Yes, our MOQ is based on the supplier's MOQ. As we purchase from wholesalers, most of them have a MOQ of 3+. To check your supplier's MOQ, please see our list of suppliers. If your product is not listed, you may submit a sourcing request here.
Official business hours are 09:00-18:00 Monday-Saturday, Beijing time. We fulfil orders on a regular basis outside these hours except for national Chinese holidays when our couriers do not operate. We typically respond to all clients during our business hours and sometimes out of hours, although please allow up to 24 hours for a response.
Sometimes, it depends on quite a few factors. At times we can beat them by $1 or $2, whereas some products will be much more expensive. Generally, we do not attempt to beat or even compete with Aliexpress as we offer a much, much higher level of service. If we are able to offer you better pricing than Aliexpress, consider it a bonus.
Yes, our app currently supports Shopify and Woocommerce, although we do have other options that support many more platforms outside of our app. More support will be added in time.
Facebook Messenger is used as the default of our clients on the free service. For any paid subscriptions, clients are onboarded via Slack which is a versatile, powerful but very user-friendly platform that allows you to manage and integrate with other platforms via API connections. You can invite any team members you may have to collaborate with the Honest FulPhilment team.
Currently (Q1 2022), we have a capacity of 8000 daily orders, although we have yet to send out that many orders in any one day. We always try to have at least double capacity for scalability.

Yes, we only use trackable services unless for any reason you specifically request untracked (although this is not recommended).
Of course, we highly recommend this route for high volume sellers. There are no additional fees for doing so, in fact, you can save a lot of time and money with processing times reduced to within 24 hours.
As long as you have inventory, we dispatch within 24 hours and in rare cases, during very peak periods, within 48 hours. If you do not have inventory and are operating on a dropshipping basis, the average sourcing time is 4-5 days after physically receiving your payment.
Yes, once dispatched, tracking numbers will be synced seamlessly. We do not generate or push tracking numbers before we physically dispatch as this skews data.
We can ship to almost every destination in the world, although there are quite a few which we do not recommend sending to as the logistics infrastructure in such countries is very poor. As a result, loss, damage and speed are unfavourable.
For sure! We have many clients who transitioned over to us from their manufacturers or wholesalers as they were either not experienced enough to manage fulfilment, or they just couldn’t keep up with the volume. View our pricing.

Please note, however, that developing your own product is very costly and time-consuming within MOQs generally starting from 10k+ depending on the product characteristic and project complexity.
