Transaction

What payment methods do you accept? We accept T/T (Telegraphic Transfer / bank wire). Our standard payment term is 30% deposit after order confirmation, with the remaining 70% balance paid before shipment. T/T is a common method for international bank-to-bank transfers. What “T/T” means T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) refers to an electronic bank transfer used widely for cross-border payments, typically routed through bank networks such as SWIFT/correspondent banking. Our standard payment structure (30/70) After the order is confirmed, we ask for a 30% deposit to start procurement and production planning. The remaining 70% balance is due before shipment, so the goods can be released for dispatch on time. This “deposit + balance” structure is commonly used in international trade. What the final payment schedule depends on The exact timing can vary based on:• Order type (sample vs mass production; repeat vs new part)• Documentation needs (FAI, full inspection pack, PPAP if required)• Shipping terms (FOB/DDP, booking schedule)• Your internal approval workflow (PO release / finance processing time) How the payment process typically works (steps) 1. We confirm specs, quantity, Incoterms, and lead time2. We issue a Proforma Invoice (PI)3. Buyer arranges 30% deposit via T/T4. Production + inspection (and documents, if requested)5. We send shipment-ready notice + final amount6. Buyer pays 70% balance before shipment7. Goods ship and documents are shared per agreed terms To confirm the exact payment schedule for your order, send your drawing/specs + quantity + Incoterms. We’ll issue a PI and lock the timeline with your order confirmation.

Core Answer For newly developed custom parts, PairGears has no minimum order quantity (MOQ)—we can develop and produce even 1 piece. However, for new custom products, customers are required to cover the tooling cost (tools/fixtures/cutters/gauges needed to develop and manufacture the part). MOQ commonly means the smallest quantity a supplier will accept per order. What “no MOQ” means for your order “MOQ” is often used by manufacturers to set a minimum order size so production runs remain efficient.Our policy for new development is different: we can start with low-volume prototypes so you can validate fit and performance before committing to larger volumes. Why tooling cost is required for new custom parts Even if the quantity is small, a new gear/shaft often needs dedicated cutters, fixtures, tooling, and inspection gauges to hit drawing requirements and repeatability. Tooling costs are the expenses associated with designing and making the tools/fixtures used in manufacturing. What your final MOQ / unit price may depend on While “no MOQ” applies to development, the most economical order size (and your unit price) depends on:• Tooling scope (new cutters/fixtures/gauges needed or not)• Process route (heat treat, grinding, gear measurement requirements)• Accuracy & inspection pack (FAI/full reports/PPAP if required)• Volume plan (trial + first batch + annual forecast) Quick reference table Item PairGears standard Notes MOQ for newly developed custom parts No MOQ (1 pc possible) For development and prototypes Tooling costRequired for new custom partsCutters/fixtures/gauges as neededBest unit priceUsually at higher volumeWe provide price breaks by quantity Send your drawing/sample + quantity plan.
