    Sourcing Suppliers (China)

    Try Alibaba and look for a supplier with relatively small minimum order quantities.

    Manufacturing & Importing Garments from China

    It very much depends on the pattern, type of fabric used, labour involved etc. Try Alibaba, there are 1000s of suppliers of every possible kind of garment on there. If you have a pattern and tell them what kind of fabric you want, they should be able to price it (although they may ask you to...

    What can I do about retailers selling below RRP

    That is a very good idea, is it totally above board to do that? Guess you just have to be careful about what you say

    What can I do about retailers selling below RRP

    Thanks for all the info, and i'm very glad I asked as I had no idea about price fixing etc. It is only one retailer who is selling the product cheap so far so I don't think it is the market's perceived value of the product. Seems like the only solution is to stop supplying them because my...

    What can I do about retailers selling below RRP

    It is fairly unique and there is only really one similar product which has the same RRP. We also want to get into bigger retailers in the future, hence the reason for not wanting to devalue the brand.

    That was the point I was trying to make, it devalues the brand, well said.

    What can I do about retailers selling below RRP

    I do mind a lot. It lowers the margin for all of the retailers who sell our product, making it less attractive to new potential retailers. And also it is damaging for the brand.

    What can I do about retailers selling below RRP

    I sell a product to retailers with a margin which is fairly normal for my industry. However, a couple of the retailers are selling the price below the RRP and this is annoying the other retailers. One of them has said that they will start selling at the lower price unless I ask the offending...

    Visiting china!

    I'm going for the 2nd time next month. I'd say find a good inspection company for the quality, it really is an ongoing thing and you have to really monitor them well. There is a website called Ctrip which is great for internal flights and hotels. No matter how cheap the hotel, they all seem...

    Telegraphic Transfers for payment to China - best way to make a TT payment?

    I use a currency broker, get a slightly better rate than the bank and you save the £20 swift transfer fee. They usually have a lower limit of how much they are willing to trade, its worth asking though.

    QC Inspection for Chinese Factories

    I recommend www.asquance.com, very good and very reliable. I've even met them in person when I went to China.

    Selling to Ireland - VAT

    I'm just making out an invoice for my first sale to Ireland, just to check I understand right, if they are VAT registered, I supply the goods zero rated and they have to pay Irish VAT through their VAT return? Also i'm a bit unclear as to what I do if they are not VAT registered, do they pay...
