of the 130 published models quote at 10 pcs or fewer. What changes with a small order is the freight: a part-container or a consolidated LCL shipment costs proportionally more per unit than a full 40HQ, so the shape of the order matters as much as the unit quantity. We quote the goods and the freight separately so the difference is visible.
Can you quote from a competitor's specification?
We can, if you send the specification rather than the brand name: assembled height, storeys, floor height, doll fit, material, carton size and the quantity you need. The catalogue may already hold a model that matches, and if it does not, the workshops we work with can quote a development against your specification. What we will not do is copy a branded product's design or sell a model as another brand's product. Where a buyer wants a comparison against a named brand, we compare on published specification only.
How long does a quotation take?
A quotation follows a model list and a destination market, and normally comes back within two business days. A shortlist that mixes four size bands and no quantities takes longer, because we have to ask which band matters before pricing three of them. The quickest route is to send a catalogue shortlist with the quantity per model and the market; if the models are already shortlisted, the specification reply usually comes back the same day and the quotation the next.
Do you supply samples before an order?
Yes, and we recommend one sample per structure rather than one sample for the whole shortlist. A sample shows the joinery, the floor height, the doll fit and the finish in a way a photograph does not, and the two things buyers most often get wrong from a photograph are the scale and the paint sheen. Samples are quoted per model and the cost is discussed with the order; the sampling route and typical timing are set out on the samples page.
