Thank you Walter, this puts my mind at rest. I believe his wording made me believe the printing was done by a subcontractor, which I am fine with. He said something about getting the samples back from the printer or printing. They don't specialize in printing so I imagine it took a few days to send it back and get it back, etc.
Bypassing a patent with small modifications can be risky. You would need the advice of a patent attorney, or check out some of the threads where patents have been dealt with. There are some members with quite good knowledge on the subject.
If he has quoted UPS it is almost certainly door to door service, but I never take anything for granted. so I would ask him to confirm.
Thank you. I believe it is door to door but I will make sure. Ok understood. I am reaching out to freight forwarders once I get his quote via LCL FOB.
Commercial Assembly businesses generally require continuing business. Centers employing disabled or handicapped workers will usually accept one-off or small continuing business, but they are now more difficult to find in the US. To a lesser extent the same applies in the UK, but in Australia there are still many that operate as charities or non profit organizations.
I suggest you have a look through this thread, where you will find some help for someone such as yourself just starting out to look for suppliers in China.
Sorry Enrique, I thought you were looking for suppliers. I can't help you find dealers for your database.
All suppliers will have some packaging ability, but not necessarily of the kind you want. They will certainly have access to packaging suppliers. You should remember that shoes in retail boxes will occupy a lot more space in shipping, and freight on empty space can be more expensive than freight on the weight of the product.
As far as I am aware care labels are only required on garments that are normally washed. Specifically this applies to clothing, but doesn't apply to tea towels, toys, babies' bibs, cushion covers, sheets, towels, etc., or other items that are not clothing.
I just sent my logo and basic instructions and she said it was fine. She also mentioned that a Made in China label is required for the U.S. which I believe is true so I asked her to print it on the wash label on the backside.
PayPal's policies vary for different users, but holding the funds that long should not be a problem for her, it is part of PayPal's normal processes.
That's a reasonable arrangement, but many Chinese business people will try hard to get you to pay everything. In my experience most have been will to pay the fees that their own bank charges them.
Thank you Walter. I wanted to be sure I wasn't being unreasonable first.
Thank you. I heard back from her and she said not to bother calling paypal as their policies are different for all buyers. She said the products are sent out for order and to send her the final wash tags. So hopefully everything works out.
South Korean products are generally of better quality than you will find in China. Many of the cultural factors that my book deals with in relation to dealing with Chinese suppliers are also relevant when dealing with those in South Korea. The Koreans have longer experience in handling export business and tend to be more professional.
Communication with someone local to you might be easier, but they will be working through an agent in the USA, so there will be potential delays in the communication process.
Thank you for the insight Walter. I completely understand your terms. I will give it a shot with the supplier I have communication, and hopefully would keep you posted. Will take a look in your book as well.
