REPORT-LED PAIRING

The report proposes the direction; the design draft records the result.

The pairing is derived from historical Bazi cultural rules and translated into a material proposal. The buyer can review the report and final product design draft before production enters the queue.

CONFIRMED SERVICE FLOW

From a $60 design reservation to verified shipment.

Start with a USD $60 design reservation that is fully credited when a tier is selected. Product payment continues in two stages; tax treatment remains subject to the checkout and destination rules.

  1. $60

    Reserve report and design

    Pay the USD $60 design reservation. Orient Qi prepares the cultural report, two curated design directions, and four tier-specific links. The full $60 is credited if you select a tier.

  2. 30%

    Choose one tier

    Review the report and design, choose one of the four tiers, and pay only the remainder needed to bring total paid to 30% of that tier. This reserves one of 30 monthly production slots.

  3. MAKE

    Communicate and handmake

    The seller confirms the details with the buyer and begins hand production after the 30% payment clears.

  4. OK

    Approve the finished piece

    The buyer reviews finished-product photos and video and confirms the style and visible quality before a balance link is issued.

  5. 70%

    Pay the final balance

    After approval, the buyer pays the remaining 70% plus the USD $50 shipping fee. Import duties, taxes, and clearance charges are paid by the buyer where applicable.

  6. SHIP

    Pack, record, and ship

    After cleared balance payment, the seller records packing and carrier pickup. The parcel asks the buyer to record one continuous opening video for evidence if a quality claim is needed.
