Alibaba wholesale website

[Hedgie]

Im looking at purchasing some stock from suppliers in China from the Alibaba site. Not a great quantity in terms of cost (£250) initially but there are so many suppliers I don't know the best way of picking a good one?

Are they all decent suppliers on there or is there a risk of picking a bad egg?

Any tips on choosing a supplier i.e. lessening the risk to me of not getting the stock?

Are they all decent suppliers? I have to say NO!Alibaba is just a B2B website accepted paying members.The site can not guarantee that all members on there are all trustworthy.

You can identify them from some points.Such as "Glod Supplier" , " Assessed Supplier" and "Qualification proof",old suppliers maybe reliable.Bad suppliers can be filtered from the list.And you need to contact them,talk about your products details for several days before place your order.A professional supplier of your products should be familiar with the details.If necessary,you also can ask for a sample.If your order is big,you should visit the supplier's place.
