China wholesale markets offer exceptional pricing on ready-to-ship, standard inventory due to fierce vendor competition on site. However, direct factories yield significantly lower unit costs for custom, high-volume OEM orders because middleman margins are completely removed.

High minimum order thresholds usually reflect raw material batch minimums, custom material dyeing runs, tooling setups, or bespoke packaging production rather than vendor stubbornness. Standard off-the-shelf catalog goods support low or flexible MOQs.
