What can an impport agent do for me?

[Rhinestone]

My new years resolution is to make running my business easier and reduce my shipping costs, I currently import directly from my manufacturers in North America. Is an import agent the answer?

if you can import directly from your manufacturer why should you find a agent?

what the purpose?

if you can import directly from your manufacturer why should you find a agent?

what the purpose?

.........To check the goods ? To get better shipping rates ? To find other suppliers ? To concentrate on making sure your orders are manufactured correctly and on time ? To leave you more time to run your business at home ?

A good agent is a worthwhile asset.

An agent can safe guard your transaction especially you are importing from China without local languages for bargaining and quality control.
