Market Timings & Visit Tips
Most Surat wholesale markets are open from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM. However, Sundays are usually holidays for the majority of the Ring Road markets. If you plan a visit, we recommend coming between Tuesday and Friday to avoid the weekend rush and secure the best attention from wholesalers.
Frequently Asked Questions (Surat Market)
Can I buy single pieces from Surat markets?
Most markets operate on a "Set-to-Set" basis (4-12 pieces per design). However, at Ethnicaa, we support small boutique owners by offering smaller MOQs than typical market agents.
How do I identify a genuine manufacturer?
Genuine manufacturers always have GST-registered invoices and specific warehouse locations. Avoid unverified social media agents who don't have a physical presence in Surat.
Is cash on delivery (COD) available for bulk orders?
For most wholesale exports and large bulk orders, payment is via NEFT or UPI. Some verified catalogs on Ethnicaa may support partial COD for domestic Indian orders.
