What does minimum order quantity mean on 1688?
The short answer
The minimum order quantity is the number required to buy under that offer. Also check the unit being sold: a quantity of one may mean one piece or one pack, depending on the listing.
Separate three things: the minimum accepted order, the number of items in one sale unit and the price that applies at your quantity. A lower price above a threshold does not automatically make that threshold the minimum order.
Read the listing clearly
- Identify whether the price is per piece, pair, pack or another unit.
- Record the minimum order and the price tier for your quantity.
- Confirm whether sizes and colours can be combined to meet the minimum.
Before increasing the quantity
Calculate the extra product and shipping costs. Reaching a lower unit price only helps if you need the additional units and the total still suits your budget. For a first purchase, also consider whether a sample or an offer with a smaller minimum is available.
