Your top 5 questions answered
1.
Why can’t I just ask the factory for references?
You can. They don’t always provide them.
2.
How do I know the answers I get are accurate?
To do that you need to ask many questions and put the pieces together into one big picture. If the overall picture makes sense, the answers are most likely accurate. However, you will only know for sure after the onsite audit.
3.
Should I send the form in English or Chinese?
In English. If they can’t read the form, you don’t want to work with them.
4.
How do I know if they are reliable?
This is something you slowly figure out as you go through the sourcing process.
5.
How do I test their price level?
Simple, send them one of your old drawings or samples for quotation.
