7. FAQ
Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale hex bolts?
Our standard MOQ is 500 kg per size and grade. However, we offer flexible terms for first-time buyers and long-term contracts. Contact our sales team for tailored MOQ solutions.
Q2: Do you provide material certificates with each shipment?
Yes. Every shipment of wholesale hex bolts includes a mill test certificate (MTC) and a certificate of conformance (COC). Third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or TÜV is available at an additional cost.
Q3: Can you produce hex bolts with a custom thread length?
Absolutely. We offer partial thread (DIN 931) and full thread (DIN 933) configurations. Custom thread lengths can be manufactured with a lead time of 15–20 working days for wholesale orders.
Q4: What is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
For standard sizes and grades, lead time is 10–15 working days. For specialized coatings or non-standard dimensions, lead time is 20–30 working days. Express production (7 days) is available for urgent orders.
Q5: How do you ensure the bolts are free from defects?
We employ a multi-stage quality control process: incoming raw material inspection, in-process forging monitoring, 100% visual inspection after heat treatment, and final random sampling per ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 standards.
Q6: Do you offer private labeling or custom packaging?
Yes. We provide OEM services including custom laser marking on the bolt head, branded polybags, barcode labels, and export-ready pallet packaging. Please specify your requirements in the RFQ.
Q7: What is the best coating for outdoor or marine environments?
For high-corrosion environments, we recommend hot-dip galvanized (HDG) or Dacromet-coated wholesale hex bolts. For extreme marine applications, stainless steel grade A2-70 or A4-80 is preferred.
