Many warehouse owners in northern and central Vietnam ask us the same question: we are so far away — can we still sell to you? The answer is yes. Gia Bao buys surplus fabric nationwide, focusing on large lots of a few tonnes and up, enough to make a long-distance trip worthwhile. We have only one address, at 69C Đỗ Đức Dục, Phú Thọ Hòa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City; work with distant sellers is organised trip by trip, not through branch offices in the provinces.
Major textile regions that often hold surplus fabric
Surplus fabric is not only found in the south. Each region has its own kind of stock:
- Nam Dinh, Thai Binh: a long tradition of weaving and dyeing, with many weaving and spinning mills and garment workshops; common surplus includes greige fabric, cotton, kate and lining.
- Hanoi, Hung Yen: many export garment companies and fashion workshops on the city outskirts; surplus rolls by article code and boxed trims.
- Da Nang and central Vietnam: export garment factories and uniform makers; often khaki, nylon taffeta and pique knit.
- Long An, Tay Ninh: now one province after the merger, with many garment and textile factories and contract workshops, and the easiest to reach from Ho Chi Minh City.
For provinces close to Ho Chi Minh City, see the dedicated page: surplus fabric buyer in Long An. This page is for sellers further away, where the way we work has to be different.
How we buy large lots of surplus fabric nationwide
- Send photos and video on Zalo to 0904 623 046: film the whole warehouse slowly, with close-ups of a few rolls, the fabric face and the spec labels, plus a stock list if you have one (code, number of rolls, metres or kilos). You can message us in English or Chinese — we will reply.
- Live video call: we ask you to pull out a few rolls from the middle of the stack, unroll some fabric to check the colour in daylight, and look for damp or mould.
- Agree the price and pricing basis: per roll, per metre or per kilo; any deduction for defective goods; and who handles loading at your warehouse.
- Deposit: once agreed, Gia Bao pays a deposit to hold the lot, and both sides record the deal in writing or in clear messages.
- Truck dispatch and collection: our staff travel with or ahead of the truck, weigh and check against the quote, pay the balance, then load the goods.
Transport costs and pricing for distant sellers
Hauling goods from the north or centre down to Ho Chi Minh City is a major cost, so it directly affects the buying price. We make this clear from the start: the price quoted to distant sellers is the price collected at your warehouse, already covering the truck or container that Gia Bao hires. You do not have to find a truck or deal with a haulier.
That is why the larger and more uniform the lot, the better the price per kilo, because the transport cost is spread over more goods. A small lot very far away is usually hard to price fairly; in that case we will tell you straight away so you can consider selling to a buyer closer to you. Other factors that determine the price are on our fabric buying price page.
Goods that suit a long-distance trip
The goods most worth a long trip are full rolls, still wrapped, of the same article and colour, in quantities of several thousand metres or more. Next come whole-warehouse clearance lots when a company relocates or discontinues a product line — fabric, trims and bagged scraps together. For this kind of lot, see also buying garment factory surplus fabric and fabric stock clearance.
How to make a long-distance sale go smoothly
What distant sellers worry about most is the buyer cutting the price once the goods are already on the truck. The way to avoid that is to be thorough at the quoting stage: photos and video must show the real condition of the goods, defects included, and the more detailed the stock list, the smaller any difference at weighing. Please prepare a yard or access for a large truck, a forklift if the goods are on pallets, and tell us your warehouse hours in advance. On our side, if the actual goods differ significantly from the photos, we discuss it with you right there at the warehouse, before loading — we never make deductions afterwards.
If you have a large lot of surplus fabric in any province, call or message Mr. Tuan Tai on Zalo at 0904 623 046 and start with a few photos.
