Searching for suppliers

Buying from China starts with a web search — but buying well from China starts with a plan.

1. Define your need precisely

Write down specs, volume, target budget and delivery date. The sharper this brief, the more comparable the quotes.

2. Compare several suppliers

Never settle for the first offer. Compare at least three suppliers on price, quality, track record and capacity.

3. Verify the factory

Business licence, certifications and, ideally, an on-site visit reveal the difference between a real factory and a middleman.

4. Get samples

Check samples for quality and spec conformity before mass production.

5. Contract and staged payment

Tie payment terms to production and inspection milestones to reduce your risk.
