FCDC Motor offers a prepaid sample ladder so dealers and importers can evaluate one in-stock or near-stock motorcycle with controlled cash risk, then step into small wholesale and container orders without treating the first inquiry as a blind container bet.
This FCDC guide explains how the sample → wholesale path works in practice: prepaid sample of 1–2 units, refund or credit when a qualifying bulk purchase order follows, a small wholesale band of about 5–10 units, then container scale. It is written for serious B2B buyers—not for marketplace-style low-price dumping.
Quick answer: what is the FCDC prepaid sample ladder?
Start with a prepaid sample of 1–2 units on a named ready or near-ready SKU. If you place a qualifying bulk purchase order afterward, FCDC Motor applies the written refund-or-credit rule for that sample fee. After the sample proves fit, move to a small wholesale trial of about 5–10 units, then plan a container only when demand, documents and service readiness are clear.
Why FCDC Motor uses prepaid sample instead of free samples
Free-sample requests create noise. Prepaid sample filters for buyers who intend to evaluate a real motorcycle, packing method and communication path. FCDC and FCDC Motor treat the prepaid sample as the first cash event on the wholesale ladder: not as a retail sale and not as a substitute for a dated bulk quotation.
The sample still needs destination, buyer role, exact model, intended use and document questions. Without those inputs, neither side can judge whether the SKU belongs in a later PO.
The ladder: 1–2 → 5–10 → container
| Quantity band | Buyer purpose | What FCDC Motor confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Sample 1–2 (prepaid) | Validate product fit, packing, communication and local handover risk before locking inventory cash. | Named SKU availability, sample quote, prepaid terms, destination notes and the written refund/credit rule for a later bulk PO. |
| Small wholesale ~5–10 | Test local demand with a focused mix after the sample passes evaluation. | Updated quantity quote, packing plan, spare-parts starter need and document checklist for the destination. |
| Container scale | Repeat wholesale, multi-dealer supply or proven importer volume. | Container loading assumptions, inspection timing, parts kit, Incoterm and lead-time window on a current PI. |
Exact unit counts for 20ft / 40ft loads depend on model mix and packing method. FCDC Motor confirms container capacity on the quotation for the chosen SKUs, so do not treat a social post or competitor listing as capacity proof.
Refund or credit when the bulk PO follows
Under the OPT-A prepaid ladder, the sample fee is not meant to be a permanent retail penalty for a buyer who continues into wholesale. When the buyer places a qualifying bulk purchase order for the evaluated path, FCDC Motor applies the written refund-or-credit rule stated on that sample quotation.
- Written rule first: refund or credit terms appear on the sample quote / PI language before prepaid payment.
- Qualifying bulk PO: the later order must match the sample commercial path (model family, destination intent and agreed wholesale band), not a random unrelated SKU dump.
- Anti-abuse: the ladder is for dealers, importers and serious sample evaluators. It is not a channel for repeated one-off retail shopping or marketplace-style price fishing.
FCDC does not publish a permanent public percentage on this page, because the operable rule belongs on the dated sample quotation. Ask for the current refund/credit wording when you request the sample quote.
What this ladder is not
FCDC Motor does not use this guide to compete as a Made-in-China / Alibaba low-USD dumping listing. The wedge is prepaid sample clarity, refund-on-bulk discipline and a visible quantity ladder for B2B buyers who need packing and documents, not a race to anonymous floor prices.
- No fake certificate claims and no invented street-legal promises for every destination.
- No frozen public retail or wholesale price table that pretends one number fits every market.
- No free-sample spam path that skips prepaid commitment and destination diligence.
Quote checklist for dealers and importers
Send FCDC Motor a short brief so the sample ladder can be priced honestly:
- Buyer role: sample evaluator, dealer, importer or OEM/ODM.
- Quantity band: sample 1–2, small wholesale ~5–10, or container intent.
- Destination country or port and intended use (off-road, dealer stock, fleet, etc.).
- Preferred model link or family, plus any spare-parts or branding notes.
- Whether you need the prepaid sample refund/credit rule stated on the quote.
FAQ
Can I start with one prepaid sample only?
Yes when the named SKU and destination path allow it. FCDC Motor uses prepaid sample 1–2 units as the first ladder step; larger quantities follow after evaluation.
Is the sample fee always refunded?
Refund or credit applies when a qualifying bulk PO follows, under the written rule on that sample quotation. Ask FCDC for the current wording before you pay the sample.
Do I have to jump from sample straight to a full container?
No. The FCDC ladder includes a small wholesale band of about 5–10 units so dealers and importers can prove demand before container scale.
Will FCDC Motor quote the lowest marketplace unit price?
No. This path is a brand wholesale ladder with packing and document support. FCDC Motor will not reposition the offer as MIC-style low-price dumping.
