You can also use our free online negotiation service with trusted suppliers, which allows you to communicate directly with a potential partner, ask important questions and understand whether it is worth working with him. Today we have completed a series of such negotiations with suppliers of textiles and clothing, and based on the results of the negotiations, we have prepared for you a list of key questions that are recommended to ask a supplier during negotiations, including those from China:

General information about the company

- Cost of goods and restrictions: we recommend that you discuss the cost at each purchase, as well as clarify whether there are any restrictions on setting the retail price (recommended retail price). If you do not comply with this price, then globally it will not lead to a disaster. But the supply of goods may stop.

- How many years has the company been operating in the market

- Production capacity, sales volume

- Availability of quality certificates (ISO, CE, etc.)

- Wealth of assortment: Examine the entire range of the supplier, including, for example, accessories for the main product, products from related categories, consumables, tools, etc.

- Discounts and bonuses: additional privileges are not indicated in the price lists, be sure to ask if someone is ready to move on the price or give a "credit line" on your terms.

- Product information, integration with the online store: check the availability of high-quality product photos, descriptions and characteristics. Also, some suppliers may support integration and automation with your website, in terms of content and product availability.

Production & Logistics

- Terms and Conditions of Delivery of Goods

- What documents are provided during shipment

Terms of cooperation

- Minimum order quantities: Large suppliers may limit the minimum amount to purchase

- Payment terms, for example, in case of long-term cooperation, the ability to take the goods for sale or pay for the goods later

- Product warranties, defective or return issues

A thorough check of the supplier and direct negotiations will help you find a reliable partner in China and other countries, as well as avoid possible risks.
