Before You Order: What to Decide First
A bulk order has more variables than a retail purchase. Getting these right before you contact a supplier saves time and avoids misunderstandings.
1. Which product? Be specific: “notebooks” is not enough. “B5 100-page center-stapled notebooks, single-line ruled” is an order specification.
2. How many? Think in cartons, not units. Ask the supplier what the carton quantity is for your product of interest.
3. What delivery address? City, district, and ideally a full address. Delivery costs vary by city and freight route.
4. Do you need custom printing? If yes, you need a logo file (PDF or AI preferred) and additional lead time (10–15 business days vs. 3–7 for standard products).
5. What is your budget? Knowing your target price per unit helps you decide whether to ask for a higher quantity to get better pricing.
Step 1: Contact the Manufacturer via WhatsApp
WhatsApp is the standard channel for B2B stationery ordering in Pakistan. It is faster than email, better for sharing files and photos, and easy to track.
What to include in your first message:

Step 2: Review the Quotation
When you receive a quotation, check these points before confirming:
| Point | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Product spec | Does it match exactly what you asked for? (size, pages, GSM, ruling) |
| Per-unit price | How does it compare to your target? |
| Carton quantity | How many pcs per carton? |
| Total cartons | Is the MOQ right for your needs? |
| Lead time | When will the order be ready? |
| Delivery cost | Is it included or separate? To your city? |
| Payment terms | How much advance? Bank details? |
| Sample availability | Can you get a sample first? |
If anything is unclear or missing, ask before paying. A legitimate manufacturer will answer all these questions directly.
Step 3: Request a Sample (For First-Time Orders)
If this is your first order with a supplier, request a physical sample of the product before committing to a bulk order.
What to check in the sample:
- Paper weight and feel — does it match the stated GSM?
- Ink bleed-through test — write on both sides with a ballpoint pen
- Ruling consistency — are lines straight and even?
- Binding strength — does the cover hold under normal use?
- Cover print quality — is the printing sharp and correctly aligned?
Hero Notes provides samples for standard products. Some charge a nominal fee (typically deducted from the first bulk order).
Step 4: Confirm the Order and Arrange Payment
Once you’re satisfied with the quotation and (optionally) the sample:
- Confirm your final quantity and specifications in writing (via WhatsApp is fine)
- Receive bank account details for the advance payment transfer
- Transfer the payment (typically 100% advance for new buyers; bank transfer is the standard method)
- Send the payment confirmation (bank transfer receipt or screenshot) to the supplier
For custom printing orders: also send your logo file (PDF or AI) at this stage for design proof preparation.
Step 5: Monitor Progress and Lead Time
After payment confirmation:
- Standard orders: Production and packing typically take 1–3 business days; dispatch follows within the lead time (3–7 business days total from order confirmation to delivery)
- Custom printing orders: Design proof sent first (1–2 days), then production (7–12 days), then dispatch (3–7 days delivery)
Keep your WhatsApp conversation active — most suppliers will update you when the order ships.
Step 6: Receive and Inspect the Delivery
When your bulk order arrives:
- Count the cartons — match against the order confirmation
- Inspect a sample from each carton — check quality is consistent
- Check for transit damage — report any damaged cartons immediately
- Keep the packing list from the shipment for your records
If there is any quality issue, contact the supplier immediately with photos. Document problems before opening all cartons.
Common Mistakes First-Time Bulk Buyers Make
Not specifying GSM: Leads to receiving a different paper weight than expected.
Ordering one carton to “test”: Usually not possible — most manufacturers have a 5-carton MOQ. Request a sample instead.
Skipping the sample: Fine for subsequent repeat orders; risky for the first order with a new supplier.
Ordering too close to peak season: Lead times extend in July–August. Order by June for back-to-school supply.
Not confirming delivery cost upfront: Freight from Lahore to Karachi for a large order can add meaningfully to your per-unit cost.
