Frequently asked questions

We buy almost every kind of surplus fabric: full rolls, leftover rolls, remnants, short lengths, fabric scraps, defective fabric, out-of-season fabric and sample fabric. Materials include cotton, kate (poly-cotton), knit/jersey, khaki, denim, linen, nylon taffeta, taffeta, polyester, rayon and silk — as well as garment trims such as thread, buttons, zippers, belts and labels.

The price depends on material, width, roll length, colour, age, defects and total quantity. Full rolls in easy-to-use colours and in good condition usually fetch more than remnants or stained fabric. Send us photos on Zalo for a same-day price range; the final price is agreed after we see the goods.

Yes. Big or small, we take it. For small lots inside Ho Chi Minh City we still come to you; small lots in distant provinces can be combined into a shared trip to save transport costs for both sides.

Inside Ho Chi Minh City we can usually be there the same day or the next morning. For nearby provinces such as Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Long An, we schedule a visit within 1–2 days depending on volume.

Cash or bank transfer as soon as weighing is done and the price is agreed. We do not buy on credit or pay later.

Gia Bao provides the loading crew and trucks. This cost is already included in the price we quote you — there are no extra charges.

Yes. We take small lots of just a few rolls. If you are far away, you can add fabric remnants or trims at the same time to make the trip worthwhile, and the price will be better.

It depends. Thin or premium fabric in full rolls is usually priced by the metre; heavy fabrics such as khaki and denim, or mixed lots, are usually priced by the kilo. Both sides agree on the method before weighing or measuring.

Yes. Leftover rolls are what we buy most. The longer the roll and the cleaner the fabric face, the closer the price is to a full roll.

Within Ho Chi Minh City we still collect small lots and can fit them into a nearby route. If possible, let them build up a little longer to make a full trip, and the price will be better.

It is not required. But separating white, light-coloured and knit scraps helps the lot fetch a higher price than leaving them mixed.

We still buy them, but the contaminants are deducted when weighing. It is best to pick out pattern paper, plastic and tape before bagging.

Usually it is a full-width piece from about half a metre to a few metres long. Anything shorter and not full width counts as scraps; longer pieces still on a core are treated as roll fabric.

Yes. Gia Bao buys small lots from fabric shops and tailors too. Send photos first so we can quote and arrange a time to collect.

Yes. This is something we see often from garment companies. If notes on the materials come with it, the quote will be more accurate.

Yes. Fabric with an even shade difference across the whole roll can still be made into finished products for the domestic market. Gia Bao assesses it by the degree of variation and the base material.

No. Defective fabric still in full rolls is assessed separately by fault type and density. Only badly damaged fabric that can no longer be sewn is priced as scraps.

Out-of-season fabric usually still fetches a decent price, especially in full rolls with labels. Basic colours resell more easily than seasonal ones.

Most warehouses in Ho Chi Minh City can be cleared in one to three days. Tell us your deadline from the start so we can arrange enough people and trucks.

Yes. When we buy the whole lot, we take everything in the warehouse that is fabric or trims, without picking the good stock and leaving the rest behind.

If you are in a hurry and have nobody to sort the stock, a whole-lot price is the fastest. If the warehouse holds plenty of good full rolls and you have time, pricing by group usually gives a higher total.

Yes. Large lots are split into several loading stages on a schedule agreed with the company, and each stage is weighed and paid separately.

Ideally, yes. A list by fabric code helps us give a preliminary quote faster. If you do not have one yet, photos of the warehouse and a few representative bales are enough to start.

The person who surveys, the person who agrees the price and the person who pays are all Gia Bao. You can call Mr. Tuan Tai directly on 0904 623 046 to confirm at any time.

Yes, but at a lower price than full cones. Gather part cones into a separate box so they are kept apart from sealed stock when we quote.

It depends on the type. Loose buttons and odd trims are usually priced by the kilo; full cartons of thread and bagged zippers can be priced by the carton or by the roll. The method is agreed before counting.

We need to discuss this carefully first, because brand labels are usually not allowed to leave the factory. Size labels, plain hang tags and unbranded labels we buy as normal.
