TIPS FOR CHOOSING RELIABLE WEDDING DRESS SUPPLIERS
As the largest wedding dress export country, China has been the first
choice for many European and American wholesalers’ for the high
quality and low price of the goods. If you are going to open a bridal shop
and import from abroad, the perfect purchasing location must be
Guangzhou and Suzhou in China. But not all of the merchants who want
to import wedding dress from China can find a proper manufacturer.
Even a little carelessness can make you meet scams, and then it may
cause a heavy loss which is hardly made up for. So you must do
preparatory work well when you decide to import from abroad. Now
let’s talk about several methods that can find a reliable
Chinese manufacturer.
The simplest way is searching corresponding key words via
some search engines like Google, such as wedding dress suppliers,
wedding dress wholesale suppliers and so on. This method is simple and
practical, but you cannot make sure if they are all reliable manufacturers
just through the Internet. Further observation and contact is needed via
email or telephone. This is a comparatively ideal way for some little shop
owners who have a small demand and want to import wedding dress to
control the cost.
Besides search engines, you can also use some famous B2B platforms,
such as Alibaba, Global Sources, and Made in China to
find manufacturers. The good news is these platforms gather a large
number of Chinese manufacturers and trading companies that have
been verified. The bad news is that you need to identify which are
trading companies and which are manufacturers. Of course, every
platforms has some dishonest trading companies and it is not easy to
identify if you never cooperate with them (Tip you should know, some
forums would post names of the undesirable companies). If you are
interested in some companies, you’d better gather as much as
information to ensure they are legal and reliable.
Attending local trade fair in China is also a good idea. There are many
real manufacturers for you to choose from. Although you cannot make
sure all the companies are reputable, at least most of them are reliable
and powerful. You have to know two large trade fairs in
China, Canton Fair and East China Fair. You can see various factories and
trading companies on these exhibitions. Most of them can speak in
English, but many have limited spoken English skills. If you want to get
further communications with them, you’d better remain a translator to
help solving unnecessary troubles.
It’s necessary to visit their factory when you have a large quantity or
you want a long term cooperation with the manufacturer. While
conducting a field study, you can effectively judge if they
have enough capability to fulfill your order, and it can avoid middle man
and scams effectively as well. There are thousands of different factories
to choose from in Guangzhou and Suzhou. Compared with Guangzhou,
Suzhou has a better wedding dress making craft and a
smaller minimum order quantity. Manufacturers in Suzhou, like Jusere,
are better at crafted and complex wedding dress making. While the
advantage of manufacturers in Guangzhou is mainly about the
production, and the style is relatively simple.
At last, it should be noted that many merchants usually pay attention to
how to find a safe payment method rather than the information of the
supplier when they cooperate with Chinese manufacturers at the first
time. Actually, it’s unwise to act like this. If the supplier is reliable, the
payment method seems not so important.
