We answer the most common questions from global brands and manufacturers about sourcing fur and shearling materials. The information below outlines our standard process, and we welcome discussing specific terms with you. For questions not covered here, please feel free to contact our team.

1. Ordering & Customization

Q1: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

A: We serve B2B clients with flexible MOQs to match your needs:

  • Dyed/Custom Orders: The standard MOQ for fur hides starts from 100 pelts/hides.
  • Other Finished Products or Special Specifications: We are happy to discuss and negotiate the MOQ based on your specific product and process requirements.

Q2: What types of fur and shearling materials do you offer?

A: As a professional fur supplier and shearling manufacturer, we supply high-quality materials, including but not limited to:

  • Sheepskin Shearling: Dense, soft, and warm, commonly used for home rugs, mattress toppers, and boot linings. We are a reliable sheepskin supplier for furniture manufacturers.
  • Tan Lamb Shearling: Features a unique wavy pattern and silky sheen. Its lightweight and soft texture makes it ideal for high-end fashion and luxury home decor projects.
  • Specialty & Exotic Furs: We also provide premium furs such as fox fur hides, mink fur pelts, and raccoon dog fur to meet the needs of diverse luxury decor and design projects.

Q3: What can you customize?

A: We specialize in custom fur materials. You can specify:

  • Physical Specifications: Size (full hide/cut), leather thickness, pile height, and density.
  • Appearance & Finish: Custom dyed fur hides in any color (Pantone matching available), tip-dye effects, and matte or glossy finishes.
  • Functional Treatments: Add special properties like flame retardant fur treatment, stain resistance, or anti-static treatment based on your needs.
  • Certifications & Compliance: We ensure tanned hides meet relevant environmental and safety standards for your target market.

2. Samples, Quality & Production

Q4: Do you provide samples? What is your pre-production sample policy?

A:

  • Sample Support: We can send relevant physical fur samples for designers upon request for you to evaluate texture, color, and thickness.
  • Pre-Production Samples: If a client specifically requests it, we can arrange a pre-production sample fur piece to ensure we share the same understanding of the final product. We charge a fee to cover the associated labor and material costs.

Q5: How do you ensure the quality of bulk fur orders?

A: We follow a strict confirmation and quality control for fur hides process:

  1. Standard Confirmation: At the order outset, we use a reference sample you provide, or a confirmation sample we send, as the sole quality benchmark for production.
  2. Systematic Production: We rely on standardized tanning, dyeing, and strict batch control.
  3. Pre-Shipment Inspection: Our quality control department inspects all bulk fur hides before shipment to ensure they match the confirmed sample standard.

Q6: What is the typical lead time for fur production?

A: For standard custom fur orders, our typical lead time for fur production is 15 to 20 working days. Please note that factors like weather, raw material supply, or other force majeure events can extend this period. In rare cases, lead times may reach 30 to 40 working days. We will provide the best possible timeline estimate before you place your order.

3. Technical Support, Logistics & After-Sales

Q7: Can you advise on material and specification selection for my product?

A: Absolutely. Our technical service is a key strength. Tell us about your end product (e.g., sofa, car seat, coat), desired outcome (softness, durability, gloss), and target market. Our engineers will then provide professional advice on fur material selection and finish recommendations.

Q8: What are your payment terms?

A: We offer clear and flexible payment terms for fur suppliers:

  • For orders under USD $20,000, we typically require full payment upon order confirmation.
  • For orders over USD $20,000, our standard terms are a 30% to 50% deposit, with the balance due before shipment.
  • We can negotiate specific terms based on the order details, our cooperation history, and mutual trust.

Q9: What are your logistics terms?

A: With extensive global export experience, we support standard international trade terms, primarily FOB (Free On Board) and CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) for fur shipping. You can choose the most suitable term for your supply chain.

Q10: How do you handle quality concerns after delivery?

A: We believe quality is the foundation of partnership. Upon receipt, please check the goods against the sealed reference sample both parties confirmed during the initial order stage. If you have any concerns, please contact us within 7 working days of delivery with clear photo or video evidence. We will investigate immediately and work with you to find a professional and responsible solution.
