Wholesale & Bulk Air Fryer Supplier in China
Guilin Use at Home Technology Co., LTD is a wholesale and bulk air fryer supplier and factory in China, shipping air fryers in container volume direct from its own plant in Guilin, Guangxi. Trading as Air Fryers China, the company sells factory-direct to importers, distributors, wholesalers, and retail buyers worldwide at tiered, volume-based pricing.
Buying air fryers in bulk is a pricing and logistics decision before it is a product decision. This page covers the commercial side of a wholesale program: minimum order quantities, volume price breaks, how many units fit a 20ft or 40HQ container, lead times at scale, payment terms, FOB / EXW / CIF logistics, sea-freight reorder cadence, and why sourcing factory-direct beats going through a trading company. The catalog spans 3.2L compact units up to 10L family and light-commercial sizes, all on dual-voltage 110-127V / 220-240V boards, so one supplier can fill an entire price ladder.

MOQ Tiers: From a First Trial Order to Container Volume
Minimum order quantity is the first number every wholesale buyer asks about, because it sets the entry cost of testing a model in market. We keep the entry point low so a buyer can validate a SKU before committing to repeat container volume.
- MOQ from 100 units per model — the floor for an OEM or stock order, enough to trial a model on a marketplace or in a few stores without tying up capital.
- Mid-tier orders (roughly 500–1,000 units) — the practical sweet spot for most distributors, where per-unit cost drops meaningfully and you still keep inventory risk contained.
- Container-load orders (full 20ft or 40HQ) — the best landed cost per unit, because freight, handling, and customs are spread across the largest possible quantity.
MOQ is set per model, not per total order, so a buyer can combine several models in one shipment as long as each line meets its minimum. That lets a distributor launch a small range — say a 4L, a 6L, and an 8L — in a single container rather than running three separate import cycles. As volume grows from a 100-unit trial toward repeat container loads, both the unit price and the freight cost per unit move in the buyer’s favor.
Volume Pricing and Tiered Price Breaks
Wholesale pricing on air fryers is tiered: the more you order, the lower the per-unit cost. Because we are the factory, the price you pay is the production price plus margin — there is no trading-company markup layered on top, which is usually where 10–20% of a buyer’s landed cost quietly disappears.
Several factors move a quote up or down the price ladder:
- Order quantity — the single biggest lever. Price breaks step down as you move from MOQ to mid-tier to full-container volume.
- Model and capacity — a 3.2L Round Mini Air Fryer with mechanical control sits at a very different price point than an 8L 8-in-1 Stainless Steel Air Fryer with a digital touch screen. A wide range lets you build a good / better / best ladder around your target shelf prices.
- Control type — mechanical dual-knob units cost less to build than digital touch or LCD models, so a value-tier SKU can hit a lower price than a premium one off similar tooling.
- Packaging and customization — plain master-carton stock pricing differs from retail-ready private-label packaging.
- Reorder history — established, repeating accounts ordering on a predictable cadence are easier to plan and price than one-off spot buys.
We quote per model and per quantity so you see exactly where each price break lands. Rather than publish fixed discounts that ignore your real order shape, we build a tiered quote against your actual model mix and target volume.
Container-Load Economics: Units per 20ft and 40HQ
For bulk buyers, the cost that matters is landed cost per unit, and ocean freight is a large part of that. How many air fryers fit in a container depends heavily on capacity and carton size, so size selection is also a freight decision.
As a rough planning guide, smaller compact units pack far denser than large 8L–10L ovens:
- Compact 3.2L–4L units — such as the 3.2L Round Mini Air Fryer or the 4L models — have the smallest carton footprint, so the largest number of units fit per container and freight per unit is lowest.
- Mid-size 5.5L–7L units — a balanced choice where carton volume is moderate and the retail price supports the freight share comfortably.
- Large 8L–10L units — the 10L Square Digital Air Fryer and similar take the most cubic space per unit, so fewer fit per container; the higher shelf price absorbs the larger freight allocation.
A 40HQ (high-cube) container holds substantially more than a standard 20ft, which is why most established programs reorder by the 40HQ once a model proves out. We provide exact carton dimensions, units per carton, gross weight, and a confirmed loading quantity per 20ft and 40HQ for every model on a quote, so you can calculate true landed cost and sea-freight per unit before you commit. Mixing a few models in one container is fully supported, which is the most freight-efficient way to launch a small range.
Lead Times at Volume and Production Capacity
Lead time at wholesale scale is a planning input, not a guess. Our standard production lead time is 15–30 days after the order, sample, and any artwork are confirmed. Where an order lands in that window depends on volume, customization, and current factory loading.
- Stock or near-stock models in standard packaging ship at the fast end of the window.
- Private-label and custom-packaging orders need artwork sign-off first, then run toward the middle of the window.
- Large multi-container orders are scheduled across production runs; we confirm a firm ship date once the specification and quantity are locked.
The factory is built for volume, with monthly capacity above 100,000 units, so a 100-unit trial and a repeat 40HQ container draw on the same line without forcing buyers onto unfamiliar substitute parts. Building in-house rather than reselling other factories’ stock means we hold a stable bill of materials across reorders, so the unit you approve in a sample is the unit you receive at volume, shipment after shipment. For buyers running seasonal peaks, booking production slots ahead of the high season keeps lead times predictable when demand spikes.
