Be doubtful of unverified traders on Alibaba. Whilst not a fool-proof system, verified traders on Alibaba must supply the company's profile, production capabilities, products and process controls to be verified by a third party .
Yes. Please call to discuss options!
If they supply the following; a business licence, their registration number and a verification report from a third party.
Communication with your potential supplier will give a good indication of the future success of your business partnership; do they respond on time and in a way that’s easy to understand? Are they willing to provide you information or contact with previous clients? Do they have several years of product brochures, advertising, promotional materials or a presence at Expos?
Whilst a manufacturer does just that (manufactures), a trading company acts as an intermediary between manufacturers and importers. One way to tell the difference is to review their product catalogue, if it seems like there’s no way a single manufacturer could make that many product options available, chances are they are a trading company working with several manufacturers.
Trading companies are often more expensive than a sourcing agent (just saying…)
A trading company on Alibaba works the same as any trading company, they act as a mediary between manufacturers and importers.
