Pricing

One price. Everything included.

No platform fee. No software subscription. No coordination charge added on top of your factory cost. You pay for production — one unit cost, nothing else. Factory matching, QA oversight, and logistics coordination are built into that price, not itemized separately afterward. What you see is what you get.

BETTER COORDINATION

We replace a cost that’s already in your quote

No added layer. No added cost. A standard factory quote already includes the cost of the factory’s own coordination team — the project managers and admin staff who track your order through production. We have the factory focus on what it does best: manufacturing. We replace their coordination layer with our own, leaner operation. Because ours costs less to run, that saving passes straight to your unit price — and it still covers factory matching, onsite QA, and freight management. No hidden markup. No separate fee. A leaner way to run production.

COST COVERAGE

WHAT YOUR PRODUCTION QUOTE COVERS

Factory identification and matching; spec and RFQ review; onsite quality inspections (mid-production and pre-shipment); freight coordination and customs documentation; reorder support once your factory relationship is established. Samples and iteration rounds are priced separately (link to sampling).

Everything Calculated

Production cost vs. landed cost — we show you both

Most factories quote a production price only — materials, labour, manufacturing — and leave freight, customs, and duties for the brand to calculate. We quote both: your production cost, and your full landed DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) cost, calculated before you commit to anything.

The Details

Everything else you need to know

Samples

Priced separately from production, billed before any sample is made. Each revision round is a separate cost. Sample fees are typically credited toward the bulk order upon placement.

Payment Terms

Most orders require a deposit upfront with the balance due before shipment; terms vary by product, factory, and order profile. Financing partners available for brands where payment flexibility matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

LEt Us Answer all your questions

Is there a platform fee or subscription cost?

No. Cavela doesn't charge a platform fee, software fee, or subscription. You pay for production — the same way you'd pay any factory — and our coordination is built into the unit cost, not added on top.

Am I paying factory prices or marked-up prices?

One all-in production price — no separate added fees. What you see is what you get, the same as working with any factory directly.

What's the difference between a production cost and a landed cost?

Your production cost is the factory price: materials, labour, and manufacturing. Your landed DDP cost adds freight, customs clearance, and duties — everything it takes to get finished goods to your warehouse. We show you both upfront, before you commit to anything.

How are freight and duties handled?

Freight, customs, duties, and clearance are all coordinated by us. We quote both your production cost and your full landed DDP cost — so you're approving a real delivered number before committing. Sea and air options are outlined so you can weigh cost against lead time.

How does payment work? Is there a deposit?

Most orders require a deposit upfront with the balance due before shipment. Terms vary by product, factory, and order history. For brands with an established track record, other arrangements can be discussed. We also work with financing partners if payment flexibility is a consideration.

How does Cavela make money if there's no separate fee?

A factory's quote already includes the cost of their own coordination team — the project managers and admin staff who run your order. We have the factory focus on production and replace that layer with our own, leaner operation. The saving from removing their admin cost covers ours, which is why brands typically pay the same or less than going factory-direct, not more.

What's included in a production quote?

Your production quote covers the manufactured product, onsite quality inspections at multiple production stages, and coordination through to shipment. Samples and iteration rounds are priced separately.

How does sample pricing work?

Samples are priced separately from production and billed before any sample is made. Each revision round is also a separate cost. Sample fees are typically credited toward your bulk order upon placement.

What are the minimum order quantities?

MOQs vary by factory and product type, typically ranging from 500–2,000 units. Because of our existing factory relationships, we can often negotiate lower entry quantities for first orders than a brand approaching a factory cold.
