500 ml USB
$5.50 to $6.50 MOQ 40 · 1200 mAh · Guangdong
The easy houseplant bottle. Same body family as 1.5 L and 2 L. Trial: 20 pcs, $130.
China origin, factory list prices, landed into Male. USB lithium sprayers that are one button. SK5 shears that survive salt air. Complete grow towers, not a kilometre of pipe. Photographs are the factories' own listing shots.
BML still rations dollars by ticket size. Under $2,500 gets the best support. A single $2,614 wire is the wrong shape. Split is honest because the goods come from three factories: Yongkang / Taizhou sprayers, Yangjiang SK5 shears, Jiangsu / Guangdong towers.
Male Ports treats several bills of lading to one consignee as a full box. This trial is about 2 CBM. It must ride a co-loader LCL, not its own 20 ft.
All USB or small lithium. One button, no pumping. 3 L is the extra size to ask the 2 L factory for. Skip 16 to 20 L unless we have farm labour.
