How to Order Wholesale Credential Clothing — From Inquiry to Delivery
Four simple steps from your first contact to container delivery at your port.
Step 1 — Request a Quote
Contact us with your destination port, preferred product (credential clothing, mixed rags, used shoes, or a mix), container size, and any specific packaging requirements. The more detail you provide, the faster we can price your load accurately. We respond within 24 hours with FOB pricing and current availability.
Step 2 — Confirm Your Order
Once you agree to pricing, we schedule your container slot and lock in your product mix. You receive a packing confirmation with estimated weights and a timeline before loading begins. For first-time buyers, we recommend scheduling a video call so you can ask questions before committing.
Step 3 — Loading & Export
Packing, estimated container weight, minimum order, availability and shipping terms are confirmed in the written quotation. Final loading weights control.
Step 4 — Delivery & Reorder
The container arrives at your port. You inspect, unload, sort, and sell. Buyers can contact AFCAN after delivery to discuss repeat-order availability. We assign you a consistent point of contact so your second and third orders are even faster to arrange.
