3) How do tariffs, fees, and taxes affect costs?

We make global ordering stress-free with DDP Shipping (Delivered Duties Paid). 🌍

• ✔️ All import taxes, duties & tariffs prepaid
• ✔️ No surprise customs bills or hidden charges
• ✔️ No paperwork — your order arrives at your door, hassle-free

💸 Example: In some countries, a $100 order could face up to $135 in surprise fees. With DDP, you pay just 5–10% upfront, and we handle the rest.

4) Do you accept 50% deposits?

✅ Yes — available for all orders!

• 50% deposit to begin production
• 50% balance after photo proof, before shipping

This gives you peace of mind: you’ll see exactly what’s being sent before final payment.

5) What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Most products have no MOQ — because we believe great ideas shouldn’t be limited by big order requirements.

• ✅ Many small goods have no MOQ at all
• 🔢 Some products start as low as 1–25 units
• 🧵 Apparel, packaging & stationery often allow low runs

💡 Tip: The bigger the order, the lower the cost per unit — and ordering multiple product types means you only pay shipping once.

6) Can I see samples before ordering?

Absolutely! 😄 You can order a sample of your design first.

🛠️ Upload your design and select “1 unit” (or more). Our team will prepare a custom sample quote before full production.

7) What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

We stand behind our products. If your order arrives damaged or with quality concerns, email us at hi@pinlord.com and we’ll provide a tailored solution.
