When you’re just starting out with a new brand or launching your first product, one of the biggest roadblocks is Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). Most suppliers in China require large quantities to begin production, which can be overwhelming, risky, and expensive for startups.

At Chelsea Shipping, we understand that small brands need flexible solutions. That’s why we focus on helping you source custom products from China with low MOQs—so you can grow confidently without massive upfront costs.

😰 The Problem with High MOQs

Here’s why high MOQs are not ideal—especially for small businesses:

1. High Upfront Investment

You might be forced to spend thousands of dollars just to meet the minimum requirement. That’s money you could use for marketing, branding, or building your website.

2. Storage Issues

Ordering 1,000+ units of a product means you’ll need space to store it. For many startups, there’s simply no room—literally.

3. Product Risk

What if your product doesn’t sell? You’re stuck with excess inventory and sunk costs. Low MOQs help you test the market safely.

4. Limited Product Testing

You can’t experiment with new ideas or make changes without placing another big order. Low MOQs give you the freedom to iterate quickly.
