III. FAQs for Production

- Order Lead Time: we deliver normally within 60 days after the date on which the customer’s deposit is received;
- We have a stringent quality control system to guarantee product quality. All raw materials are inspected by dedicated QC staff upon receipt. Moreover, we use imported resin and paint for production to ensure product quality;
- We use special types of outdoor paint, which cost 2-3 times of common ones. The thinner for the paint also costs 2-3 times higher. The paint and thinner we use have all passed the EU’s ROHS and REACH tests as well as the US’s lead test;
- How do we control product quality? We believe that our high product quality results not only from the conscientious work of QC staffers, but also from the sense of quality of all workers. To this end, we have formulated a special incentive policy. Be it color-drawing worker or molding & casting worker, they all have a QC form on their work table. Every batch of good will be inspected and graded by QC staffers. If the products made by a worker are all of excellent quality, he or she will receive an additional 15% pay for the month; if the products made by a worker are all of good quality, he or she will receive an additional 10% pay for the month; however, if a product is graded as less than good, the worker’s quality bonus for the month will be canceled;

- In a bid to deliver high-quality products to our customers, we have never, since the establishment of this company, outsourced any order; and we have never employed temporary workers to rush orders;
- All our products are imprinted with HOTANT logo to prevent competitors from copying them.
IV. FAQs for Product Packaging
- We apply waterproof PVC barcodes on the product packaging, and we use high-quality outer cartons and inner boxes to protect our products, so as to make sure that our customers always receive intact products;
- For REAL LIFE series products, we often employ nude packaging and use minimum amount of poly foam to reduce packaging costs and the size of outer carton. In this way, we can help our customers reduce shipping costs and increase container quantities. To this end, we have also enhanced the strength of product body and selected high-quality outer cartons to prevent the product from being compromised by outside force. We also remind our customers that products with such packaging must be handled with care while unloading and delivering them.
- If the customer does not have special packaging requirements, our standard packages are as follows:
- For small-sized products, an item is wrapped with a bubble bag, put into a three-layer white inner box, and then packed into a five-layer outer carton;
- For REAL LIFE products, an item is wrapped with a transparent poly bag, and then packed into a reinforced five-layer outer carton without or with minimum poly foam.
V. FAQs for Sample Room
- All of our REAL LIFE products are with exclusivity in Britain; some are with exclusivity in France; some are with exclusivity in Eastern United States. Most of non-REAL LIFE products are with exclusivity in Britain. Other products are without exclusivity in all countries and regions.
- In principle, only customers of good business ties with us are allowed to photograph products displayed in the sample room; if a common customer wants to take photographs, they need prior consent from our senior management.
- Currently, our products consist of three major ranges: polyresin animal ornaments, planters, and metal ornaments.
