Why advance terms on a first order

Hair is made to a specification. A lot drawn, wefted and packed to your spec cannot be resold to anyone else at the same price. If an order is abandoned mid-production, the loss sits entirely with us.

So the first order is secured — and the sample process exists precisely to make that fair. You hold approved hair in your hand before any volume money moves. Once the first shipment clears, the terms loosen. We would rather earn that than argue for it.

Documents released

Bill of lading or airway bill, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and any inspection or fumigation certificate your customs requires.

Your bank details

Always confirm account details with us on a live call or WhatsApp voice note before transferring. We will never send a change of bank details by email alone.

03
