Account tiers
A tier changes your terms, not the published price
The quantity-break ladder on the catalogue is the same for everyone. A tier decides where the desk starts that ladder, how long stock is held, and whether settlement terms are written for you.

Questions buyers ask
Before you open an account
- Do I need a tax number?
- Not to buy, but a tax number is required for credit terms and lets us invoice you directly.
- Can I mix all three channels in one order?
- Yes. Build one basket across channels; we split fulfilment and reconcile it on a single invoice.
- What are the minimums?
- Five pieces on UK stock, flexible on China Direct, and 200 pieces on bulk pre-order.
- How can I pay?
- Bank transfer, card, WeChat Pay, Alipay, or cash at any CNLine desk, London, Shenzhen, Yiwu or Hong Kong. Credit terms are available once your account is approved.
