Build your first wholesale squishy assortment around a stock budget and a measured display space. Compare the full minimum commitment for each SKU before choosing how many designs to request. A low individual price can still mean a large order when several cartons are required.
Use contrasting formats as a shortlist, rather than treating any item as a proven bestseller. A small cube, a larger jellyfish and a boxed calendar serve different merchandising roles. Their catalog prices and selling units cannot be compared as if they were identical loose toys.
Three formats, three different commitments
| STS348379 — Mini Maltose Ice Cube Squishy, 3.5 cm TPR Shell | US$0.27-0.28/pc EXW; 264 pc units/carton; recorded minimum 1 cartons / 264 pcs. |
|---|---|
| STS348380 — Glitter Jellyfish Maltose Squishy, 11 cm Tall | US$0.59-0.62/pc EXW; 240 pc units/carton; recorded minimum 1 cartons / 240 pcs. |
| STS350807 — Mystery Baozi Squishy Calendar, 24-Day Gift Format | US$3.98/calendar EXW; 48 calendar units/carton; recorded minimum 5 cartons / 240 calendars. |
Make the buy, wait or ask decision explicit
Buy is a decision for your own store after a current quote and sample review. For a trial shortlist, STS348379 has a recorded one-carton minimum of 264 pieces. STS348380 has a recorded one-carton minimum of 240 pieces. Those are item-level minimums, not a promise that any two designs can share a carton.
Wait if the total quantity exceeds your budget or the measured storage capacity. STS350807 is a calendar selling unit, with a recorded minimum of five cartons, or 240 calendars. Do not count that as 240 individual squishies or infer its contents from the calendar name.
Ask when a material, inner pack, label or design ratio is missing. Request the exact SKU, packaging photograph and written assortment before deciding whether to include it. Keep unanswered fields visible in the comparison sheet.
First-order worksheet
| Display capacity | Buyer input: usable width, depth, number of facings and reserve-stock space. |
|---|---|
| Cash limit | Buyer input: goods budget plus separately estimated freight, taxes and other costs. |

| Next review | Record actual sales and returns after your own trial; no supplier ranking is assumed. |
Place the trial before planning the reorder
Keep a dated record of the ordered specification and the quantity you actually receive. A later reorder should use the same SKU and packing description, with a fresh price and availability confirmation. Let your own observed turnover determine which item earns more shelf space.
