What is the MOQ for VUELUXE mirrors?
There is no hard per-model minimum order quantity (MOQ) for established VUELUXE trade accounts. First-time orders typically start at 5–10 units as a practical minimum to justify the freight and administrative cost of a wholesale transaction. Container-level orders (80–120 units, typically filling a 20-foot container) qualify for the best pricing tier. For project-specific orders — for example, 23 mirrors for a single residential development — the quantity is the project quantity. There is no requirement to round up to a minimum that exceeds the actual project need.
Why there is no hard MOQ
VUELUXE’s primary buyers are volume builders, developers, and bathroom suppliers who place repeat orders. The commercial relationship — not the individual order quantity — determines the terms. A builder who places 8 orders per year totalling 200 units is a more valuable account than one who places a single 50-unit order. MOQ requirements that penalise smaller per-order quantities work against trade account relationships.
The practical floor for a trade order is driven by freight economics rather than a policy MOQ. Ordering 2 mirrors incurs the same freight administration cost as ordering 20, but the freight cost per unit is significantly higher. VUELUXE account managers will advise on the most efficient order size for your volume and delivery frequency — not to impose a minimum, but to ensure the economics of the order are practical for both parties.
Pricing tiers by volume
VUELUXE pricing is tiered by order volume. The broad structure is: small orders (5–25 units) are priced at the standard trade rate. Medium orders (25–80 units) are eligible for a mid-tier discount — typically 5–10% off the standard trade rate depending on model mix. Container-level orders (80+ units) access the best pricing tier — container pricing reflects the efficiency of bulk production scheduling and dedicated freight. Custom orders at container level may include additional design and specification options not available at smaller quantities.
Pricing is not published — it is provided per inquiry within 24 hours for trade account holders. For projects with defined quantities, submit the specification list (model, size, finish, CCT, quantity per model) and receive a line-item quote. For ongoing supply relationships, discuss a tiered pricing arrangement based on annual volume rather than per-order quantities.
Project orders versus stock orders
Project orders are for a specific development — a defined number of mirrors for a defined project. The quantity is the project quantity. VUELUXE can hold the stock against a project order, releasing it in stages as each construction phase reaches installation milestone. This is practical for volume builders who have several projects at different stages simultaneously.
Stock orders are for replenishment of a showroom, bathroom supply business, or builder’s standard specification. These orders are typically placed against a volume target — for example, ordering 3 months of stock at a time to maintain showroom inventory. For stock orders, discuss a forward supply arrangement with your account manager — VUELUXE can reserve allocation of popular models for regular buyers.
First-time order process
For a first-time order from a new trade account, the practical minimum of 5–10 units allows VUELUXE to confirm the account details, process the order efficiently, and ensure the freight is handled by a specialist glass carrier. A first-time order of 1–2 units is handled case by case — speak to the account manager. The primary consideration for small first-time orders is whether the freight cost is practical for the buyer; VUELUXE will be transparent about the freight cost per unit at small quantities.
New trade accounts can be opened at /trade/ — ABN required, activated within 24 hours. Once the account is active, the first order can be submitted. VUELUXE does not require a minimum spend commitment to open or maintain a trade account.
MOQ for custom and special orders
Custom orders — non-standard finish, non-standard CCT preset, non-standard size — have effective MOQs driven by factory production economics rather than VUELUXE policy. Non-standard frame finishes typically require a minimum of 30–50 units per finish (the factory minimum for a custom finish run). Non-standard sizes typically require 20–40 units minimum depending on the degree of departure from standard dimensions. White-label packaging has its own MOQ — typically 50 units minimum for custom carton printing.
For container-level orders (80+ units), custom options are available across all product parameters — finish, size, CCT preset, and packaging. At container level, the factory can accommodate custom specifications without per-option minimums, because the total volume justifies the production set-up cost.
