How to Order Chikankari Wholesale: From Enquiry to Dispatch
Ordering Chikankari wholesale should be simple once the buyer, product, quantity and sourcing model are clear. This page explains the full B2B process for ready stock, custom orders and make-to-order production—from the first enquiry through quotation, payment, QC, packing and dispatch.
The same framework works for boutiques, retailers, resellers, ecommerce sellers, importers, distributors, fashion brands, designers and sourcing agents. The exact MOQ, price, product availability and project scope are confirmed on the quotation for the specific order.

The Wholesale Ordering Process
01. Share Your Requirement
Buyer type, country, products, size range, approximate quantity, sourcing model, price position and required timeline.
02. Select Products / Brief
Choose catalogue styles or share references, tech packs, size charts, customisation and private-label requirements.
03. Confirm Availability / Feasibility
Ready-stock availability, custom feasibility, make-to-order scope, MOQ and sample requirements are checked for the actual order.
04. Receive Quotation
Quotation defines products, quantity, applicable price/MOQ, payment terms, packing, dispatch timeline and any project-specific commercial conditions.
05. Approve & Pay
Order begins only after the applicable booking/advance payment is received and the final requirement is approved.
06. Pick / Produce
Ready stock is allocated or custom/MTO production moves through the approved manufacturing route.
07. QC & Packing
Orders pass through the required QC checks, finishing, loose-thread cutting, final reconciliation and packing.
08. Balance & Dispatch
Any balance, applicable taxes and shipping are cleared before the packed order is released to the agreed logistics route.
What to Send With Your Wholesale Enquiry
A complete enquiry gets to a useful quotation faster. Share:
- business / buyer type
- country and delivery destination
- product categories or reference styles
- size range and approximate quantity
- ready stock, custom or make-to-order preference
- private-label requirements if any
- target launch or required dispatch window
- special packing, barcode, label or documentation requirements
For custom or private-label development, include sketches, tech packs, measurements, embroidery references or packaging artwork where relevant.
Payment Is Part of the Order Workflow
Ready Stock: 100% advance.
Custom Orders: 50% booking advance + 50% before dispatch.
Make to Order: 40% order confirmation + 30% production start + 20% production completion/QC + 10% before dispatch.
Applicable taxes and shipping/freight are payable by the buyer. For international orders, the buyer/importer is responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage and destination-clearance charges unless agreed otherwise in writing.
QC, Packing & Dispatch Before the Order Leaves
Orders move through three QC checkpoints covering sizing, finishing, embroidery quality, the zero-defect inspection target and extra loose-thread cutting.
Private-label orders receive brand-level QC with additional attention to sizing, ironing and packing.
After QC, the order is reconciled, packed and prepared for dispatch. Dispatch timing depends on the sourcing model: 5 days ready stock, 20 days custom and 60 days make to order.
International Orders: Add Export & Customs Planning
International buyers follow the same product-order process, with additional shipment and customs preparation. The buyer/importer should confirm destination duties, taxes, tariff classification, customs-broker requirements and any local import or labelling requirements before dispatch.
Shipping/freight, customs duties, import taxes, brokerage and destination-clearance charges are the buyer/importer’s responsibility unless the written quotation states otherwise.
Repeat Orders Should Be Faster to Specify
For repeat orders, reference the previous SKU/style, colour, size breakdown, packing instruction and approved specification wherever possible. Reconfirm availability before promising stock to customers.
For handmade products, fabric lots, dye lots, embroidery execution and availability can show natural variation, so repeat orders should still be reconfirmed rather than assumed identical without review.
