How to find the right supplier for my needs?

Share:

Full Question
I need to import commission ware to Europe (Romania). How can I find a supplier?

Answer
Fundamentally, there are two paths you can take to find a supplier.

Option one is DIY.

Option two is to outsource your sourcing. For example, the company I started 10 years ago, PassageMaker, PSSchina conducts research to help buyers narrow the large pool of potential suppliers down to the top 2 or 3 at a national level which fit your targets for price, quality and lead time. On the website above you will find their service details and fee structure.

But for those that wish to DIY, I would like to suggest you start by watching the following 10 short videos, which walk buyers thru the process.
