Furniture Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) in Vietnam: Mixed Containers, Per-Model Quantities and Pricing
MOQ is one of the first commercial questions international furniture buyers ask, but a single number rarely tells the whole story. Furniture orders combine production economics with container utilization, product mix, materials, packaging volume and inventory risk.
Satori Furniture uses a mixed-model container approach designed for wholesale, retail, importer and furniture-brand customers building repeat programs from Vietnam.
What Is Satori Furniture’s Minimum Order?
Satori’s current commercial policy uses one 40-foot high-cube container as the minimum order, with mixed models accepted.
This means a buyer can build a container across multiple products rather than being required to fill the entire container with one model. The practical product mix still depends on dimensions, packaging, materials and manufacturing compatibility.
IsMinimum Order Quantity (MOQ) Calculated Per Container or Per Model?
The overall minimum is based on the container, while pricing is determined by the quantity ordered per model.
That distinction matters. A mixed container can reduce the inventory concentration created by ordering a large quantity of one product, but small quantities of an individual model still carry different production economics from a larger run of that same model.
How Satori’s Quantity Pricing Works
Satori’s current quantity-pricing structure is based on units per model:
- 1–3 units per model: Base FOB +50%
• 4–9 units per model: Base FOB +25%
• 10–24 units per model: Base FOB
• 25–49 units per model: Base FOB –5%
• 50+ units per model: Base FOB –10%
The purpose is to make the relationship between quantity and production economics transparent. Lower quantities are possible within a mixed container, but the unit price reflects the additional setup and manufacturing inefficiency associated with very small runs.
What Counts as the Same Model?
Quantity pricing assumes the same model and configuration. Material, finish, construction or other setup changes can affect whether units can be treated as one production quantity.
When a program includes multiple variations, Satori reviews the specifications before confirming how the quantity tiers apply.
Why Mixed Containers Matter for Buyers
Mixed-model containers can be particularly useful for buyers launching a collection, testing new products or managing inventory across several categories. Instead of concentrating purchasing capital in one SKU, a buyer can create a broader assortment while still shipping a full export container.
This flexibility is most useful when it is paired with a repeat-order plan. Initial quantities can establish market response, while successful models can move into higher-volume production tiers on subsequent orders.
MOQ Is Only One Part of the Commercial Decision
When comparing furniture manufacturers in Vietnam, buyers should look beyond the headline MOQ. Ask how pricing changes by model quantity, whether mixed containers are accepted, how product variations are treated, what packaging volume each product requires and how repeat orders are handled.
A low advertised MOQ is not necessarily commercially attractive if unit pricing, packaging or production setup makes the program inefficient.
Building a Repeat-Order Program
Satori’s commercial model is designed around recurring wholesale and private-label production rather than one-off purchases. Mixed containers provide flexibility at the beginning of a program; increasing quantities on proven products can then improve unit economics over time.
For an accurate quotation, send the products you are considering, expected quantity by model and any material, finish or packaging requirements. Satori can then review the proposed mix and provide FOB Vietnam pricing.
