Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers before you ask.

What emergency preparedness products can CheapALot supply?

Hand-crank and solar radios with torch, solar panels and chargers, power banks, water filter straws and portable filtration, first aid kit shells (empty, no medication), emergency blankets, LED lanterns, candles, whistles, multi-tools, rain ponchos and related household resilience lines — all sourced from factories in and around Yiwu, China.

Do you supply first aid kits with medication included?

No. We supply kit shells with standard non-medical contents — bandages, dressings, scissors, tweezers, foil blankets. Medication is regulated pharmaceutical territory in destination markets and stays out of our range; this keeps your import compliance simple.

What are the MOQs and payment terms?

Trade to trade only, minimum order value around £250, 100% payment before shipment (T/T). Many preparedness lines take flexible small MOQs for trial orders — confirm by quote, because availability moves with factory stock.

How does battery shipping work for power banks and radios?

Battery-powered items require UN38.3 test summaries and compliant packing for air or sea freight. We arrange this with the factory — it's routine for us, and we flag any line that can't ship compliantly before you order it.

Why are European retailers expanding preparedness sections?

Blackouts, flooding and storm disruptions have moved emergency kits from niche to mainstream. Several European governments now explicitly recommend households keep a 72-hour emergency kit — that public guidance is doing the marketing for you.

Can I request samples before a bulk order?

Yes. Samples are available at sample cost plus shipping, payable in advance, and the fee is typically deductible from your first bulk order. Message us with the lines you want to test.
