Hey there

I'm new here and i only see people talking about there scams, bad companies, ... what makes it harder to find posts where people talk about GOOD experiences with suppliers.

Isn't it a good idea to make 1 big topic (with a list of all reviewed companies at the beginning) where everybody can talk about there GOOD suplliers? 'Cause in the end, a legit, good supplier is what everybody is looking for on this forum.

You will find a lot of legit and good suppliers are still discussed but maybe not at great length. Most people have more to say on the bad experiences rather than good. The reason for that is simply because in most cases companies that get it right don't need long threads discussing them.

If you search the forum for the items you are looking for I guarantee you find some good suppliers that have been discussed previously. In addition, take a look in the for-sale section and post a thread in the wanted section detailing what you are after and somebody should be able to point you in the direction of a supplier.

Welcome to the forum btw, feel free to introduce yourself properly here;

Im sorry if i have misunderstood but you cant have everything handed to you on a plate, it just doesnt work like that.

Also the really good suppliers are never given away for free.

Hi,
You have to earn contacts yourself. People won't give away their suppliers just like that. I'm not saying that people are greedy but you have to do research to find good suppliers

Hope this helps.

Very few people will give away there suppliers information,it takes a lot of time and research to find the Legitimate companies from all of the Scam websites!

Trade Magazines,Trade Associations and Trade Shows are your best source to find Legitimate Companies.

Use the advance search on the forum to search for supplier discussions and check the For-Sale section on the forum !

Hi Jalysco,

You have a point but like what the other members said, very few are willing to share as they invested a lot to come up with their list of reliable suppliers.

Finding a good supplier is not easy but it is possible. It just requires that you put time and extra effort in researching. In the forums, you might not find people 'advertising' their suppliers but you might just get some good recommendations. If you enquire about a particular supplier, you will get some helpful feedbacks/inputs from other members. Some people might have bought from them before or might have something good or bad things to say about them and that wil be very helpful for you if you're looking at buying from this supplier.

Some people also go for well-regarded wholesale supplier directories that offer a safe and easy way of finding suppliers. But if you are relatively new to this and doesn't want to pay for membership fees, then you can just do your own research. You can try Google, Forums, Trade Shows, B2B sites but of course, you don't just jump right into it once you find a supplier that you 'like'. You might want to check your supplier's legitimacy first.

Hope that helps!

All the best,
Haydee
