  • Installation environment (climate, indoor/outdoor)
  • Target quantity and delivery timeline
  • Special requirements (branding, custom colors, certifications)

Step 3: Sample & Design Confirmation

For custom orders, we provide complimentary 3D renderings and technical drawings. You can request physical samples (fees apply, refundable with bulk order). We iterate on design until you are 100% satisfied before production begins.

Step 4: Payment & Production

Standard payment terms: 30% deposit to start production, 70% balance before shipment. We accept T/T bank transfer, PayPal (orders under $10,000), and Letter of Credit (orders over $50,000). Production typically takes 15–45 days depending on complexity.

Step 5: Quality Inspection & Shipping

Before shipment, every product undergoes a 3-step quality inspection: raw material check, in-process inspection, and final assembly test. We send you photos and videos of the completed products and can arrange third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) upon request.
