Buyer FAQ

Common questions before opening a catalog.

These answers help buyers understand how to browse, ask, and confirm current information.

How do I get the latest catalogue?

Open a category page, use the catalogue button, and contact GunongTrade on WhatsApp to confirm current availability. Live albums are updated more frequently than the website, so WhatsApp is the fastest way to check what can be sourced today.

Can I ask about a specific style?

Yes. Send screenshots, category names, or item details through WhatsApp so availability and alternatives can be checked. The more specific your reference — including colour, hardware preference, and size — the faster we can give you an accurate answer.

Does the website show every product?

No. The website is an organised entry point with category navigation and buying guides. The live catalogue contains many more styles and is updated in real time. Use the website to understand what to look for, then confirm current stock through WhatsApp.

Who runs gunongtrade.com?

GunongTrade is the trading name used for catalogue and inquiry work by GuNong International Trade Co., Ltd. The site is an independent catalogue and inquiry service: it is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the brands whose styles appear in the albums, and trademarks belong to their owners. What the site does, which buyers it works with, and what it deliberately leaves out — prices, accounts, and availability promises on a static page — are set out in one place.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Minimum quantities vary by category and style. Some items can be checked as single samples, while others require a minimum batch. Tell us your target quantity and destination during the WhatsApp conversation, and we will confirm what is possible for that specific reference.

What information should I prepare before messaging?

Prepare the category, style screenshots or catalogue links, desired quantity, destination country, and any size or colour requirements. Including your quality expectations — stitching detail, lining material, hardware finish — helps us match you with the right option faster.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping time depends on the destination country, selected logistics method, and customs processing. Standard shipping typically ranges from 7 to 21 business days. Express options are available for most destinations. Exact timelines are confirmed per order during the WhatsApp conversation.

What payment methods are accepted?

Accepted payment methods are discussed during the WhatsApp conversation and depend on the order value, destination, and your preference. Common methods include bank transfer and selected online payment options. We do not process payments directly on this website.

Can I order a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. Sample orders are the recommended way to verify craftsmanship, materials, and finishing before committing to a larger quantity. Send the reference through WhatsApp and specify that you would like a sample piece, including the destination country for accurate sample shipping costs.

What if the product does not match the catalogue images?

Catalogue images represent the current production batch. Minor variations in colour tone, stitching pattern, or hardware finish can occur between batches. If you receive an item that differs significantly from what was confirmed, contact us on WhatsApp with photos of the received item so we can address the issue.

Can I return or exchange an order?

Yes, when the piece you received differs from what was confirmed in your WhatsApp thread, when the parcel arrived damaged, or when something from the confirmed order was missing. Raise it in the same thread and send photos plus an unboxing video if you filmed one. Nothing should be sent back before the return has been agreed in writing, and who carries the return shipping cost is settled at that point.

Which information does gunongtrade.com store?

The website records technical information such as page views, catalogue and WhatsApp click events, the language version, an approximate country from the serving network, and aggregated analytics. Your name, address, and phone number stay in the WhatsApp conversation you started. Measurement and security cookies are used; there are no advertising pixels.

How do I track my order?

Once your order is dispatched, the parcel is carried by the courier for your route and their scans are the tracking record. The dispatch reference is sent to you in the same WhatsApp thread, and status updates are written there by hand as the carrier's record changes: handover, a new scan, arrival in your country, and delivery. You can also look the waybill reference up in the carrier's own tracker; a thread update reads the same record for you in plain language.

What is the full order process?

Six steps in one WhatsApp thread. You send a reference and we check what can be offered now; style, size, colour, and the details you care about are confirmed; the piece is prepared and compared with that agreed list; photographs of that specific piece are sent to you, with a short clip when a detail is easier to judge in motion; the parcel is packed only after you confirm it; dispatch reference and tracking continue in the same thread.

How are measurements confirmed?

Two numbers matter: the brand reference and the measurement of the piece itself. A Nano Speedy is published at 16 x 10 x 7.5 cm, while a Speedy Bandoulière 25 is 25 x 19 x 15 cm — similar names, very different daily capacity. Album entries are sometimes measured flat, so ask for a tape-measure photo across the width, height, depth, and strap drop if that centimetre decides whether the item suits you.

Which languages and channels can I use?

WhatsApp conversations are handled in English, Arabic, and Russian, and the website has Arabic and Russian sections for the catalog entry points and the bags catalog, plus guides in each language where they exist. Telegram channels carry catalog updates for buyers who prefer to follow a feed. Whichever channel you start in, keep the conversation in one thread so the reference, photos, and destination stay together.

What is checked before an order is prepared?

The reference, colour, size, hardware finish, lining, and packaging are checked against what was agreed in the conversation. If you asked for photos of the specific piece, those are shared before anything is packed so you can compare stitching, hardware tone, and packaging against the reference. Anything you want verified has to be stated before preparation, not after.

The website photo and the album photo look different. Which is current?

The album is the live source. Website images are curated references that help you recognise a style, compare shapes, and prepare a clear question; production batches, seasonal colour names, and hardware tones move faster than any static page. When the two disagree, send both images in the same WhatsApp message and ask which one can be checked now.

Where should I start reading the guides?

Use the knowledge hub when you are not sure which guide applies to you: it groups every buyer guide by the question it answers, so bag sizes and model comparisons sit together, then shoe, belt and outerwear fit, materials and construction, choosing and inspecting, and the sourcing playbooks per category. Each entry links straight to the full guide, and the intro explains which group to read first for a given decision.
