HOW TO ORDER
Welcome to the Clarks Cycle Systems FOB Ordering Portal.
This is a new portal, for placing orders with our factories based in China. It replaces the spread sheet system and should make placing and managing your orders easier and more accurate. You will only be able to use this portal if you have a pre-approved account with us.
We manufacture our product out of a number of factories. Each factory has a minimum order value (MOV) of $4000 USD. If an order does not meet an individual Factory’s stated MOV it may be subject to a surcharge fee. So for example, If your order is for product that is manufactured out of 3 factories and only 2 factorys’ MOV’s are met, 2 surcharges will be levied to the final order value.
To help you avoid this scenario, and manage your orders with us efficiently, this document explains the features of the portal and how best to place an order to avoid surcharges.
