If you mean eyeglass frame wholesalers, vendors that are commonly known for quick turnaround and low minimum order quantities (MOQs) include:

  • Viva International / Kering Eyewear distributors – often have broad inventory and faster replenishment, though MOQs vary by brand.
  • Marcolin – known for established wholesale distribution and dependable stock availability on many lines.
  • WestGroupe – generally a good option for smaller practices; some collections have lower opening orders.
  • Europa Eyewear – often favored by independent optical shops for flexible ordering and a wide range of house brands.
  • Bausch + Lomb / Vision Source style programs – some distributor programs can be relatively flexible on reorders.
  • Wiley X – typically good availability, and some accounts report manageable MOQs depending on the program.
  • ClearVision Optical – commonly considered distributor-friendly, with a mix of stocked inventory and reasonable order terms.
  • The McGee Group – often accessible for smaller buyers, with several brands and moderate minimums.
  • Hilco Vision – more of a broad optical supplier, but some frame lines and programs are set up for easy reordering.
  • REM Eyewear – can be a practical wholesale source for independent accounts, depending on the brand line.

A few tips:

  • MOQs vary by brand, not just by vendor, so ask specifically about:
    • opening order minimum
    • reorder minimum
    • mixed SKU case packs
    • lead time for in-stock vs. special order
  • If speed matters most, ask for “stocked collections” or “domestic warehouse inventory.”

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist of the best vendors for independent optical shops, or
  2. a comparison table of MOQ, turnaround, and style range.
