Glass importers are often confused by under-market quotations, so why are some small trading companies able to offer very low prices?
Fulong Glass as a major manufacturer , according to our many years of production and export experience thinks have some reasons as below :
1. Falsely declare the price, induce the importer to place an order, force the customer to accept the new price on the grounds of rising raw material prices (the price at this time is already much higher than the normal market price), or postpone the delivery date indefinitely, waiting for the raw material price fell sharply.
2. Defrauding the deposit, the first cooperation promises a low price and a very low percentage of the deposit, and will lose contact after receiving the money.
3. There are problems with the quality of the goods. First, there are many scratches, bubbles, damage and other defects on the glass or mirror itself. Second, the actual thickness does not reach the international standard of +-0.20mm, such as 3mm glass or mirror. The actual thickness of the received goods may be less than 2.5mm.
4. If under the CIF trade terms, after the goods arrive at the port of destination, the freight forwarder at the port of destination may charge high fees, so that the overall procurement cost of the importer will increase significantly
5. In the initial cooperation, small trading companies start the cooperation at a price lower than the cost, and will continue to increase the price in subsequent orders or cheat high deposits after gaining trust.
To sum up, the majority of importers must keep their eyes open before confirming the order, and choose suppliers carefully. No one does not want to get the lowest price, but must choose long-term, large-scale suppliers within a reasonable price range. , a reputable exporter to avoid unnecessary losses.
