How to choose a reliable supplier

A practical checklist before you send a deposit.
October 31, 2026 by

Choosing a supplier is a risk decision, not only a price comparison. Before you send a deposit, confirm who you are dealing with and whether they can repeat the same quality.

Check before the first order

  • Match the legal name, address and bank account.
  • Ask for the certificates that matter in your market.
  • Request a sample and a small trial order.
  • Ask how they control quality, packing and lead time.
  • Put specifications and payment terms in writing.

Start small, inspect the first shipment and scale only after the supplier proves consistency.
