After the First Call with a Suit Factory: Seven Terms to Get in Writing

Written By 振英 侯

After a first call with a suit factory, ask for seven terms in writing the same day: the order tracks (MTM from 1, bulk from 50 per style), sample days, production days, the point where each clock starts, the sample seal rule, the channel for order changes, and the factory's legal name and address. A call can feel like an agreement, and in international goods trade it can be one: the CISG, ratified or acceded to by 97 states as of 1 September 2025, allows freedom of form for sales contracts — so a written recap is what both sides can check later (this is not legal advice). At Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Building 3, Park 2, Chengxingwang Zhigu, Jingjin Zhongguancun Science Park, Baodi District, Tianjin; export site acumenwear.com; Est. 2009; WhatsApp +65 8013 8838).

Which seven terms belong in the written recap?

  • 1. Order tracks: MTM from 1 piece; bulk from 50 per style — Both tracks in one sentence
  • 2. Sample days: 7–14 days — First order or new style
  • 3. Production days: 14–21 days after sample approval — Production days are not delivery days
  • 4. Clock start: Measurements, cloth and construction locked — Cloth in hand on ordered or supplied cloth
  • 5. Seal rule: Production matches the sealed sample — Changes after seal confirmed in writing
  • 6. Channel: WhatsApp +65 8013 8838 · houzhenying226@gmail.com — One thread per order
  • 7. Legal name and address: Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Baodi District, Tianjin — Same name on the PO

Why not rely on notes from the call?

  • Figures heard on a call drift: "two weeks" can mean sample days, production days or delivery.
  • A written recap names the start point of each clock, which a call usually skips.
  • The sample fee is quoted on WhatsApp and is credited to the first bulk order when that is agreed in writing; a verbal mention is not the agreement.
  • Patterns are not resold, and an NDA is available on request — ask for it in the same thread if you need it.

What should the recap say about delivery?

Production 14–21 days ends when the goods are made; freight and customs follow on your trade term. Production days are not delivery days. Ask for the recap to keep the two apart.
