Essential Buyer Tools & Resources

Frequently Asked Questions

Part 1: Getting Started

1. How do I start buying wholesale online? (Online wholesale kaise kharide?)

Start by exploring verified suppliers, reviewing their MOQ, payment terms, and timelines, then place a small test order to validate quality and logistics before scaling.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, create a free buyer account, browse verified sellers, and place a sample order using the “Order a Sample” button on every product page to test quality before bulk purchases.

2. Do I need a GST or business license to buy wholesale? (GST zaroori hai?)

You can usually begin without GST for small or trial orders; GST registration helps claim input tax credit and keeps accounting compliant as you grow.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, both GST and non-GST buyers are welcome. If you add your GSTIN, we automatically issue a GST-compliant invoice for each order.

3. What is MOQ, and how do I meet it? (MOQ kya hota hai?)

MOQ is the minimum number of units required to access wholesale pricing. It keeps operations efficient and pricing fair for buyers and sellers.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, MOQ starts at just 10 pieces per seller. You can mix designs, colors, and fabrics within a seller’s catalog to meet it easily.

4. How do I choose the right fabrics/styles for my customers? (Sahi fabric kaise chune?)

Match fabrics to climate, occasion, and price expectations. Lightweight cottons for daily wear; organza/silk blends for festive seasons; prints that suit your region.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, use Fabric Insights and the Fabric Comparison Guide to pick winning materials like Kota Doria, Organza, and Linen.

5. I’m new—what’s the safest way to test demand? (Pehle trial kaise karu?)

Test with small, varied quantities across multiple styles, then reorder what sells first. This reduces dead stock and improves cash flow.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, use the “Order a Sample” button to check quality and fit with your audience before investing in bulk.

Part 2: Fabric & Quality

6. How can I check fabric quality online? (Kapda quality kaise check kare?)

Look for GSM (weight), fiber content, weave type, and clear photos. These cues indicate drape, durability, and care requirements.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, our Fabric Insight pages explain performance traits and use-cases by fabric so you can choose confidently.

7. Are colors and prints true to photos? (Photo jaisa hi aayega?)

Minor shade differences occur due to screen settings and dye-lot variations, especially in artisanal fabrics. Always read color notes.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we use minimal editing and multiple angles for accuracy. For exact matching, order a sample first.

8. How much fabric comes in a suit set? (Suit set mein kitna meter hota hai?)

Unstitched sets list meterage for top, bottom, and dupatta (e.g., 2.4–2.5m each). Always check the product description for exact lengths.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we specify meterage on each product page; typical sets offer generous lengths suitable for most sizes.

9. How are defects handled in wholesale orders? (Defect aaye toh?)

For genuine manufacturing defects reported on time, most wholesalers offer replacement or credit. Keep clear photos/video for proof.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, report within 48 hours with photos or an unboxing video; we’ll arrange replacement or store credit as per policy.

Part 3: Pricing & Profit

10. How do I calculate margin on wholesale apparel? (Margin kaise nikale?)

Use (Selling Price − Total Landed Cost) ÷ Selling Price × 100. Landed cost = product + GST + packaging + freight + duties (if any).

At Wholesale Trend In Need, try the Profit Margin Calculator for instant rupee profit and margin % before you buy.

11. Can I negotiate prices for bulk orders? (Badi quantity pe rate kam hoga?)

Most wholesalers use tiered pricing—cost per unit drops as quantities rise. Plan purchases to hit better price slabs.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, discounts apply automatically at checkout once you hit slab thresholds—no negotiation needed.

12. Ex-factory vs landed cost—what’s the difference?

Ex-factory is product cost only at the seller’s warehouse; landed cost is the full cost to your door (product + freight + taxes/duties + handling).

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we help estimate landed cost for domestic and export orders so you price accurately and protect margins.

13. Cash-flow tips for small boutiques? (Cash flow kaise stable rakhe?)

Order small and often, clear slow stock quickly, and maintain a buffer for seasonal dips. Track sell-through and reorder what moves.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, our low MOQ minimizes risk and lets you rotate fast-moving styles without locking capital.

Part 4: Shipping & International Orders

14. Do you ship internationally, and how are duties handled? (Bahar ship hota hai?)

Yes—most wholesalers ship globally; duties/taxes depend on the destination. Always work from a landed-cost estimate.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, get a full landed-cost quote via Request Quotation before you confirm.

