03 — Before you order
Price, lead time & quality
If I buy multiple items, what’s your best price?
The more you buy, the more favorable the price will be. Please tell me how much you need, and I will give you the most favorable price.
How long is your production cycle?
The production lead time varies depending on your order quantity once you confirm the customization. It normally takes 20 to 35 days. For large orders, it may take up to 45 days.
How is the quality?
We create samples prior to mass production and conduct testing. Once the sample is approved, we start mass production. We carry out 100% in-line inspection during production and random checks before shipment. Quality is our top priority. Every product is fully assembled and carefully tested prior to packing.
Do you have stock ready for immediate shipment?
Some styles are in stock. Stock availability changes frequently. Please tell me the item model you want, and I will check inventory for you.
04 — Getting it to you
Shipping & logistics
How much is the shipping? Or is it free?
Shipping is not free. Shipping cost and delivery time depend on your destination and shipping method. We offer sea freight, air freight and courier options. Sea freight is the cheapest but slowest (25–45 days), courier is the most expensive yet fastest (5–8 working days), and air freight falls in between on both price and lead time (7–15 days).
Please share your country and postal code. If you are unsure which option to choose, just tell me whether you prioritize lower cost or faster delivery. I will check the exact shipping cost and estimated lead time, then recommend the best solution for you.
Can you help arrange shipment to my warehouse?
Yes, we can arrange shipment to your designated warehouse. Please share your warehouse address so we can calculate freight.
What is the weight and carton size per set?
Gross weight and carton dimension differ for different mahjong sets. I can send you the exact packing details once you confirm the model.
Can you print my barcode on the package?
Yes, we can print your barcode on the carton or gift box. Please provide your barcode file in vector format.
05 — Terms
Payment
Which payment method do you accept?
We accept multiple payment methods, including T/T, L/C, D/P, D/A, MoneyGram, Credit Card, PayPal, Western Union, Cash and Escrow.
What are your payment terms for bulk custom orders?
We normally require an advance deposit of 30% to 50% of the total amount. The balance shall be paid before shipment.
Can we have a deposit lower than 30%?
We normally set the deposit at 30%–50% for custom bulk orders to cover raw material costs. A lower deposit can be considered only after further discussion, and it depends on your order quantity.
Will you please waive the import charge and payment fee?
I'm very sorry. Import charges and payment fees are set by the platform and third parties, so we are not able to waive them. However, you can check the total cost on the checkout page before confirming your order.
06 — After delivery
After-sales service
Do you offer after-sales service?
Yes. Within 7 days after you receive the package, if the products have quality defects or transit damage, please provide relevant photos and videos to us. We will check and offer a proper solution.
Please note that we cannot cover man-made damage, improper use or simple personal dislike.
07 — For players
About the tiles themselves
Can new players learn on these tiles?
Yes. Our tiles are designed for beginners and experienced players alike. If you already know how to play mahjong, the learning curve to get used to a new design is short and fun — you will be up to speed in no time.
For beginners, our minimal designs stay close to traditional tiles while simplifying the things that most often confuse a new player: the numbers on flowers, mistaking the bird bam for a flower, and adding more colour to the suits so they are easier to tell apart from across the table.
How are painted tiles finished?
Each tile is cut from a custom acrylic colour, then finished with a combination of machine and hand painting. Because a human hand is still involved, each set carries slight variations across tiles, which we consider part of the unique beauty of a finished set.
What is on the back of the tile?
The artwork is on the front face of the tile, representing the various suits. The back carries a plain finish or your own brand mark, depending on how the set is customised. The back colour varies by set.
How many blanks come with a set?
Each set comes with six blanks. Their primary purpose is to replace a lost tile, although some players choose to play with blanks in the game.
