It offers a premium matte finish and a "heavy" luxury feel that increases the perceived value of the timepiece.
6. What makes your Guidi Nylon and Canvas straps different from market-grade alternatives?
We source high-density weaves for our Guidi Nylon and Canvas lines to prevent fraying and edge-wear. Our tactical-grade nylon undergoes heat-sealing at the holes and edges, ensuring the strap maintains its structural integrity even under heavy daily use.
7. How do you ensure the quality of your Stainless Steel bracelets?
Our stainless steel bracelets are crafted from 316L surgical-grade steel. We utilize CNC machining and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating to ensure that gold, rose gold, and black finishes are scratch-resistant and will not fade or peel in saline environments.
8. Are your materials compliant with EU and US environmental regulations?
Yes. All CONKLY products are manufactured to meet REACH and RoHS standards. We strictly monitor our supply chain to ensure our leather is free from harmful chrome and our polymers are non-toxic and hypoallergenic for global retail.
9. What are your Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) per material type?
We offer a flexible, tiered MOQ structure to support both scaling brands and large distributors:
Nylon/Velcro: 50–100 pcs

12. How does CONKLY manage global shipping and logistics?
We provide flexible Incoterms, including EXW, FOB, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). We have long-standing partnerships with international couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS) and sea-freight agents to ensure seamless delivery to the USA, Europe, Australia, and East Asia.
13. What is your policy on defect rates and Quality Assurance?
We maintain a rigorous multi-stage QC process: raw material inspection, mid-production check, and 100% final inspection before packaging. Our target defect rate is <0.5%. In the rare event of a manufacturing defect, we provide a structured replacement or credit policy.
14. Can you assist with custom retail packaging?
Yes. For wholesalers and retailers, we offer "shelf-ready" solutions. This includes custom-printed boxes, eco-friendly FSC paper sleeves, or branded velvet pouches designed to match your brand's visual identity.
15. What are your standard payment terms for international wholesale?
Our typical B2B terms are a 30%–50% deposit to initiate production, with the remaining balance due upon completion and inspection before shipment. We accept major international payment methods, including Wire Transfer (T/T) and specialized B2B payment platforms.
