Wholesale Costumes — Dress-Up by the Carton
Two peaks a year, and a shelf that empties in five days.
Open prices per unit and per carton. No registration, no sales rep, minimum order total 2,000 CNY (≈ $313), no company required — you can buy as an individual. Both prices — per unit and per carton — are open before you order.
Children’s dress-up and party costumes: princess and fairy dresses, capes, wings, hats, masks and costume accessories. Prices are published per piece, the minimum is one factory carton per model, order total from 2,000 CNY. We do not produce or promote licensed characters — that is someone else’s trademark and your risk, not ours to sell you.
Costume is the most seasonal thing in a toy shop and the least forgiving. The category has two peaks — Halloween and the carnival season — and in both of them the real selling happens in the last five days.
Which means the whole business of this category is arithmetic done months earlier: what is on the shelf when the week arrives is what you will sell, and nothing can be added after that.
The hard line
Whose Character Can Go on It
Yours, or nobody’s. We do not make licensed characters and we do not put them in our feeds or our advertising. This is not caution about lawyers: a shipment stopped at a border for a trademark is a total loss, and it is your loss, not the factory’s.
What sells without a licence is the generic archetype — princess, pirate, witch, superhero silhouette, animal. It has always been most of the category anyway.
Counting backwards
Order in Spring for October
For a Halloween shelf, count back from 31 October: production 15–30 days, up to 45 in peak; consolidation and acceptance 3–5 days; sea 18–40 days to the United States and 22–38 to Europe. Sea has to leave China in the first half of August, and that assumes the order was placed weeks earlier.
For the carnival season the same arithmetic lands the order in the autumn. And Chinese New Year falls on 6 February 2027, with about six weeks of disrupted output around it — which sits exactly on top of the carnival lead time.
The companion category is on our Halloween supplier page: decorations and prizes are bought by the same shop in the same week.
What it costs
Where the Price Sits
The median price in our costume range is ¥4.50 a piece — among the cheapest categories we carry, below arts and crafts and well below plush. Costume is bought deep and sold fast, and the price band is what makes that possible.
How it works
One Carton per Model
Pick models in the catalogue, we buy from the factories, consolidate and check the batch in China before it travels. Minimum order total 2,000 CNY (≈ $313); we do not break cartons. Transit ranges are published for 62 destinations.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make licensed characters?
No. We do not produce or promote licensed characters and they do not go into our feeds or advertising. A shipment stopped at a border for a trademark is a total loss, and it is the buyer’s loss, not the factory’s.
When should costumes be ordered for Halloween?
Counting back from 31 October: production 15–30 days, consolidation 3–5, then sea 18–40 days to the United States or 22–38 to Europe. Sea has to leave China in the first half of August.
What is the minimum order?
One factory carton of one model. The minimum order total is 2,000 CNY (≈ $313), so twenty models at one carton each is a valid order. We do not break cartons or ship single pieces — opening a carton turns the remainder into dead stock and destroys the factory packaging.
How long does delivery take?
Production to order runs 15–30 days, up to 45 in peak season, then 3–5 days for consolidation and acceptance inspection in China. Freight after that depends on the lane: air 1–15 days, rail 12–25 where a rail link exists, sea 2–45. Ranges for the 62 destinations are published on the shipping page.
Do you provide certificates?
When the factory supplied them. Across the catalogue 44,336 items carry at least one test certificate on file from the factory — REACH on 33,088, EN71 on 36,137, CPSIA on 25,955, ASTM F963 on 24,034. If an item shows nothing, nothing was supplied, and we would rather show an empty field than a borrowed document from a similar product.
