02 · The catch

The spec quietly changes. Rabata catches it.

Mid-negotiation, the supplier confirms 500 fill power — not the 600 you agreed. One number, buried in 中文, worth real margin. Rabata checks every message against the live spec and flags it instantly — then flags the 'pay by Western Union' move too. Translation is built in. The catching is the point.

Hey, I'm looking to source a puffer jacket for my streetwear brand — launching a winter collection. Do you guys make puffers? Looking for something premium, not the cheap polyester stuff.
你好！我们做的，puffer jacket是我们主要产品之一。高端款我们用真鸭绒或者白鹅绒填充，面料也有很多选择。你们要down jacket还是synthetic fill？

translatedHello! Puffer jackets are one of our main products. For high-end models, we use real duck down or white goose down filling, and there are also many fabric options. Do you want down jackets or synthetic fill?

Real down for sure — I want 600 fill power down. The silhouette is a longer puffer, like mid-thigh length, oversized fit. Shell fabric should be a matte nylon ripstop. This is for a premium drop so quality really matters.
没问题，600蓬松度鸭绒我们可以做，matte nylon ripstop面料也有现货。mid-thigh length oversized这个版型我们做过很多，我发你几个款式的图片参考一下。

translatedNo problem, we can do 600 fill power duck down, and we also have matte nylon ripstop fabric in stock. We have made many of this mid-thigh length oversized fit, and I will send you some pictures of the styles for reference.

Great! The pics look good. Couple questions — what's your MOQ? I'm thinking 2 colorways: black and olive. So like, is your MOQ 200 pieces total across both colors?
是的，200件。两个颜色都可以做，black和olive都是常规色，不需要额外开模。你们size range怎么打算的？

translatedYes, 200 pieces. Both colors can be made; black and olive are standard colors, so no extra mold is required. What are your plans for the size range?

Probably S/M/L/XL/XXL. Can you do unisex sizing? And what price range are we looking at for something like this?
[语音消息 0:44] 价格的话，这个款式比较complex，200件的话大概$38–$42/pc，具体看你们的设计细节。Unisex版型没问题，我们有现成的tech pack可以参考修改。你有自己的设计稿吗？

translated[Voice Message 0:44] As for the price, this style is quite complex. For 200 pieces, it would be around $38–$42/pc, depending on your specific design details. Unisex fit is no problem, we have an existing tech pack that can be referenced and modified. Do you have your own design sketches?

I have some rough sketches and reference pics, not a full tech pack. Is that okay? Also — can you do custom lining? I'm thinking a printed satin lining inside with our brand pattern.
粗略的参考图没问题，我们有打版师可以帮你出tech pack，收费$150，大货下单可以抵扣。Custom lining可以做，印花里布的话需要额外开版，成本大概加$2–$3/pc。 对了，跟你确认一下规格：填充物是500蓬松度鸭绒，面料matte nylon ripstop，mid-thigh length oversized fit，black + olive两色，对吗？

translatedRough reference photos are fine. We have a pattern maker who can help you create the tech pack for a fee of $150, which can be deducted when you place the bulk order. Custom lining is doable. For printed lining, it requires an extra plate setup, which adds about $2–$3/pc to the cost. By the way, just to confirm the specs with you: the filling is 500 fill power duck down, fabric is matte nylon ripstop, mid-thigh length oversized fit, in two colors: black + olive, is that correct?

Mismatch caught — fill power

You asked for 600 fill power. Huang Outerwear Mfg. Co., Ltd. just confirmed 500 (500蓬松度).

500 fill power means less loft and warmth — and lower cost — than the 600 you specified. Make sure that still fits your price point.

Yes that all sounds right! The tech pack fee is fine, happy to pay that. Can we talk about sampling? I want to see a physical sample before I commit to the full order.
好的，样品费$180/件，courier费用另算。做样品之前需要确认tech pack，大概2周出样。 另外跟你说一下——大货的话，黑色200件、olive 200件，两个颜色分开计算MOQ的，这样你方便安排budget吗？

translatedSure, the sample fee is $180/pc, and the courier fee is extra. We need to confirm the tech pack before making the samples, and it will take about 2 weeks to finish them. Also, just to let you know—for bulk production, it is 200 pcs for black and 200 pcs for olive, and the MOQ is calculated separately for each color. Will this be convenient for you to arrange your budget?

Yeah that works for me, happy to do 200 in each color actually — gives me more inventory. What are payment terms? And do you ship FOB or can you do DDP to the US?
Payment是T/T，30% deposit，70% balance出货前。FOB我们标准的，DDP可以安排但要加forwarder费用，大概$3–$5/pc额外，我们有合作的freight forwarder可以介绍。Lead time大货的话45–50天，从tech pack确认开始算。

translatedPayment is T/T, 30% deposit, 70% balance before shipment. FOB is our standard, DDP can be arranged but will incur additional forwarder fees, about $3–$5/pc extra. We have cooperative freight forwarders we can introduce. Lead time for bulk production is 45–50 days, starting from tech pack confirmation.

That timeline works. Let me put together my reference images and I'll send them over. I'm excited about this one — it's a key piece for the collection.
好的，期待你的资料！这款做好了会很不错的，街头风格puffer现在市场很火。有资料就发过来，我们尽快给你报详细价格。

translatedGreat, looking forward to your information! This style will turn out really well once it's made; streetwear style puffers are very hot in the market right now. Send over the details as soon as you have them, and we will provide you with a detailed quote as soon as possible.

对了，余款这次我们走 Western Union 吧，你直接打到我个人账户，能省掉平台手续费。

translatedBy the way, let's use Western Union for the remaining balance this time. You can transfer it directly to my personal account to save on platform transaction fees.
