First order process
How to place a low-risk trial order for Chinese auto parts
Most buyers should not start with a large container. Start with 5 to 30 OE numbers, confirm fitment by OE/VIN/photos, approve product photos before packing, and use the result to decide what to scale.

- Workshops sourcing hard-to-find OE lines
- Online sellers building catalogue coverage
- Distributors validating mixed-brand demand
What to send
- OE number or part name
- VIN if available
- Old-part photo
- Quantity per line
- Destination city and country
- Any grade or packing preference
What the result tells you
- Whether fitment checking is reliable
- Which SKUs are quoteable fast
- Which MOQ lines need combining
- Which categories deserve repeat stock
Process
Step 1
Send 5 to 30 OE numbers
Use a real repair or stock list, not a random sample. Add brand, model, year and destination.
Step 2
Brace checks fitment
Jordan checks OE, VIN when available, old-part photos, side, connector and market version.
Step 3
Quote and Proforma Invoice
Available items come back with stock status, SKU-level MOQ, lead time and packing notes, set out on a Proforma Invoice (PI) that also states the payment terms. See how payment works.
Step 4
Approve photos before packing
Every line is photographed before packing so you approve the goods first — the photo verification before every shipment — with extra detail shots on risky lines. Payment is completed before dispatch; see payment methods and terms.
Step 5
Ship by suitable route
Urgent items can move by courier or air; replenishment and distributor orders can consolidate by sea.
Step 6
Review arrival result
Track fitment, damage, shortage and repeat demand before scaling the next order.

Trial order questions
Common trial-order questions
How many items should be in a trial order?
Start with 5 to 30 OE numbers. That is enough to test fitment, quoting and packing without creating excessive risk.
Can a trial order include several brands?
Yes. Mixed Chinese-brand orders are supported when SKU availability and MOQ allow.
Should I send VIN or old-part photos?
Yes, especially for lamps, bumpers, sensors, mirrors, connectors, left/right side parts and market-version-sensitive items.
How is payment handled for a trial order?
Payment follows the Proforma Invoice and is completed before shipment; a first trial order is not shipped on after-delivery terms. You can start small, confirm every part by photo before packing, or use platform secure trading. See the payment page for methods and terms.