Payment Terms: T/T Deposit, Balance, and Trade Assurance
Wholesale payment terms are structured to protect both sides. Our standard terms are a 30% deposit by T/T to start production and 70% balance before shipment, the conventional split for factory-direct export orders.
- 30/70 T/T — 30% telegraphic-transfer deposit confirms the order and funds the production run; the 70% balance is settled against shipping documents before the container leaves.
- Trade Assurance — orders can be placed through Trade Assurance, which holds the buyer’s payment and protects on-time shipment and product quality terms, giving newer buyers added security on a first order.
- Reorder terms — established, repeating accounts with a payment track record can discuss adjusted terms over time.
The 30% deposit is the working norm because air fryers are built to order — the deposit commits raw materials and a production slot, while the 70%-before-shipment balance means you control release of the goods. For first-time buyers, combining a 30/70 T/T split with Trade Assurance keeps the entry into a new supplier relationship low-risk while a model is being proven in market.
Shipping Terms: FOB, EXW, and CIF by Sea
Air fryers are shipped in volume by sea, and the Incoterm you choose decides where our responsibility ends and yours begins. We quote the term that matches how your logistics are set up.
- FOB China — our default and the most common wholesale term. We deliver the goods, cleared for export, onto the vessel at the Chinese port; your freight forwarder handles the ocean leg and destination. FOB gives experienced importers full control of freight cost and carrier choice.
- EXW (Ex Works) — you (or your agent) collect from the factory and arrange everything from there. Useful for buyers who consolidate multiple suppliers’ cargo at a single forwarder in China.
- CIF (destination port) — we arrange and pay ocean freight and insurance to your named port. CIF suits buyers who prefer a single landed quote and want us to book the sea freight, especially on a first order before they have a China forwarder.
Sea freight is the right mode for air fryers because the value-to-volume ratio rewards container economics; air freight only makes sense for urgent samples or top-up quantities. We help buyers pick the Incoterm that fits their experience and freight setup — FOB for those with a forwarder, CIF for those who want a turnkey landed price — and provide full export documentation either way so the container clears customs cleanly.
Why Factory-Direct Beats a Trading Company
The same air fryer can reach a buyer through a factory or through a trading company, and the difference shows up in price, control, and consistency. Sourcing direct from the manufacturer removes the middle layer.
- Price — a trading company resells the factory’s product with its own margin added. Buying direct removes that markup, which is often the single largest controllable line in landed cost.
- Specification control — talking to the factory means changes to control type, capacity, voltage, plug, color, and packaging are handled at the source, not relayed through an intermediary who may not control the bill of materials.
- Consistency across reorders — a trading company may quietly switch which factory fills your order between shipments. Direct, you get the same line, the same components, and a stable specification every time.
- Direct support and warranty — technical questions, spare parts, and the 12-month warranty are handled by the people who actually build the product.
- Cleaner reorder cadence — a direct relationship makes it easy to plan a predictable sea-freight reorder rhythm against your sell-through, rather than re-negotiating through a reseller each cycle.
For wholesale buyers planning repeat container volume, the factory-direct relationship compounds: lower unit cost, tighter spec control, and a reorder cadence you can build a business around.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale air fryers?
MOQ starts from 100 units per model. That low entry lets you trial a SKU in market before scaling, and MOQ is set per model, so you can combine several models in one shipment as long as each line meets its minimum.
How do volume price breaks work on bulk air fryer orders?
Pricing is tiered: the per-unit cost steps down as quantity rises from MOQ to mid-tier (around 500-1,000 units) to full-container volume. As the factory, we quote the production price plus margin with no trading-company markup, and build the price breaks against your actual model mix and quantity.
How many air fryers fit in a 20ft or 40HQ container?
It depends on capacity and carton size: compact 3.2L-4L units pack densest, while large 8L-10L units take more cubic space, so fewer fit. A 40HQ holds substantially more than a 20ft. We provide exact units per carton and a confirmed loading quantity per container for every model on a quote.
What are your payment terms for bulk orders?
Standard terms are 30% T/T deposit to start production and 70% balance before shipment. Orders can also be placed through Trade Assurance, which protects on-time shipment and quality terms and gives first-time buyers added security.
What is the lead time for a volume air fryer order?
Standard lead time is 15-30 days after the order, sample, and artwork are confirmed. Stock models in standard packaging ship at the fast end; private-label and large multi-container orders run toward the middle of the window. We confirm a firm ship date once the specification and quantity are locked.
Can I order multiple air fryer models in one shipment?
Yes. MOQ is per model, not per total order, so you can combine several models, such as a 4L, a 6L, and an 8L, in one container as long as each line meets its 100-unit minimum. Mixing models in one container is the most freight-efficient way to launch a small range.
What shipping terms and methods do you offer?
Air fryers ship in volume by sea. We quote FOB China by default, and also offer EXW for buyers who consolidate cargo in China, or CIF for those who want a single landed price with ocean freight and insurance arranged to their port. Full export documentation is provided on every term.
Why should I buy factory-direct instead of through a trading company?
Buying direct removes the trading company’s resale markup, gives you specification control at the source, and guarantees the same production line and stable bill of materials across reorders. You also get direct technical support and the 12-month warranty from the people who actually build the product.
