China is a big supplier for many kinds of goods and service. In currently, there are two kinds of exporters: foreign trade company and manufacturer.Which some importers are tearing to find a manufacturer, another is comparing the prices between a mess of foreign trade companies. In my opinion, both kinds of exporters have their advantages: Foreign trade company: good service and the quality can be ensured.But the price is competitive high. Manufacturer: lower price, but some small factories usually can not ensure the delivery and quality. So, if you choose a exporter from China, my advise is to consider them comprehensively.

good,but how can you keep a balance between these two aspects?Sometimes,it's just hard to make a choice. And if you want to win,you should have the courage to assume the risk.By the way,investigation is absolutely necessary before you do it.
Hi Steve, Thanks for sharing your opinion. I agree with you to do investigation previously. And i think to find some medium or large scale manufacturer many be better. Sabrina Gage ________________________________ Comm100-Free Hosted Online Live Chat
Find a factory and manufacturer is a more better approach coz it lower the cost. About the quality and delivery,i would say you need to only do business with those company that have good track record only.
You should better to deal with the trader if you know nothing about China, the rule applies on any other countries.
Be prepared to get screwed over very fast if you're only in it for a quick sale. Procurement in China directly from manufacturers takes time to build relationships and test for quality. Lived in China for the past 5 years and have seen foreigners make nothing but mistakes going directly to manufacturers and not doing enough due diligence. If you don't have the time and/or staff then use a middle man who has experience and has the contacts already in place... can save you lots of time and money in the end.
Dear Friends, I have seen all the above topics, everyone is reasonable, especially the Sabrina Gage, as I come from China, the sales manager of manufacturer. Now in China, you prefer to do business with manufacturer, but firstly you should research the product ability, and age. More aged, more trustful. because these company are live on their credit and superior service. if not, the company will be failed in the competition. We are manufacturer and exporter of agricultural products, such as sweet paprika, hot red chili, and chili powder. We have our own laboratory, can test all the pesticide and hot value.
Hey there no need to buy the goods when u can help sell them directly from the company for ur clients. Saves postage and dollars.
yup that was great when we order a china goods directly and i know where to find it, now i making a $30 minimum off profit margin each product i sell on ebay....thx china...
Dear Hilosale, Could you tell me what kind of products are you sell on Ebay, why not show us your own website?
You should deal with such trader in order to get the target products it takes a lot of hard work to do business with Chinese, and also there are a lot of competitor so it really needs an effective strategies.
Dear salesguru, I agree with your idea, because you know, there are so many people in China, so we have many advantages, such as cheap human fee, better quality products at good values, As I also went to foreign countries,I can't imagine it is so expensive on dunnage. But the disadvantage is that the market is disordered, this can not avoide, because there are so many traders, factories. you can not imagine just one products will have several thousand factories. so it is impossible to manage all of them.
The only issue are scams and quality assurance. Be sure you look into that when doing business with 75% of Chinese companies
heheheh thx....if you interested with the product here look at my signature....and you know what??? you can even put your own brand if you buy minimum 1000 item with them.... that's cool hah...
I've had good luck with Alibaba gold suppliers. Make sure they're verified as well. Do your due dilligence. I've bought from both manufacturers and trade companies.. In many cases trade companies can get you the product quicker since many of them have stock on hand and you don't have to wait in queue.
