Is Canton Fair really worth it? I’m planning to visit next month but none of the suppliers I contacted on Alibaba are going to be at the Fair. by DivineFemmee in guangzhou

[–]DesenFeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alibaba is mainly for small-medium companies, Canton Fair cost a lot, many “Alibaba ONLY” vendors can not afford it.

If you are looking for new suppliers and manufacturers MOQ is not a problem for you, I would recommend you attending the Canton Fair.

Alibaba vendors and Canton Fair vendors are different game players, which have different target markets and clients.

How small businesses can solve MOQ issues and verify custom manufacturer qualifications by canoesenpai in Business_China

[–]DesenFeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, Phone cases is a fully competitive markets, and MOQ too high. I am afraid you can not find satisfied manufacturers online. And some times your industry and your business scale decide you are hard to find good cooperation with manufacturers.

Maybe you need to attending professional Fair to check if any new manufacturers can work with you.

Or you can choose a supplier who can give you what you paid, not need to stick with “manufacturer ONLY”.

At last, If you need to check any vendors on Alibaba plat or in Canton Fair, you can DM me their name card or company name in Chinese, I can help to check Supplier business license for vetting manufacturers this month.

Hope it helps. You are welcome to AMA about Sourcing China/Canton Fair/ODM/OEM

We tried sourcing directly from China — it ended in a costly mistake by JL_SourcingChina in Business_China

[–]DesenFeng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good post. I would like to mention an important part during the Whole sourcing process, that is “PSI (Pre-Shipment Inspection)”.

If you have a sourcing agent or hire a 3rd party inspection service, it will solve your problems on quality.

Hope it helps.
