Hey folks — I’m trying to understand if I’m the only one struggling with this. Every time I need a new supplier (apparel right now, but I’ve seen similar pain in auto parts), the info is scattered, response quality is all over the place, and it’s hard to judge who’s legit until you’ve wasted days. I end up bouncing between Alibaba/1688, Google, random trade show lists, spreadsheets, and a ton of DMs/emails. I’m curious about your real workflow: Where do you actually find new factories/suppliers today? From “I start searching” to “I have 5–10 suppliers worth talking to,” how long does that usually take you? Could anyone pls recommend any tools that make the first shortlist faster?
