OEM That Works
START OEM
STEP 1
Inform the requirements
The buyer provides a product concept, specifications, drawings, samples, or target price. The OEM supplier evaluates feasibility, materials, tooling needs, and compliance (e.g., CE, RoHS, FCC). Both parties clarify packaging, labeling (buyer’s brand), quantity, and delivery terms.
Estimated time: 3–7 business days
STEP 2
Quotation & Negotiation
SOARSHARK calculates costs: tooling/mold fees, unit price, packaging, testing, logistics, and payment terms (typically 30% deposit, 70% before shipment or against BL copy). Both parties negotiate MOQ, lead time, and quality standards. A Proforma Invoice (PI) is issued.
Estimated time: 5–10 business days
STEP 3
Sample Development & Approval
SOARSHARK produces pre-production samples (sometimes with 3D prints or pilot runs). Samples are shipped to buyer for fit, function, and appearance testing. If needed, modifications are made and second-round samples provided. Written sample approval (e.g., sign-off sheet or email) is required.
Estimated time:Standard sample (no new mold): 10–15 days New mold/tooling: 25–40 days Shipping sample (express): 3–5 days Revisions: +5–10 days per round
STEP 4
Order Confirmation & Contract
Buyer signs the PI or issues a purchase order (PO). Both parties sign a formal OEM agreement covering IP ownership (buyer’s design/tooling belongs to buyer), confidentiality, liability, and quality acceptance criteria. Deposit (30–50%) is wired.
Estimated time: 2–5 business days
STEP 5
Production & Quality Control
SOARSHARK orders raw materials, starts mass production. In-line inspections (IQC, IPQC) are performed. A third-party inspection (e.g., SGS, Bureau Veritas) can be arranged at buyer’s cost. Buyer may request pre-shipment photos/videos or on-site visit.
Estimated time: Simple assembly: 15–20 days Medium complexity (molding + assembly): 25–35 days
STEP 6
Payment of Balance & Document Transfer
Buyer pays remaining 50–70%. Buyer arranges freight forwarder or uses supplier’s nominated forwarder. SOARSHARK releases original B/L, packing list, certificate of origin, and insurance (if any) to buyer.
STEP 7
After-Sales & Feedback
Buyer checks goods upon arrival. If defects are found, both parties resolve via warranty terms (usually 6–12 months for manufacturing defects). Supplier files quality reports and implements corrective actions for future orders.
