What is the MOQ for air circulator fans, and can I start with a smaller trial order before placing a bulk order?
Standard minimum order quantities (MOQ) for air circulator fans range from 50 to 500 units depending on factory customization and model size. Most manufacturers allow trial orders of 10 to 20 units or paid sample units (typically 1.2 to 1.5 times wholesale price) to evaluate product quality before placing full-volume production orders.
Minimum Order Quantities & Trial Order Policies
Factory minimum order quantities (MOQs) for standard off-the-shelf air circulator fans range from 50 units for 24-inch industrial floor models to 500 units for 8-inch compact desk models.
Buyers can request evaluation sample orders of 1 to 3 units, priced at 120% to 150% of the standard wholesale tier cost plus express freight charges.
Trial orders of 10 to 20 units are permitted for market testing, incurring a 10% to 15% unit price premium over the standard 100-unit wholesale rate.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements, such as custom color housing or logo silk-screening, increase the minimum order threshold to 500 or 1,000 units per model.
Sample fees and trial order surcharges are applied as a credit toward the total balance when a buyer places a full production order meeting the 200-unit threshold within 60 days.
