I am a freight forwarder in China, and my 13 years of experience have taught me that when you work with a trading company, I try my best to hide the factory's contact information. If freight services are also provided by trading companies, then it is completely impossible for you to have access to the factory's contact information. The only thing you need to do is to designate a freight forwarder to serve you, because the freight forwarder will pick up the goods from the factory and load them onto the ship, and has the ability and opportunity to obtain the factory's contact information for you.
Hey Spencer! Great videos! When working with a factory (in China or US) should I have a patent prior to working with the factory? Do factories in China ever steel ideas and just start manufacturing your product for resale by others? I’d love to speak with you one on one. Thanks again for posting these videos. They are extraordinary! Best to you and yours!
Thanks Spencer! I found my perfect partner in my country, India. The cost is really good, but in the future (at the time of scaling) I'll look for Chinese supplier.
Hi the video was great and helpful, in method #1 you mentioned that you would usually look for manufacturers who have been in the works for a longtime but as search through made-in-china all of them have been established since 2020 and later. Additionally, most factories have already been labelled trustworthy in some sort of way, should I still remain skeptical about a few and how could I determine if there are trustworthy or not? Any advice you could provide on those issues?
How are you doing, man? Thank you so very much for your video. Very interesting and a lot information. I do construction work and recently I been in contact with few companies in China, but I never been in China or I never purchased this way before. Is there any information i need to know about these, what I’m trying to purchase in China is a full container of Quartz Slabs in. Is there something I need to be aware? Let me know if you have any concerns or any information about these. I’m going to appreciate it in my entire life. Thank you very much, Mr.
You need a Chinese cargo agent, and then after you communicate with the factory, let the factory contact our freight forwarder, and we will transport it to the destination for you. If you need any help please comment me
I’m looking for help finding the perfect manufacturer for cowboy lassos to be used in American rodeo competitions. Pretty much looking for someone willing to copy cat the ropes manufactured in the US and able to make them cheaper. Thanks 🙏 ABR
I'm not really sure where to find those trade shows in the US. I'm in Washington DC, and most conventions here are more about comic books and such. It doesn't seem like we have the trade shows you mentioned, where they showcase samples and give a glimpse into warehouse operations. I'm actually trying to explore safety gear for engineering and outdoor work as a side gig but idk.
I have one question, do you think looking at transaction history of the manufacturer is a good way to see if the quality is good? More transactions = customers like it and buy it?
Hi Spencer, when working with a factory in China or through an agent, are there any standard agreements or contracts that you think are necessary? This is aside from an patents or legal protection being pursued in the country I wish to sell in. Thanks!
It's really up to you prepare any agreements you want signed. For small businesses, it'll be hard to have most suppliers agree to anything in writing (beggars can't be choosers). But should you try? Probably. It's a fine balance to try to create a trusting relationship vs one that is controlled by documents and contracts. In the end, if contracts are broken or agreements not followed, how much recourse do you really have when they're in China and you're in another country? I think simple agreements like tooling agreements (who owns the tooling), exclusivity agreements and non-compete agreements might make sense to use as conversation starters on expectations. I hope that helps.
It depends on what market you're in. What products are you looking to find or make? Most trade shows are industry specific. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll give you an example.
@@SpencerJan I just started and the toughest part has been about what to make and how to get it made. Part of me says to get into the toys and games category but I have a lot of self doubt.
That’s something most entrepreneurs go through. Be sure to watch my other video on “what to sell” and think through the areas I list out in that video. Also remember that where you start isn’t necessarily where you end. Your business will change but the most important thing you can do is to just start!

What if I'll go to China for negotiation for the supplier directly ?
Hi Spencer. Do have a recommendation for manufacturing 10,000 small plastic products?
I'm not really sure where to find those trade shows in the US. I'm in Washington DC, and most conventions here are more about comic books and such. It doesn't seem like we have the trade shows you mentioned, where they showcase samples and give a glimpse into warehouse operations.

Just google it. You'll find them
@@SpencerJan ok c:
I have one question, do you think looking at transaction history of the manufacturer is a good way to see if the quality is good? More transactions = customers like it and buy it?
That wouldn't hurt! The more info the better
We import a large number of goods in the United States for distributors.
Thanks dear
