Our Business Model

Factory Direct, Not a Trader

Yichuhui sells what the factory builds. No trading middleman, no regional re-stocking office, no markup between you and the production line.

One Location, One P&L

Every cost — steel, copper, refrigerant, labor, energy — on one set of books. You get a quote built on real factory cost, not a stitched-together margin from intermediaries.

One Engineering Team

OEM drawings, tooling changes, and warranty all sit with the same people who built your cabinet. No handover between sale and service — because there is no handover.

R-290 Ready, CE Certified

Standard platforms ship refrigerant-ready for R-290 (propane, GWP 3), supporting EU F-Gas, Kigali Amendment, and Gulf climate-class compliance.

Customer Story
"The EU supplier added two price increases inside nine months. The first Yichuhui container was 40 upright display fridges, model ABD-680, shipped FOB Qingdao. By Q2 2025, the Thailand-side restock order was 110 units across four SKUs."

Refrigerant Strategy

R-290 Ready

The refrigerant choice has moved from technical footnote to specification gate. F-Gas quotas, Kigali phase-down, and Gulf tropical operation all point to the same answer.

R-290 (propane) has a GWP of 3, versus R-134a at 1,430. That's a 99.8% reduction in direct emissions impact. For tropical-climate buyers in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, R-290's pull-down at 40°C ambient is stable in a way legacy HFCs cannot match.

Distributor Story

How a Kazakhstan Distributor Cut His Supplier Cycle from 60 to 11 Weeks

"Aigerim's first three suppliers were trading companies. Sample cycles ran 6-9 weeks. With Yichuhui: first sample in 9 days, first 40-unit order shipped 11 weeks after first contact. By August, she had a stocked SKU in Almaty with her own brand on the glass door."

First-Time Buyer Questions

FAQ: What B2B Buyers Ask Before the First Quote

Questions international buyers most often ask. 40+ more on the full FAQ page.

MOQ depends on the SKU and the configuration:

  • Standard catalog SKUs: ship from 1 unit (sample) to 5-20 units (production)
  • OEM/Private Label orders: require minimum container volume, confirmed per project and per SKU
  • Custom OEM with new tooling: MOQ typically starts at 50 units per SKU

Lead time is confirmed in every written quote, but the baseline ranges are:

  • Standard in-stock catalog SKUs: 7-15 days after order confirmation
  • OEM-configured units: 25-40 days for production
  • Samples, in-stock SKUs: 7-12 days
  • Samples, OEM-configured units: 25-40 days
  • Full custom projects (CAD + sample + production + freight): 90-150 days

Rush production is possible for catalog SKUs at a surcharge, subject to capacity. The 90-150 day full custom window is the working number for the OEM/ODM project plan.

  • Standard terms: 30% T/T deposit on order confirmation, 70% balance against copy of B/L
  • L/C at sight: accepted on orders over USD 50,000
  • OA (open account) terms: available for established distributor accounts after the second container cycle
  • Per-project terms: negotiated for larger OEM/ODM projects

Payment terms are quoted per project. The first container is almost always T/T, and OA opens up once the buyer-seller credit history is established.

  • Standard quotation: FOB Qingdao
  • CIF to destination port: quoted on request using the current freight rate
  • EXW (ex-works): available for buyers with their own freight arrangements

We do not routinely quote DDP, because destination customs and last-mile are best handled by a forwarder who knows the local rules. For projects over $300K USD, we can introduce you to installation partners and forwarders in your target market.

For a new supermarket, refrigeration installation typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on store size and equipment complexity:

  • Open chillers and island freezers ship pre-assembled — they roll in and plug in
  • Remote condensing units require on-site refrigerant line work by a licensed refrigeration technician
  • Multi-deck chillers with glycol loops need a mechanical room and a chiller plant connection

A typical 800 m² supermarket takes about 2-3 weeks. A 2,500 m² hypermarket runs 3-4 weeks with multiple crews in parallel.

No. Samples are paid. The sample fee is refundable against the first production order from the same buyer. We do not ship free samples because we have been burned by sample requests used for spec scraping rather than real evaluation. Sample cost varies by SKU and shipping method (air freight or sea-air combo to destination port).

For OEM projects, the sample path includes a "golden sample" (pre-production sample) that your QC team inspects and signs off before mass production starts. That golden sample is on the buyer, but it is credited back on the production order.
