Friends who often do foreign trade know that if a purchaser directly from a factory, the price will definitely be lower than that of a foreign trade sourcing company. But why would a buyer prefer to buy goods from a foreign trade sourcing company at a higher price instead of factory purchasing?

1. Cost
Although the price of purchasing directly from the factory will be lower than that of sourcing companies through foreign trade, buyers often need a variety of products, and sometimes it is difficult to meet them from a single factory. So in order to meet his own needs, he must be equipped with enough manpower to deal with different factories. This actually increases his labor costs and offsets the benefits from low-cost purchases. This is very common in daily necessities and department stores.



2. Risk
As a buyer, he needs a stable supply channel. After all, he is not a direct consumer, so he needs to be able to purchase normally at any time to ensure normal supply (to the buyer's next home). If he purchases directly from the factory, once there is a problem with the factory, he will be faced with the problem of how to find a substitute. Finding a substitute is not easy and takes time. There is a disconnect in the overall supply chain and through foreign trade. Sourcing companies must be more stable.

3. Market order
Everyone knows that the balance of the ecosystem can only maintain development, otherwise major problems will occur. You should know that many domestic purchasers are not direct users but middlemen. Then why can't foreign direct users make domestic purchases? Mainly because of the above two reasons. At the same time, because a stable chain of factory-foreign trade sourcing company-middleman-direct user has been formed in the long business history, as a buyer, he does not want to destroy this structure and produce unstable factors. After all, it takes time and money to form a new chain.

4. The difference in service awareness between the two

Foreign trade sourcing companies have accumulated a lot of experience in this field because they have been engaged in foreign trade for a long time, and this experience is precisely what the factory lacks. Nowadays, the market is changing rapidly and competition is fierce. Buyers usually make inquiries from several suppliers at the same time. If you respond slowly, you will undoubtedly lose business opportunities. Imagine that you send samples to the buyer by ordinary mail, and your competitors send samples by express, then the buyer may have confirmed other people’s samples before receiving your samples, or even placed an order, you can have Chance? At the same time, buyers will also have a bad impression of you, thinking that you don't value them and don't cherish opportunities. Once a bad impression occurs, it will be too difficult to change. Foreign trade sourcing companies are able to better serve customers due to their sufficient experience.



Compared with factory purchasing, foreign trade sourcing companies are more professional and safer, and they are the first choice of many purchasers.
