How the Floor Works

• Booths ≈ 4×4 m with 2–3 assistants. Stock trays updated every 2–3 weeks — repeat visits pay off.
• ~50% vendors keep same-day stock; others need 7–28 days for production.
• Samples are usually display-only; expect 3–5× wholesale price (deductible if you follow up with an order).
• For technical specs (plating thickness, MSDS, custom logos) hire a translator or sourcing agent.

Value-Added Services (same building)

• OEM/ODM rapid cycle (5–7 days): JPG/Pantone → CAD → brass prototype → plating → packing.
• Logo laser / engraving & barcode printing on 4F mezzanine while you wait.
• Nearby inspection offices (SGS / BV) ~200 m; agent desks for repacking and FBA label prep.
