Short answer: buying fans and heaters wholesale from China works best as a quotation-driven process rather than a catalogue checkout. You request a written quote per model and configuration, confirm minimum order quantities and lead time, order samples before committing to a bulk run, and prepare market-compliance documents early. Public selling prices across this catalogue are quoted in CNY per piece, with many stock models carrying a minimum as low as 1 piece and private-label packaging minimums reaching 1,000 pieces. The workflow below turns that into a repeatable purchasing routine for importers, distributors and retail buyers.
What the Catalogue Covers
The range spans six product families. Knowing which family fits your channel is the first step, because price level, weight and compliance paperwork differ sharply between a pocket fan and a patio heater.
| Category | Public price (CNY / piece) | Typical stock MOQ | Best-fit channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handheld fans | 20.16 – 43.56 | 1 – 3 pcs | Travel, impulse, gift, promo |
| Desk, clip & other fans | 16.80 – 64.90 | 1 pc | Home office, dorm, bundles |
| Evaporative air coolers | 75.82 – 1,462.80 | 1 pc (some 10 pcs) | Dry-heat regions, hospitality |
| Desktop heaters | 24.20 – 74.80 | 1 pc | Winter seasonal, supermarkets |
| Flame-effect heaters | 64.90 – 160.92 | 1 pc | Living-room retail, gifting |
| Outdoor / patio heaters | 280.80 – 486.00 | 1 pc | Hospitality, terrace supply |
All figures are public selling prices in CNY per piece and already include the supplier's markup; they are quoted per model and configuration, so a customized variant is confirmed separately. Exact runtimes, battery capacity and tank sizes are model-specific and provided on inquiry rather than assumed.
Step 1 — Shortlist by Channel, Not by Product
Start from the buyer you serve. A US discount chain wants a tight fan mix at aggressive price points; a Southeast Asian retailer wants USB and rechargeable models that work with ubiquitous power banks; a European or UK buyer weighs voltage, plug type and documentation heavily. Matching category to channel before you pick SKUs keeps the order coherent and the freight sensible.
Step 2 — Read Prices as Quotes, Not Tags
Each product page shows a low–high CNY range. The low end typically reflects a standard configuration at a larger quantity; the high end reflects a smaller quantity or a feature variant. Because prices are stated per model and per configuration in CNY, your written quotation is the binding figure — never treat the catalogue number as a fixed retail tag. Currency is CNY; if you budget in USD or EUR, agree the exchange basis with your supplier at quotation time.
Step 3 — Confirm MOQ and the Customization Tier
Minimums are two different numbers depending on whether you take a stock model or brand it. Stock SKUs often start at 1 piece, which supports trial orders and replenishment. Customization adds tiers:
| Tier | What changes | Typical minimum add-on |
|---|---|---|
| Logo only | Brand print or engraving on a standard product | from 40 pcs (model-dependent) |
| Colors | Custom housing color on a proven model | low to medium |
| Full packaging | Custom box, manual, inserts | from 1,000 pcs |
Customization depth moves minimums far more than the power source does, so state your branding brief early to get a realistic minimum.
Step 4 — Plan Market Compliance Up Front
Two product types carry extra paperwork that is easiest to request at inquiry, not after production:
- Rechargeable fans contain lithium cells. Air shipment of lithium batteries is regulated; the shipper is responsible for preparation, labeling and declaration under the IATA lithium-battery shipping guidance. We do not claim any specific model already holds a battery certification — confirm the applicable transport classification for your shipment.
- Electric heaters and mains-powered fans placed on the EU market fall under the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU); for Great Britain the UKCA regime applies alongside recognized CE marking. Whether a given model meets these is confirmed per target market — do not assume a certificate ships with the unit.
Step 5 — Samples, Bulk and Inspection
Order samples of the exact models and configurations you plan to sell, including your packaging if branding is part of the program. Once samples are approved, place the bulk order against a written quotation that captures price, MOQ, lead time and Incoterms. Schedule a pre-shipment inspection or request production photos at key stages. The discipline starts here, with samples that match the bulk specification.
Ordering Checklist
- Define the channel and destination market before shortlisting SKUs
- Request a written CNY quotation per model and configuration; confirm the exchange basis
- Confirm stock MOQ versus your branding-tier minimum (logo, color, full packaging)
- For rechargeable models, ask how lithium-battery transport is handled for your freight route
- For mains heaters and fans, request market-specific compliance documents at inquiry
- Order samples first; approve them before the bulk run
- Agree lead time and Incoterms in writing, with buffer for seasonal peaks

Guide FAQ
Are the prices on the site final retail prices?
No. They are public selling prices in CNY per piece, already marked up, and quoted per model and configuration. Your written quotation confirms the binding figure for your quantity and customization.
What is the smallest order I can place?
Many stock models carry a minimum of 1 piece, which supports sampling and replenishment. Branded packaging programs rise to around 1,000 pieces; logo-only often starts much lower. Confirm per model.
Do rechargeable fans need special shipping?
They contain lithium cells, and air transport is regulated under IATA rules. The shipper handles preparation, labeling and declaration; confirm the transport classification for your route rather than assuming it.
Will my heaters arrive with EU or UK certification?
We do not assume any model already holds a specific certificate. Market-specific compliance documents are requested per destination, for example EU LVD / CE or GB UKCA; raise this at inquiry.
How do I start an order?
Shortlist models by channel, request a written CNY quotation, order samples, then place the bulk order against that quotation with agreed lead time and Incoterms.
