Why Exportimes can do better in sourcing？

Most people who want to import certain products from China, they will always say “I want to find the factory”, because they think factory offer lowest price. This is not always true. Sometimes, a sourcing agent offers cheaper price than factories. Buying from factories also has various other troubles such as quality issue and late delivery.

There are 4 reasons why Exportimes can do better in purchasing:

1、Helps you find the suppliers who offer the best price and highest quality

If you are looking for a product, you can easily find thousands of suppliers on Alibaba. But determining which supplier will deliver excellent quality at the most reasonable price can be incredibly daunting.

However, as a sourcing agent , we can help you find a lot of factories and suppliers that are not available on Alibaba. Their prices are usually the lowest in China. But these factory suppliers don’t speak English, so they can only sell their products to foreign importers through sourcing agents like Exportimes.

2、Helps you follow up production and save time

Maybe you have already had an extensive network and know a lot of good suppliers. But there’s another hurdle that comes during the actual production process. Since, you are located outside China, following up with the suppliers and ensuring the production is on track as per the schedule may become tedious and the information provided is also not entirely reliable.

You need to work with the factory to talk about details about how to produce your product and push the production to finish on time. Usually the entire follow up time will last 1-2 months, and some product development projects will be longer. You can delegate these responsibilities to the sourcing agent and save a lot of time that can be utilized to focus on core business activities.

3、Easier to communicate with

Our sales tend to have higher and better English understanding and communication level as compared to those of factories. Thus, we won’t get problems in communicating with customer. We also reply customer’s emails in time. If there is any problem in production, shipping, or inspection, our sales always notify customer at first time.

Many middle or small-scale factories tend to put more emphasis on production, and with cooperation with local trading companies. Those factories may also have foreign trade sales, but they are not good in communicating in English and are usually slow to reply to customer’s email (Chinese mostly use QQ and phones for daily contacts and rarely use email).

4、We are safer to cooperate with

We tend to choose stable factories that produce good quality goods so that they can enter in to long term cooperation.

If our customer has an issue with the quality of the product, we will be readily available and willing to help, and if necessary we will ensure that you get part refund from factory. Because we brings business to the factory, so factory have to satisfy the request of the former.

If you don’t usually buy large quantity from factory, when quality issues arise they will not readily help the way a trading company does.
