Samples

The business development of many of our partners is inseparable from Made in China. On the one hand, the quality of Chinese manufacturing is increasing globally. On the other hand, we have to admit that China's factory production is much more flexible and responsive. This is what many seemingly low-cost regions in Southeast Asia don’t have.

In addition, China has a very complete set of supporting services, such as spare parts supply, custom packaging production and supply chain services, which can make it difficult for consumers to distinguish where the products they receive are from. In fact, in certain categories, more and more global consumers recognize China's manufacturing.

Our partners often encounter the following issues when purchasing samples:
  • 1. Communication with Chinese suppliers is not smooth, and it is difficult to match the demand and supply completely.

  • 2. The cost of micropayments with Chinese suppliers is high and lacks flexibility.

  • 3. There are multiple suppliers in China, and the logistics costs of batch payment and multiple shipments are high.

  • 4. After the Chinese supplier receives the sample payment, sometimes the delivery cycle indicated on the contract is uncontrollable.

The existence of the above problems greatly increases the cost of the transaction, lengthens the cycle of sample supply, and lags behind the plan for mass production. The contradiction between the supply speed of products and the demand for sales is fierce. At this time, it is especially appropriate to choose our sourcing and procurement services:
  • 1.We act as partners in China to coordinate the relationship between our partners and Chinese manufacturers and suppliers.

  • 2.Our partners can arrange payment to us at one time, and we pay in batches to multiple suppliers.

  • 3.First collect all the goods to our warehouse, and wait until the sample reaches a certain amount, then arrange the transfer to the partner.

  • 4.If the sample detection process is not complicated, and it can be go ahead without special testing by the professional. The partner can provide the standard quality inspection SOP or related pictures and videos to us. GlocalFulfillment can perform the quality inspection and provide a complete report. If sample testing requires a professional third-party testing agency, we can arrange for a transfer to a third-party agency.

Growing startups rely on lean entrepreneurship for product development, trial sales, and iterative upgrades. During this period, China with a sound supply chain system and a third-party service support system will be one of their priorities. Moreover, the flexible production and supply capacity of Chinese factories is getting stronger and stronger, which simultaneously meets the international demand and achieves a win-win situation. However, we have to admit that it is import that we commission a Chinese company as an agent for coordination, which is twice the result with half the effort sometime.
