Payment & Terms
Every FUCHARM order runs on a written contract, a fixed deposit ratio and named receiving account. No verbal variation, no third-party collection — so your finance team can approve the PO without chasing us.
Order to Payment
A fixed seven-step sequence. Each step produces a document you can put into your own purchase file.
Issued against your target quantity, finish, packaging and destination port.
The PI is the binding commercial document — signed back by both parties it becomes the order contract.
Anti-fraud notice: FUCHARM collects payment only through the corporate account named on the signed PI. If anyone asks you to remit to a different or personal account, stop and contact chr@fucharm.com or +86 579 8262 0918 for verification before you transfer.
Accepted Methods
Standard practice in European and North American supply chains. All methods settle into the same company account.
Deposit & Balance
These are our published standard terms. Long-term accounts and repeat programmes can be negotiated against an agreed credit line.
| Order Type | Deposit | Balance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Samples & trial order | 100% in advance | — | Sample fee refundable against the first mass-production order |
| Standard stock order | 30% after PI signing | 70% before shipment | Default terms for most container orders |
| Custom OEM order | 30–50% after PI signing | 50–70% before shipment | Higher deposit applies where new tooling or a custom mould is required |
| Repeat order, established account | 30% after PI signing | Balance against B/L copy | Available after 2 completed orders; subject to credit review |
| Large programme | Negotiable | L/C at sight | Typically orders above USD 200,000, or staged multi-container releases |
Ownership and release: goods remain the property of FUCHARM until the balance has been received in full. Original shipping documents are released only after cleared payment — this protects both sides and is stated openly on every PI.
Invoicing & Documentation
Complete export documentation is issued with every shipment, prepared so your customs broker and finance department have nothing to request twice.
Payment FAQ
For established accounts we regularly work on balance-against-B/L-copy. New customers begin on the standard 30/70 terms, and terms are reviewed upward after two completed and clean orders. Large programmes with staged releases are normally settled by irrevocable L/C at sight.
Yes. The deposit secures the raw material for your specific specification — 304 stainless steel coil, coating and custom packaging are all purchased to order. Production is booked into the line only once the deposit has landed and been confirmed by our finance department.
Place the order through our Alibaba.com storefront and the payment, delivery date and agreed product quality are recorded on the platform. If we fail to meet the agreed terms, the platform's dispute process applies. You get platform-mediated protection plus direct factory pricing.
Yes, on qualifying orders. Full payment at PI signing is eligible for a discount against the quoted unit price. The rate depends on order value and the current raw-material position, so it is confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than published here.
The lead time on the PI is a contractual commitment. If the delay is attributable to us, we notify you at the earliest point the risk appears — not after the date has passed. Our liability position and the remedies available to you are set out in the purchase contract.
