Risk notes: Precision, controller brand, training and after-sales service need detailed review.
What to ask suppliers
- Which city is the actual production site, and is it different from the sales office?
- What product subcategory do you produce most often?
- Can you share recent production photos, videos, export cases or sample reports?
- Do you accept third-party inspection before final payment?
- What are the MOQ, sample cost, sample lead time and mass production lead time?
MOQ, samples, QC and payment notes
- MOQ notes: wholesale markets may support smaller mixed orders; OEM regions usually require higher MOQ for customization.
- Sample advice: request physical samples, packaging samples and written specification confirmation before production.
- Quality control notes: define defect limits, function tests, packaging checks and photo evidence before final payment.
- Payment caution: verify legal name and bank account, avoid 100% upfront payment with new suppliers, and connect final balance to inspection results.
What to do next
- Choose 2-3 sourcing cities or regions from this page to research first.
- Search suppliers on Alibaba, 1688 or YiwuGo depending on buyer type, order size and language support.
