Assess the supplier and the product separately. A complete profile is a starting point; your sample, specification and written agreement define what you expect to receive.
Use the supplier checklist first. Then agree sample approval and a practical inspection process before production.
Compare supplier identity, manufacturing claims, samples, specifications and written order terms. Use evidence and unanswered questions to assess each quote.
Record agreed criteria, observations and evidence for four checks. Use a separate record for each sample or batch.
Clarify minimum quantities by product, variant and order. Use a mixed-order example and a bilingual enquiry to compare sample and small-batch options.
Compare 1688 listings by specification, quantity, packing and service. Use an evidence table and supplier questions before treating similar photos as the same product.
Clarify logo, product and packaging minimums before a small branded order. Includes a cost checklist, sample approval steps and a bilingual supplier enquiry.
