It has never been an easier time to find a manufacturing or wholesaling partner halfway around the world. However, sourcing your products from overseas can still seem like a daunting task for new online entrepreneurs In this video we’ll go over some pros and cons of going overseas as well as making a few “wrongs” right. I’ll also give you some tips on how to navigate this new terrain so you can lock onto the perfect supplier for your product idea and get started selling online. Here are 6 tips for how to choose a good supplier 1- choose a supplier who has at least a 3 year membership no matter if it's gold suppliers or verified. Because in China, there are a lot of small manufacturers or small trading companies that will try selling on Alibaba for 1 or 2 years, they pay a few thousand dollars per year, and they don't make much money so they will decide to close their Alibaba account, and in this case, you will be out of Alibaba’s protection. 2- It's very easy to judge if the supplier is a manufacturer or trading company through their names. Chinese companies' names usually consist of these four elements: Location, Name, Business scope and company type. In China, for the same type of products, usually factories or trading companies will gather in the same city or the same province, and we call this area an industrial cluster. I recommend you try to find the suppliers according to the industrial clusters. Suppliers from those areas will be more professional and their price will be more competitive. 3- The simplest way to find where the industrial cluster for your products is by searching the product in the search bar, and then try to find which province has the biggest number of suppliers. And it's there. For the business scope element, trading companies usually use words like trading, import&export, commodity, and factories usually will use industrial, products, or certain product names like stainless, plastic. You can also go to the supplier profile page to see their business type is a trading company or factory. But sometimes it could be wrong, because there are a lot of tricks to play to get trading companies registered as a manufacturer. There are many suppliers on Alibaba, especially for trading companies and wholesalers. They upload thousands and thousands of products in order to get more inquiries from new clients, instead of focusing on certain areas. Tip 4: Choose suppliers who accept trade assurance orders. It's very easy to understand because this kind of supplier is very confident about their quality and they know, if their products have defects, the client will open the dispute with Alibaba and they can get compensation. Tip 5: Check Compliance Certifications For electronics and toys, most countries need compliance certifications for import customs clearance.You must choose suppliers who have certifications to your country. For example, electronic products need FCC for custom clearance in the US and CE certification for European countries. So only when the supplier has related certifications, can it prove that their products comply with the regulations in your country and you can also identify the supplier's proficiency via certifications. Tip 6: Price and Minimum Order quantity. Now you probably understand why price is not the most important thing to choose the right supplier. Except for choosing competitive suppliers, you also need to think about their minimum order quantity and usually, it's not that hard to negotiate the MOQ like 20 or 50% lower. And you can tell the supplier that you are willing to pay a bit higher price for buying less quantity. #Alibaba #eBay #AlibabaSourcingGuide
