BLDC Motor Wholesale FAQ
What Wholesale Buyers And Distributors Ask Before The First PO.
The eight questions wholesale buyers and distributors ask most often before the first PO. For deal-specific questions not covered here, send the inquiry — export desk replies inside 1 working day on stocked-SKU pricing and inside 5 working days on full distributor agreement scope.
What's the minimum order quantity for wholesale pricing?
Wholesale pricing tiers start at 100 units per SKU. Tiers are 100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000+ — automatic price step at each tier on stocked SKUs. Below 100 units the order goes through standard sample/pilot quote. Mixed-SKU orders qualify for the tier of the total quantity if SKUs are from the same family.
How does the distributor program work?
Three tiers: Authorized Reseller (USD 50k+/yr, no territorial exclusivity), Regional Distributor (USD 200k+/yr, soft territorial protection), Master Distributor (USD 500k+/yr, hard country/region exclusivity). Written agreement, 12-month evaluation before exclusivity confirmed. Contact the export desk for the agreement template.
Which SKUs are kept in stock?
Eight highest-runner SKUs rotated monthly: 24V/250W BLDC, 24V/400W gear motor, 36V/350W BLDC, 48V/750W BLDC, 48V/1000W BLDC, 48V/1500W BLDC, 72V/1000W BLDC, 72V/2000W BLDC. 25–35 day lead-time SLA up to 1,000 units. Reviewed quarterly against demand.
What's the lead-time SLA for wholesale orders?
Stocked SKU ≤1,000u: 25–35 days; 1,000–5,000u: 35–50 days. Non-stocked ≤1,000u: 35–50 days; 1,000–5,000u: 45–65 days. 5,000+ units run on production-slot booking with batched shipments. SLA written into the PI; 1% next-order rebate if Shenghe misses without force-majeure cause.
How many motors fit per container?
Small frame (50W–250W): ~4,000–5,000 / 20GP, ~9,000–11,000 / 40HQ. Medium frame (300W–1,500W): ~2,000–3,000 / 4,500–6,500. Large frame (2kW–10kW): ~600–1,000 / 1,400–2,200. Geared variants ship 60–70% of bare-motor count. Mixed-SKU consolidation supported.
What payment terms do you offer?
T/T 30/70 standard, L/C at sight ≥ USD 30k, PayPal on samples < USD 1k. Sinosure-backed milestones for Master Distributors after 12+ months payment history. Open-account terms not offered on first orders or in standard wholesale flow. Currency USD on PI; RMB or EUR on request.
Do you support drop-ship under our brand?
Yes — direct factory drop-ship under your brand is the standard distributor model. Branded carton, your-letterhead datasheet, no Shenghe branding visible on shipment documents. Freight terms FOB / CIF / DAP / DDP per your customer agreement; documents under your trading name. Branded workflow follows OEM rules (/oem-bldc-motor/).
Can I get exclusive distribution rights for my country?
Yes — at Master Distributor tier (USD 500k+/yr) with hard territorial exclusivity in defined country/region. Bidirectional commitment: Shenghe doesn't onboard competing distributor; you commit to active territory development. Annual review against forecast; agreement spells out boundary, target, exit clauses. Vertical-split exclusivity available where multiple verticals are addressable.
