I agree with the good advise here seems you peoplple have respective knowledge on the subject [by the way MAT MURDOCK are you AKA Daredevil? the super hero?]
I would like to add a little something to the point of having reliable people acting on your behalf, i e resources that in your best interest oversee... quality, factory and product process, documentation and export areas, if as a company that seek volume orders and longterm business relations, this in my opinion is the best route and it doesnt have to cost an arm and a leg after all having someone to maintain this level of expectation and deliverables for your business, has got to pay off, than the other options of dealing with issues far removed from your control?.
we can help in this area i am english my wife is chinese we live in china and can provide such a service.
good luck in business

I live in China and their are a fair few expatriate magazines which have associated websites. All the big cities have then as it is surprising how many expats live here. One could always have a look through these or place a free classified for someone to visit a factory on their behalf as it would be cheap as chips to get someone to do it. Remember that the average salary in the big cities for middle management is only GBP350 a month.
So to get someone to visit a factory on your behalf (English speaking student) might just cost you a tenner. Just have to make sure the magazine/website is in the same city.

Just an idea that may help someone out on here.

Communication with your supplier well is very important .

Always ask the situation of your goods is very important too . ask them to tell you the fact ,
if anything wrong, try your best to communication with them to find a better solution .

Too many factor make things wrong . just complain with your supplier is not useful .

Hi Fineconcept,

When you mentioned that many companies can verify the manufacturers exist and to check QC(including yourself), which guaranties you give me that the company really exists?

Yeah, it should be careful! No matter when the buyer try to find the seller and the seller try to find the buyer, we should try to know each other. All the business are based on the belief. It is a little difficulty at the beginning of international trade! But when you establish a good relationship with your supplier, you'll find you can cooperate smoothly.
