Hi,
Did you PREFER sourcing factories when you do FOB import business with Asian suppliers?
I discovered that some trading companies lied to pretend to be a factory, thinking everybody is an idiot.
This so-called white lie, along with other stereotypes about the price, has made some buyers think factories could control the quality with mass production and consider the price quoted from factories will be better.
The fact is if the exporter follows their working steps, show their advantage, help customer to solve problems and improve service and efficiency. That is enough. No matter if you’re a trading company or a factory.
Trading & manufacturer has different taste and strength. I found that trading companies usually have great advantages in experience, professionalism, good communication, efficiency, details, and flexibility.
PRICE is not Everything.
Buyers HATE their suppliers like slow action, self-assertion, difficult to communicate with, lazy, no sense of responsibility, impolite, and open their mouths wide.
What the buyers are trying to source is a better price with controllable quality and lead time.
Sincerely,
Grandchi Suen
