Bulk & Wholesale Orders
Bulk purchasing that stays online when the terms are clear.
Bulk and distributor purchasing is a core part of the AQUROV business, not a side channel. Standard components — including volume orders — are ordered directly from the store. When a configuration, a compatibility question or a trade term needs a human decision, we review it and come back with pricing and lead time.
Orders approaching US$10,000 are still handled online when the products are standard and the freight can be calculated automatically.
Pricing
Three price levels, confirmed on the order.
AQUROV quotes at three levels: standard retail, bulk and distributor. Which one applies is decided by the order itself, not by a fixed public table, because quantity, product family, lead time, payment terms and the level of customization all move the number.
Standard retail price
The published store price for single units and small quantities. These items are specified on the product page and paid at checkout.
Bulk price
For larger quantities of standard products, and for quantities of a standard product that only need light changes such as cable length or a connector. Confirmed with the order.
Distributor price
For partners who buy repeatedly. Agreed with the partner and reviewed as the cooperation develops, rather than published as a single open number.
Bulk and distributor prices are quoted per product family and per order. Published online tier tables are not live on this site yet, so pricing is confirmed in writing before an order is placed.
Buying repeatedly for resale in your own market is a different arrangement from a one-off volume order: Distributor Program.
Buying path
Order online, or ask for a review.
Order value is not what decides whether a purchase is handled online. What decides is whether the products are standard and the terms are fully specified.
Complete it online
When everything below is true, place the order in the store and pay at checkout.
- The items are standard catalog products
- Quantity and configuration are fully specified
- Selection and compatibility are already confirmed
- Payment is a standard online payment
- Freight can be calculated automatically for the destination
Send it for review
These cases are checked by our team before pricing or feasibility is confirmed.
- Product or technical conditions are not yet clear
- Selection or compatibility has to be confirmed
- Special payment arrangements or credit terms are required
- Special logistics, trade terms, or freight that cannot be calculated automatically
- The configuration goes beyond the standard options
- Risk, compliance or an abnormal order pattern has to be reviewed
An accepted order, not just a confirmed price
A quotation, and even a completed checkout, is not the same thing as an order being accepted. For standard products the order enters execution — and the lead time starts counting — once payment is complete and the order has passed review. For lightly customized products the same happens once payment is complete and the final drawings are confirmed.
Quantity
MOQ, samples and volume ramp.
There is no single site-wide MOQ. Minimum order quantity is confirmed per product family together with price and lead time, because it depends on how the item is produced and how much of it is made in one batch.
| Stage | Typical volume | How it is priced | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample | 1–5 units | Standard items at normal unit price | Low-risk changes such as cable length, connectors or packaging can go straight to production; larger changes are sampled first |
| Light customization sample | 1–5 units | Product cost plus a sampling or engineering fee | Fees can be partly or fully credited once the agreed production volume is reached |
| Small batch | 20–100 units | Bulk price confirmed on the order | MOQ and any tier thresholds depend on the product family, not on the order value alone |
| Mature project | Several hundred to 1,000+ units per year | Distributor price agreed with the partner | Repeat orders reuse the agreed specification, documentation and inspection level |
The volumes above describe the usual progression from first sample to repeat production. They are a planning reference: the binding MOQ for your order is the one we confirm in writing with the quotation.
Sampling fees for lightly customized products can be partly or fully credited once the agreed batch volume is reached, and a batch goes into production only after our internal testing passes and you confirm the sample.
Order handling
Payment, stock reservation and lead time.
Standard products and lightly customized products start on different conditions, and neither starts counting lead time until the order is accepted.
Payment
- Standard products: online payment by default, including orders approaching US$10,000
- Bank transfer when you prefer it, or for special payment arrangements, large non-standard transactions and specific countries or regions
- Small customization: 100% prepayment
- Large customization: deposit with the balance, settled before shipment in principle
- Credit terms are assessed per customer and per project
Stock and lead time
- Standard products: execution starts after payment is complete and the order passes review
- Light customization: execution starts after payment is complete and the final technical documents or drawings are confirmed
- Stock is reserved once payment is received
- Key customers, confirmed purchase orders and large orders close to payment can request a short reservation with a fixed deadline
- Lead time is confirmed internally before it is promised; expediting is checked against stock, purchasing, production, QC and logistics, and may carry an expedite fee
If an item is out of stock
You choose how to proceed: wait for the next replenishment, switch to an alternative model, ship the available part of the order first, or take a refund on the affected items. We tell you which of these is possible before the order is locked.
Freight
Shipping for volume orders.
Freight is calculated automatically whenever the order can be standardized. Everything else is quoted by hand, because a freight cost that is guessed is worse than one that is quoted.
Calculated at checkout
- Standard dimensions and weights
- Common destinations and standard service levels
- Trade terms the system can price end to end
Quoted by hand
- Oversized or unusually heavy shipments
- Specific countries or regions with limited service
- Non-standard transport modes
- Customized products and project orders
- Trade terms that cannot be standardized
Terms for volume, distributor and project orders
Small and mid-size batches normally ship by international express or air, delivered to your door. Larger batches, distributor orders and project orders can be executed on EXW, FOB or CIF terms. Transit time depends on the service selected and the destination, so we quote it with the shipment rather than as a blanket promise.

Request
What to send with your bulk request.
A complete request is answered faster, because pricing, freight and lead time can all be checked in one pass instead of three emails.
- Product names, model numbers or links to the store items
- Quantity per item, and the total quantity for the shipment
- What the products will be used for — a new build, spares, a resale programme
- Key technical parameters: voltage, depth rating, interface, cable length
- Destination country and city
- Required delivery timing, if the project has a fixed date
- Whether any item needs modification, and which kind
- Drawings, interface and dimension details, or a datasheet, when a modification is involved
- Preferred payment method and any invoicing requirements
Repeat orders
Once an order has been delivered, a repeat order only needs the products, quantities, parameters, timing and anything new. The earlier specification, documentation and inspection level are reused, so the second order costs you less work than the first.
If the change is bigger than cable length, connectors, mounting dimensions, packaging or a parameter range, it belongs on the Light Customization path, or with our engineering team for a system-level project.
Questions
Bulk ordering questions.
Four questions that come up before a first volume order.
Can I place a bulk order online?
Yes, when the products are standard catalog items and the terms are clear: quantity, configuration, compatibility, payment method and a destination the store can price. The order value is not the deciding factor — orders approaching US$10,000 are still completed online.
If selection, compatibility, trade terms or the configuration need a decision from our team, send the request instead and we confirm pricing and lead time in writing.
What is your MOQ?
MOQ is confirmed per product family, because it follows how the item is produced rather than a single site-wide rule. There is no published MOQ number that applies to everything we sell.
Send the product, the quantity you have in mind and the destination, and we answer with the MOQ, the price and the lead time together. Sample quantities — typically 1–5 units — are ordered at the normal unit price for standard products.
Do you publish tiered prices?
Not yet. Bulk and distributor pricing exists as a level of pricing, but it is confirmed per product family and per order rather than shown as a public tier table on this site. Published online wholesale pricing is a planned next step, not a live feature.
How is lead time handled on a bulk order?
Lead time starts counting when the order is accepted — after payment is complete and the order passes review for standard products, and after payment plus final drawing confirmation for lightly customized products.
We confirm lead time internally before committing to it, and we can split a shipment when part of the order is ready earlier. Expediting is possible only after stock, purchasing, production, QC and logistics have been checked, and it may carry an expedite fee.
Ready to price your volume order?
Send the product list, quantities, destination and required timing. If everything is standard, you can also complete the order in the store right away — no quote step required.
