Frequently asked questions

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ varies by product and is listed on each item on the Socks and Uniforms pages. Lower quantities may be possible on request. Ask us on WhatsApp or via the quote form.

Do you accept custom or private label orders?

Yes. Colours, sizing, packaging and branding can be customised to your school, retail brand or institution's specification.

Do you export outside India?

Yes. Our first export shipment went to Dubai in 2015, and we have shipped overseas since. We are IEC registered with the DGFT and prepare export documentation for every overseas order. Within India we supply mainly across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.

What are your typical lead times?

Typically 45 to 60 days from order confirmation. Repeat orders in an existing design usually run at the shorter end; new custom designs, colour matching and sampling take longer. We confirm a firm date with your quotation.

What payment methods do you accept?

For domestic orders, 50% advance with the balance before dispatch, paid by bank transfer. For export orders we accept the same terms or an irrevocable Letter of Credit, agreed in writing before production starts.
