Suppliers and buyers complained sample products in foreign trade
Written by James dong
Suppliers and international buyers may have quarreled on sample products.
Suppliers and international buyers may think about sample delivery issues; sometimes both sides may think it just waste time and energy.
Some international buyers are declined to pay for the sample products at a reasonable price.
Suppliers may have sent out the sample products and paid for the delivery fees, but the international buyers may explain that they have some other suppliers already. In such cases, the international buyers have no intention to buy the products or the buyer has no intention for cooperation in foreign trade business. The purpose is to compare sample products and price with other suppliers.
Some suppliers may complain that the international buyer did not reply or reply with bad attitude after the buyers receive the sample products.
International buyers may ask for sample products but give no time for suppliers to prepare sample products. Such urgent samples make the supplier work overtime at high pressure and at the end; the suppliers may not get any orders or get orders very late.
If there is only quotation but not providing any samples, the international buyers may worry about placing orders on such suppliers.
Suppliers and international buyers both sides may have different views on sample products. But they could make friends with each other first, and then talk about foreign trade business.
