From choosing your first SKUs to receiving your shipment — a step-by-step walkthrough for new wholesale buyers.
Sourcing wholesale pet beds and mats for the first time can feel overwhelming — which products to pick, how many to order, whether samples are necessary. This guide walks you through every step of the process at PetFangFang so you can place your first order with confidence and start selling faster.

- Pick 1 premium pad or kennel (imitation leather / arctic velvet) and 1 entry mat (coral velvet / flannel) to cover two price points
- Beds with removable, machine-washable covers command a meaningful price premium and reduce buyer hesitation at retail
- Check that fill materials meet regional safety standards: REACH for EU, CPSC for US
Understand MOQ & Pricing
PetFangFang is a factory-direct wholesale supplier, so pricing scales with quantity. Here is what to expect before you request a quote.
Minimum Order Quantity
Most SKUs have an MOQ of 5 cartons, suitable for first-time buyers. Contact us to confirm the exact minimum for the model you want.
Pricing Basis
Prices are quoted FOB Guangzhou / Shenzhen. Factor in freight, import duties, and last-mile costs when calculating landed cost.
Payment Terms
Standard terms: 30% deposit to start production, 70% balance before shipment. T/T bank wire is the most common method.
Landed Cost Calculation Checklist
- Unit FOB price x order quantity
- + International freight (sea is ~30-40% cheaper than air for large orders)
- + Import duties (varies by country and HS code)
- + Local last-mile delivery fees
- = Total landed cost per unit
Request Samples First
Never skip the sample stage on your first order. A physical sample lets you verify fabric quality, fill density, and product photography before committing to bulk production.
Dutch Velvet Mat Set 6016-0143
Three-piece bundle — sample to confirm component cohesion, cover fit, and packaging presentation.

Reversible Flannel Mat 6023-0413
Dual-use plaid mat — check reversible fabric quality and stitching density before committing to bulk.
Shop Now →What to Check When Your Sample Arrives
- Fill density — press down and release; good sponge/PP cotton should rebound within 2-3 seconds
- Cover removability — zip open and closed 10+ times; confirm washing instructions are accurate
- Fabric pilling — rub the surface vigorously 20 strokes; premium velvet should show minimal pilling
- Stitching — check all seams under tension; look for even stitch density with no loose threads
- Photography — shoot sample in natural light immediately; styled pet beds photograph exceptionally well for listings
Confirm Specs & Place Your Order
Once your sample is approved, confirm all specifications in writing before production begins. Work through this checklist with your sales contact.
SKU & Quantity
Confirm exact model number, colorways, and quantity per variant. Specify size mix (e.g., S / M / L split).
Packaging
Specify retail box, polybag, or carton-only. Confirm if barcode stickers, hang tags, or custom inserts are required.
Labeling Requirements
Provide label files for country-of-origin stickers, material composition tags, and any care instruction labels.
Proforma Invoice
Review and approve the PI before sending your deposit. Confirm HS codes are correct for your import declaration.
Shipping & Lead Time
Plan your inventory timeline before you confirm. Here is what to expect from production through to your warehouse.
Production Lead Time
Standard production takes approximately 20-30 days after deposit confirmation. Bulky bedding items ship well by sea.
Ocean Freight
25-35 days port-to-port. Highly recommended for pet beds — good CBM ratio makes sea freight very cost-effective.
Air / Express
5-10 days door-to-door. Higher per-kg cost — best for samples or small urgent restocks only.
Typical Timeline: First Order by Sea Freight to the US
- Day 0 — Deposit received, production starts
- Day 25-30 — Production complete, quality inspection
- Day 32-35 — Cargo handed to freight forwarder, booking confirmed
- Day 60-70 — Arrives at US destination port
- Day 70-80 — Customs clearance + last-mile delivery to your warehouse
