From where do I get my products?
The decision which products I would like to sell is taken, now the next big question - From where? Who sells? To which price? Delivery conditions, payment conditions?
Talking to different suppliers and producers, getting offers, having long discount discussions, signing contracts - it was really nerve-racking. One product cheaper here, but with 500 Euro minimum order quantity, more expensive there but' with no order limit, payment conditions between 0 and 30 days, and all this I had to take into account. This was the moment (not the last time) where I was asking myself: "hey, what are you doing? do you really want to continue?"
Unbelievable. Now I have suppliers from Germany. I became importeur and stick labels with the romanian translation on some of the products. I am lucky that I don't need a translator for that. And I'm more lucky that Romania is in the UE.
ToDo's:
- find the ideal distributors
- on long term not always the cheapest is the best
- delivery time must be one of the variables which should be taken into account
