The person behind the desk

Why VeriMills exists

I spent 24 years running textile supply chains from the inside. Small and mid size buyers kept being shown mills they could not check, by agents they could not check either. So VeriMills checks the mill first, quotes one specification the same way to everyone, and is paid by the supplier only when a shipment actually happens. You pay nothing to ask.

Common questions

What does VeriMills cost me?

Nothing. There is no fee to send a request, no fee to receive quotes, no fee to be introduced to a supplier, and nothing to subscribe to. You are never invoiced by us for any of it. The supplier pays us a success fee, and only if a shipment actually happens. If nothing ships, nobody pays us anything.

What can you actually get made?

Three things. Fibre, yarn and fabric from the raw material desk. Garments made to order from the garment office. Bed linen, towels, curtains, quilts and rugs from the home textile desk. Dyes, chemicals and machinery are outside VeriMills altogether, and we will say so rather than take an enquiry we cannot serve properly.

What will a t-shirt cost me, landed at my warehouse?

That depends on the fabric, the quantity, the country and the freight, so no honest answer is one number. Instead the site works it out in front of you: six cases run every line of the cost from nothing to your warehouse door, with the placeholders marked so you can put your own figures in.

What is your minimum order?

It is set by the mill, not by us. For garments the minimum comes from the fabric mill, and for home textiles from the loom and the dye lot, which is why it moves with the cloth you pick rather than being one number we could print here.

Quantities and the minimum

How do I pay, and when?

You contract with the mill and you pay the mill. We hold no stock, we extend no credit, and we never sit between you and the supplier on payment, which keeps your money out of our hands. The deposit goes against a pro forma invoice, to a company account, by transfer or by letter of credit.

The deposit, safely

What import duty will I pay?

It depends on what you buy and where it lands, so the site gives you the rate and the tariff line it was read at rather than an estimate. Two things catch buyers out, and both are on that page: duty is charged on FOB in the United States and on CIF everywhere else, and VAT goes on top of the duty rather than beside it.

Import duty, and what it is charged on

How long before somebody replies?

A person reads every request and replies within one working day. Real quotes from mills take longer, usually a few working days, because we go and ask rather than sending you a stale price list.

Are the market numbers free?

Yes, all of them, and there is nothing to sign up for. Every number on this site carries its own date and names the source it came from, so you can go and check it yourself rather than take our word for it.

Where our numbers come from

Which countries do you buy from?

Garments from Pakistan, Bangladesh and China. Home textiles from Pakistan, India, Turkiye and China. Fibre, yarn and fabric from Pakistan, India, China and Bangladesh. Which one suits you depends on the cloth, the duty you will pay and how fast you need it, and the duty page carries the rates.

Import duty, by market

Do I ever talk to the mill directly?

Not as the normal way of working. This is a serviced platform and not an auction: every quote comes back through us against one written specification, and we do not give a supplier your contact details until you have told us to.

How far we check a supplier

Send your first request

Three desks, three forms, and you pick the one that fits. A fibre, yarn or fabric specification goes to the raw material desk. A garment order goes to the garment office. Bed linen, towels and table linen go to the home textiles office. No fee, no obligation, and a person reads every request.
