Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fenalt hold live stocklots in a warehouse?
No. Fenalt does not operate speculative warehouse inventory. We identify, verify, and source fabric overruns and cancelled mill lots directly from audited factory floors and certified textile facilities based on buyer demand briefs.
Are stocklot fabric rolls new or damaged goods?
All rib fabric stocklots sourced through Fenalt consist of brand new, un-cut production roll goods originating from export fabric mills. Any defect variations are fully audited and graded before commercial commitment.
What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) if we convert surplus ribbing into finished garments?
For custom garment production utilizing verified stocklot fabric, Fenalt operates with a standard MOQ of 50 pieces per style.
What are the sampling lead times for evaluating stocklot fabric?
Initial physical swatches or roll headers are dispatched swiftly. Our standard sampling lead time for pre-production garment execution using selected stocklot fabric is 10-15 days for production, plus 3-5 days for shipping.
What are the bulk production and turnaround times for stocklot orders?
Once pre-production samples and fabric allocations are signed off, bulk production turnaround is 15-20 days (from pre-production sample sign-off to export dispatch).
How is quality verified before balance payment?
Every fabric lot undergoes physical inspection under the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II standard with an AQL 2.5 acceptance threshold. Detailed lab reports, GSM checks, four-point defect logs, and high-resolution video audits are provided prior to final shipment release.
