Guide to selecting suitable Chinese suppliers in 2019

I believe you can find a lot of suppliers in alibaba through your own methods. But in the face of so many suppliers, do you know how to select the final partner? Here are some tips to help you find the right Chinese suppliers.
1.You'd better find out where your suppliers are.
The Internet search
You can search alibaba first, so that you can have a general idea of the products you want to buy. There's a lot of information on alibaba, a lot of trading companies but you can't tell them apart. I suggest you do a search on this site first: Sellersunion Online. The website was created by Sellersunion group, one of yiwu's largest trading companies. There are more than 30 broad categories and hundreds of small ones. Sellersunion Online has 500,000 quality products and 20,000 suppliers. These suppliers are verified by salesmen of Sellersunion Online one by one. Compared to alibaba, what you find here are absolute suppliers.
Know where your suppliers are located
The most commonly used products are made in zhejiang and guangdong provinces. Wenzhou, ningbo, yongkang, jinhua, guangzhou and other places are popular production cities. So if you want to take a shopping trip to China yourself. You'd better go to the zhejiang and guangdong markets. Go to popular production city can be a few more troublesome relatively, the manufacturer that contacts in short time is limited. Before you go to a supplier, you'd better do your homework on which market your target supplier is in. If you want to improve your efficiency in a short time, Sellersunion Online is a good choice. The salesman of Sellersunion Online knows well about yiwu market and guangzhou market, and has the advantage of language, which can help you to complete the purchasing task efficiently.

2. Understand your requirements and select the manufacturer/trading company accordingly
Before you choose a supplier, it has to be said that your purchase quantity is a key factor. Basically, if you have a higher order quantity, say more than 2,000 bottles, then you have to choose the manufacturer because they have a MOQ (minimum order quantity) policy. However, if your order quantity is 200-500 units, you should go to a trading company.
After deciding whether to find a trading company or a supplier, you need to investigate them. You can verify the situation of trading companies through alibaba. If you want to verify the supplier situation, you can directly consult Sellersunion Online. After all, Sellersunion Online has a long history with these vendors. This will not only help you choose reliable suppliers, but also get a good price.
You need to verify the following questions.
A) product description and detailed information of professional suppliers
Do you know this product? You may or may not. However, you can seek information from vendors. Typically, suppliers are keen to provide such information and are willing to do so.
B) ask questions to check the authenticity of suppliers
You already know the importance of knowing the product, features, and other details before placing an order. Since you will be investing, the scale and scope is much larger than buying groceries in a department store. Therefore, you should raise the variable problem with your suppliers to verify that they are sufficiently qualified or inexperienced traders or suppliers.
C) check the number of years the supplier has been a member of B2B e-commerce website (alibaba/Globalsources/made in China, etc.)
Often, longer memberships mean better quality and more professionalism. Small suppliers are always eliminated from the market within 5 years. If possible, you'd better choose a supplier with a longer membership year. More than five years would be good.
D) compare suppliers and prices
Yes, it's very important. You won't be able to deal with an inexperienced vendor offering a lower price because it might cause problems later on. Instead, they continue to work with specialist dealers who offer products at higher prices. At the same time, you should ignore suppliers that offer higher prices than dealers. If your order is large, you'd better choose the manufacturer.
Of course, if you choose Sellersunion Online, we will help you verify these problems, and we are more aware of these Chinese suppliers.
