DO YOU REALLY NEED A BUYING AGENT?
Currently, many overseas buyers are attend to import from China by themselves even this is their first time to come. But most of the buyers don't know the culture of China, and even have no idea where to go. Only by searching on the interenet or make a call to some suppliers beforehand is not enough.
Here are some tips for you,
You don’t need a China sourcing agent if you fit these.
1. You have a very tight budget and saving costs is your first concern.

You want to save on the service fees with these sourcing agents, actually you might lose more time.

2. You believe you’re very capable of handling all the trivial things even you are not in China. You’ll stay in China for the work or travel frequently to China.
3. You know Chinese business practice and Chinese culture very well.
4. You already have reliable, honest suppliers. Suppliers who will not cheat you on the quality of the goods, delivery time, etc. Some of the suppliers in China would usually say yes to everything before placing the order. After you pay then maybe they can’t do most of the things and they will ask you to choose other models or make other changes.
5. You don’t trust your buying agent. China sourcing agent is a bridge between Chinese suppliers and clients. The first and foremost important is to find someone you feel reliable and comfortable to work with, or else there is no need for it.
