my biggest struggle has been finding alibaba manufacturers that will even make a thing for me...
Get yourself a good sourcing agent, you can find one on upwork or sourcebirds
How much do they normally charge?
Thanks for this!
Interesting gonna look that up
What’s a sourcing agent??
People who can find a manufacturer that you are looking for.
To everyone starting out: always, always hire one. They'll make sure you are woking with an actual factory and not a reseller, will review the certifications etc.
There are countless stories about how people lose all of theirs savings because they chose the wrong supplier.
Thanks for the tip!
Use yumari rather than alibaba. They help with product development, supplier matchmaking etc
