Top 10 Questions to ask Chinese Suppliers | Sourcing Best Manufacturers from China

Can you advice me if I want a new custom product from China ?

Thanks for the great content.
Question. Can I buy like samples from the booth?

Another great video! I would add two questions: How long has the company been in business and how long has the management been in place? A new, smaller supplier with experienced management might have the potential to be a good fit for a smaller product-based company wanting to grow their business over time.

I have sourced 3x from China through Alibaba and this content is very informative..

Great video. I am learning so much from your content. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these videos! Thanks to your videos, I am definitely going to visit my manufacturers in China. You've opened a whole new world.

Do you talk to the manufacturer as the owner or an get assistant to ask the questions when communicating online?

So helpful! Thank you!

Don't buy anything from Alibaba , now I know why they call it Alibaba they show u something nice and good but they send Trush be careful everyone don't buy anything from Alibaba iam scammed they send me a toy instead of a phone

You can't ask Chinese suppliers all those questions. They simply won't answer them. They either don't know what you're asking because they use a translator or they don't feel like answering.

You're lucky to get basic questioned answered like what is the packaging like.

A+ content

Hello Kian, thank you so much for your amazing content. Just wanted to drop a comment to boost your channel. I will be saving up to book a one on one with you in the future. I am actually creating my own product but I am stuck because I don't know how to translate my idea to the manufactures directly. Cheers,

1- Are you a trading company or a factory?
2- Where is your factory located? Office and factory together? Which port you use for shipment?
3- How many workers you have?
4- Which markets do you supply?
5- Which brand do you supply? Or, who is your biggest customer?
6- Have you supply any retail or departmental stores?
7- Do you supply any amazon brands?
8- Has your factory completed any audits?
9- What new products have you been working on?
10- What's the best time to visit your factory?

Good information

If you have a factory in China build a product, and it's a good product, will they produce it themselves on the side and so you lose out? Do you have a video on this issue?

Good content 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Glad that I stumbled upon this channel.

Great ❣

Hi Kian, do you know any sourcing companies/websites in Europe that is similar to Alibaba? Like I will contact the supplier and they manufacture it. I want it that way so we can save shipping costs. These days, sourcing from China is just so expensive.

just started with alibaba and really lucked out with a good source. this video is great! keep up the good work!

Hey. Can I speak with you directly?

Great work!

Very serious question that I'm sure alot can find helpful.

Do you suggest doing a NNN agreement with a manufacturer before revealing your product to them?

Or what do you recommend to do to protect my intellectual property from the factory stealing my ideas, designs and products, etc?

Its stressful as it is to find a good supplier but its even more worrying that how can i move forward to sampling and deciding on the right manufacturer if I'm worried first about protecting my product. I'm really trying my hardest to protect my product so its not copied so i don't find it down the line on alibaba copied from someone else.🙏🙏

Yes sourcing king 👑, your loaded with info, I follow Kevin King and you was next to him on the panel at a summit. You seem like a cool down to earth guy. Hopefully one day i’ll meet you at a Canton fair.

Yes, i’ll have some Sleekz®️ for you to try. 🎮🔥
Sleekz®️ on the way! Now I’ll have some questions to ask my supplier. Thanks!🔥🔥

Dude, great video man - I've been working with the same crew for over a year and just realised from your vid that they might be trading company and not a factory! HA!

really nice content, appreciate it

Kian u r awesome as always ... you are a gr8 mentor

Can you post these questions on the intro of this video? it would be more convenient if you do so.

As usual, loved your content! Learnt so much from this video. Made notes. thank you for such great content Kian. And love your passion and enthusiasm! You make me fall in love with sourcing and innovation

As far as asking suppliers which brands they supply, is this usually considered confidential information for suppliers? I personally wouldn't want my factories telling potential buyers that they supply my brand. As a follow-up to that, would you recommend telling suppliers not to ever disclose that they work with your brand?

Knowledge is power. Thank you Kian

Thank you Kian!

I really like the information you have provided. Very essential for me. BTW, do you have any idea about products from Fulfillman and CJ? I heard a lot from them. thanks

Thanks kian

Hey your videos are very interesting and useful, beside this I want to ask you the best suppliers for fabric made luggage factories? Can you introduce(recommend) me some of them please?
