Is sample kitting the same as full fulfillment?

No. It is sample-level preparation for review, seeding, pilot testing, or buyer meetings. Full fulfillment, long-term inventory management, and overseas return handling are separate operations.

Q: What is sample kitting in China?

Sample kitting means preparing small review kits, KOL seeding kits, buyer packs, or pilot sample sets from multiple Chinese supplier components before wider launch or fulfillment.

Before full fulfillment, a brand may only need a small number of clean sample kits for review, buyer meetings, KOL seeding, or pilot testing.

What sample kitting means

Multiple Chinese suppliers send components, samples, cards, boxes, or accessories to one China-side desk. The items are checked, organized, repacked, documented, and prepared as a small review kit.
