Housewares Importers And Wholesalers
An importer's margin is made in the container plan. Filling it with one supplier's paperwork instead of four is most of the job.
Where It Goes Wrong
- Four suppliers, four sets of documents and four chances to miss the vessel
- Small quantities per line that no single factory wants to run
- Reorders that arrive different because nobody kept the reference sample
- Quality problems found in the destination warehouse rather than at the factory
What Buyers Need
- Consolidation of several factories into one shipment and one invoice
- A UK counterparty for contracts and payment
- Pre shipment checking against an approved sample
- Product codes that stay stable across reorders
Typical Situations
- Building a mixed container across textiles, bamboo and cookware
- Adding an own brand line to an existing distribution range
- Replacing several small suppliers with one point of contact
- Testing a new product line at low volume before committing to a programme
