Wholesale American Mah Jongg MOQ & Pricing — How Buyers Should Quote
How to structure wholesale American Mah Jongg price RFQs — quantity bands, 1-set vs bulk paths, sample policy, packaging lines, and what actually moves unit cost.
Sourcing GuideThis guide is about how to ask for and read price — quantity bands, sample fees, and what moves unit cost. It is not a supplier scorecard (see how to choose a supplier) and not the full production timeline (see OEM process).
Wholesale Mah Jongg pricing is not a single number. Unit cost moves with quantity, customization depth, multi-layer complexity, packaging, and logistics. Structure RFQs so factories quote apples-to-apples — and avoid chasing unrealistic “lowest MOQ at lowest price” claims.
Two Paths That Should Not Be Confused
| Path | Typical buyer | What you are paying for |
|---|---|---|
| Custom from 1 set | Gift, pilot, club sample, brand test | Setup attention + one full set craftsmanship |
| Wholesale tiers | Retail, Amazon, distributors | Lower unit cost at volume with locked artwork |
Hi Mah Jongg supports both: start at one custom set when needed, then move into volume tiers once the design is approved.
Example Quantity Bands to Request
Ask every supplier for the same bands so quotes compare cleanly:
- 1 set (custom / sample pilot)
- Under 100 sets
- 100–300 sets
- 300–1,000 sets
- 1,000+ sets
If a supplier only quotes “1000 pcs MOQ” without a pilot path, ask how first-article approval works.
What Moves Unit Price
- Ready catalog series vs full custom faces
- Multi-layer side count and color fills
- Private label packaging / gift boxes
- Accessory kit (racks, pushers, dice, bags)
- Inspection level and packing standard
- Incoterms (EXW / FOB) and destination
Sample Policy Buyers Should Clarify
| Question | Why ask |
|---|---|
| Is sample paid? | Paid samples usually get real production attention |
| Credited to first PO? | Common for serious wholesale programs |
| Same materials as bulk? | Avoid “pretty sample, cheaper bulk” switches |
| Lead time separate from bulk? | Protects launch calendars |
RFQ Template (Copy / Paste)
Product: American Mah Jongg full set (not Chinese recreational only)
Style: [catalog series / custom art]
Quantity bands: 1 / under 100 / 100–300 / 300–1000 / 1000+
Multi-layer acrylic: yes/no + side colors
Packaging: export carton / gift box / private label
Ship-to: [country]
Incoterms preference: FOB or other
Need: sample policy + production days after approvalHow to Read a Quote
A usable quote states:
- Unit price per quantity band
- What is included in a “set”
- Sample cost and timeline
- Bulk production window after approval
- Packaging SKU assumptions
- Payment terms (e.g. deposit / balance)
Missing set definition is the #1 cause of “cheap” quotes that exclude racks or use thinner materials.
