Totally speaking, finding cheap China manufacturers is not an easy job,especially when you are start-up business. Cheap products with good quality are rare resources, so finding them needs hard work, and sometimes lucky is very important. The two key reasons are:
You have few advantages of negotiating. If start up business have no highly enough order quantity in the early stage, producers will not give any chance. If you purchase the same products, others may get $20, but you may get $40 or even higher. If the order quantity statistics are worse done and the purchase is overrated, the inventory can be suppressed if they can’t be sold, and finally worsen the situation.
Few experience in negotiating. Start-up business has too little experience and easy to suffer. Negotiating price is a psychological game. One side need figure out another’s psychological bottom line. If you can’t ascertain what China manufacturers thoughts, it’s easy for them to pinpoint yours, then you have to be led by China manufacturers.
