    Awesome! ...as usual!
    • When you say having the contact information of the boss... Do you mean the business owner, the founder, the immediate manager of the sales agent, else?
    • Also, since many years I most often only have contact with a single person over a supplier... How to report to an important person over at the supplier company, whenever needed? [And when I do, it often leads to nothing! Not even a reply!]
    It is surprising that numerous suppliers have no idea if their agents are competent or not, since no one follows them, etc!..
    • And, how to talk (or write) to engineers directly? Usually the sales agent does not have the required engineering skills!..
    Thank you so much!

    • @SourcingWithKian
      @SourcingWithKian  2 роки тому

      Hey Joanna, glad you're liking the content! I'd start with asking your manufacturer what product certificates they have on the products (best to ask multiple factories so you know what is the standard), then I'd also ask if they have in-house testing, depending on the product it may be important that they also do internal testing before production. I'd also verify this information with a 3rd party like Intertek or SGS and ask them what are the legal and industry standards for your particular product you want to import (this will be free information as those 3rd parties also do the testing so they are just quoting you to do the test but at the same time you are finding out what tests are legally required and which ones are just suggestions). Hope that helps 🙏 PS I'm from Edinburgh :)

      I would always do the first payment on alibaba to make sure everything goes smooth and your goods were fine, once the order was received with no issues you can move to offsite payments for next one, but for the first one it's important to have trade assurance and that payment protection. If doing offsite payment make sure you get a pre-shipment inspection done, I can recommend you a good one by email if you like, if you need it drop me an email to k@sourcingwithkian.com

      Hey Giggy rhere can be really bad suppliers we need to be careful to avoid but there can also be really great suppliers, I made a video on a step by step guide on how to find the best suppliers on Alibaba: ua-cam.com/video/dNblHken6rc/v-deo.html 🙏

    If you have a small scale business as reseller / retailer, then you probably will not have funds to actually visit the manufacturer in China.

    • @SourcingWithKian
      @SourcingWithKian  3 роки тому

      Hey Migo, I recommend following the steps in this video - ua-cam.com/video/dNblHken6rc/v-deo.html - that will align you with the best suppliers for this product but if it's a branded phone you should buy from the original brand manufacturer not from alibaba as they are not authorized re-sellers 🙏

    Hello Kian, what is they ask for a payment through cash app or zelle due to you wanting less quantity?

    • @SourcingWithKian
      @SourcingWithKian  3 роки тому +2

      I think it's safest to just do the payment through alibaba trade assurance so it's protected, if you use cash app or zelle you have no protection. Just select the trade assurance box and it will show all those suppliers who accept payment through Alibaba 🙏

    • @SourcingWithKian
      @SourcingWithKian  3 роки тому +2

      Best way to know if it's original is purchase from the real brand rather than from Aliexrpress or 1688, and they won't deliver it to you without paying for it if you have not done business before as there is no trust built up yet 🙏
