Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: For orders up to 5 MT, lead time is typically 2-3 weeks from order confirmation. For larger container loads (10-20 MT), we require 3-4 weeks. Express processing is available for urgent orders.
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk orders?
A: Yes, we provide samples (up to 500g) via courier for quality evaluation. Sample costs and courier charges are borne by the buyer but can be adjusted against the first bulk order.
Q: Can you provide private labeling for retail packaging?
A: Absolutely! We offer private labeling and custom packaging solutions for retail brands. Minimum order quantities apply for custom packaging. Contact our sales team for detailed requirements and pricing.
Q: What ports do you ship from in India?
A: We primarily ship from major Indian ports including Mumbai (JNPT), Cochin (Kerala), Chennai, and Tuticorin. Port selection depends on the destination and shipping route optimization for cost and time efficiency.
