FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for B2B buyers planning samples, bulk production, quality control, payment, and shipment with Forthright.
Ordering Process
How inquiries, quotations, samples, and bulk orders usually move forward.
What information should I send before requesting a quotation?
Send your product category, target quantity, fabric or performance requirements, size range, artwork or tech pack if available, and expected delivery timeline. If you do not have a complete tech pack, a reference photo and clear notes are enough to begin a first review.
Can Forthright help if my design is still at concept stage?
Yes. Forthright can review sketches, reference samples, or buyer notes and help turn them into a sampling brief. For ODM projects, the team can suggest construction, fabric, and finishing options based on the target use and budget.
Lead Time & Capacity
Timing, production planning, MOQ, and capacity questions for procurement teams.
How long does sample development usually take?
Typical physical sample development takes about 7-10 days after requirements, materials, and artwork are clear. More complex styles, special trims, custom fabrics, or new pattern development may require additional time.
What is the usual bulk production lead time?
Standard bulk production is usually planned around 30-45 days after sample approval, order confirmation, and material readiness. Final timing depends on style complexity, quantity, fabric availability, decoration, and packing requirements.
Quality Control Standards
Inspection steps and buyer-facing quality expectations before shipment.
What quality control steps are included during production?
Quality control covers material review, cutting checks, sewing and workmanship checks, in-process inspection, final inspection, packing review, and shipment preparation. The exact checkpoints can be adjusted to the product and buyer requirements.
Does Forthright follow AQL inspection standards?
Yes. Final inspection can be aligned with common AQL expectations when required by the buyer. Inspection level, defect classification, and reporting format should be confirmed before bulk production begins.
Sample Policy
How proto, modification, pre-production, salesman, and photo samples are handled.
Are proto samples charged?
Proto samples are usually charged according to style complexity. Simple tops, pants, and skirts may be lower cost, while outerwear, complex construction, embroidery, printing, or special techniques may require a higher sample fee.
Can sample fees be refunded?
Some proto or modification sample fees may be refundable against qualifying bulk orders, commonly when bulk quantity reaches the required threshold. The final refund condition should be confirmed for each order.
Payment & Logistics
Commercial coordination, packing, shipment, and documentation basics.
What payment terms are available?
Payment terms are confirmed per order after quotation, sample approval, and buyer account review. The team will confirm deposit, balance, and any documentation requirements before production starts.
Can Forthright support custom packing requirements?
Yes. Custom polybags, hangtags, labels, cartons, barcode stickers, and packing ratios can be discussed before bulk production. Final packing requirements should be confirmed before materials and cartons are ordered.
