Controlled first-order planning
Small Test Orders for Card Shops
Card shops can request a deliberately limited test order of Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG singles, sealed products, or both. We first define what the test should evaluate—customer interest, price-band fit, display appeal, or replenishment workflow—then quote an available mix without promising a universal minimum or sales result.
You review the prepared WhatsApp message before sending. Product and delivery terms are confirmed in a written quote.
What makes a useful shop test
A small test order is a scoped wholesale trial, not a sample guarantee or a fixed starter pack. The contents should match the shop’s customer profile, available display space, product budget, and learning objective.
Singles and sealed products are evaluated separately because they have different unit economics, presentation needs, and availability. Shipping is also quoted from the actual destination and parcel rather than assumed inside a product price.
Define what the first order should test
Choose one or two learning goals so the proposed order remains focused.
| Test goal | Possible scope | What to observe | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual interest | Small AR/EX mix | Questions, handling, and display response | Audience and preferred themes |
| Price-band fit | Separated card tiers | Which offers match your own pricing plan | Working product budget |
| Sealed demand | Limited sealed selection | Customer interest by format | Preferred product types; no ETB assumption |
| Operations | Singles plus sealed, listed separately | Receiving, display, and restock workload | Space, timing, and destination |

How we keep a first order controlled
The first proposal is designed to answer a business question, not maximize order size.

Important buying boundaries
- A small test is considered case by case; there is no universal fixed MOQ or starter price.
- No customer demand, profit, sell-through, or follow-up availability is guaranteed.
- Simplified Chinese sealed products should not be described as an English-style ETB ecosystem.
- Availability, composition, condition, and shipping are confirmed in the written quote before payment.