15. How long does shipping take for bulk apparel? (Delivery kitne din me?)

Allow time for QC and packing: domestic ~10–12 business days; international ~12–15 business days (country/customs dependent).

At Wholesale Trend In Need, delivery estimates show on product pages; tracking is shared upon dispatch.

16. Can I split shipments by store/location? (Multi-location delivery possible?)

Many suppliers can split orders to multiple addresses; shipping costs may vary by destination.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, contact support with your order ID and split instructions to arrange multi-location delivery.

17. What packaging should I expect? (Packing kaisa hota hai?)

Typically, each garment is poly-bagged, then consolidated in sturdy cartons or bales with labeled packing lists for easy receiving.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, packaging is optimized for bulk safety and quick store-floor readiness.

Part 5: Payments & Policies

18. What payment methods do you accept? (Payment options kya hain?)

UPI, bank transfers, cards, and secure international gateways are standard; choose what fits your workflow and accounting.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, all these options are supported with verified, traceable transactions and instant confirmations.

19. Can I get a Proforma Invoice before payment? (Proforma mil sakta hai?)

Yes—Proforma confirms quantity, rates, taxes, and freight for internal approval or financing before you pay.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, request a Proforma after adding items to cart; we’ll issue a detailed PDF instantly.

20. What is your return or exchange window for wholesale? (Return policy kya hai?)

Wholesale is generally final sale; genuine defects reported promptly are replaced or credited as per policy.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, report within 48 hours with photos/video; we’ll arrange replacement or store credit.

21. Do you support Purchase Orders (POs) and GST invoices? (PO & GST invoice milega?)

Most B2B systems accept POs and provide tax-compliant invoices for registered businesses.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, enter your PO reference during checkout and receive a GST-compliant invoice automatically.

Part 6: Store Operations & Growth

22. How do I forecast stock for festivals? (Festival demand kaise plan kare?)

Use last year’s sales, search trends, and pre-orders to plan; keep fast-moving core styles and add limited seasonal capsules.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, our low MOQ lets you test trend capsules without overstocking, then reorder winners quickly.

23. How can I reduce returns in apparel? (Returns kam kaise kare?)

Publish accurate measurements, care info, and clear photos; set expectations on color/fit; and QC your inbound stock.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we focus on QC and provide detailed specs/images to help your customers buy right the first time.

24. What tools help small resellers day-to-day? (Daily ops tools?)

Track inventory, margins, and content creation; use simple calculators and product libraries to move quickly.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, use Find Your Stock, Fabric Insights, and the Margin Calculator to streamline decisions.

25. Is dropshipping possible? (Dropship possible hai?)

Dropshipping needs single-piece packing and inventory sync; margins are typically lower than bulk wholesale.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we focus on low-risk bulk (MOQ 10) for best margins; you can sample 1–5 pieces to test before buying in bulk.

Part 7: Digital Listings & Catalog

26. Can I reuse product photos and descriptions? (Photos/desc use kar sakte?)

Usually you can reuse with attribution/license as specified; optimize titles, specs, and care info for your audience.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we provide media guidance and listing tips in the Reseller Toolkit and Blogs for faster go-to-market.

27. How do I pick best-seller colors/sizes online? (Best colors/sizes kaise choose kare?)

Watch search trends, sell-through, and cart abandons; keep core colors always-on and add a few seasonal pops.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we tag core shades and share ratio tables in our Tool Kit to simplify size/color planning.

28. What content helps apparel sell faster on social? (Reels me kya dikhaye?)

Short try-ons, drape tests, and styling tips with height/size context perform best. Keep lighting natural and captions clear.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, we publish content calendars and UGC tips to help you convert views into orders.

29. Can I download and share products with customers on WhatsApp?

Yes—sharing products on WhatsApp helps validate demand and collect pre-orders quickly from your existing audience.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, every product page includes a “Share on WhatsApp” button to send images, details, and prices to customers instantly.

Part 8: Customer Service

30. Wrong size delivered—how do I request an exchange? What proof is needed?

Report within the stated window with a clear unboxing video and images showing the issue (size tag, product condition). Items must be unused and in original packaging.

At Wholesale Trend In Need, contact support within 48 hours with order ID, photos/video. If approved, we arrange reverse pickup and send the correct size or issue store credit if unavailable.
