International Trade Fairs
For those that are looking for reliable supplier and wholesaler etc, participating in international trade fairs of your particular industry is the best solutions. You can talk to the person, take a quick glance at their profile, have a good feel and look at their products, meet great suppliers face to face and the cost to that is just an air ticket to the show. Budget airline could cut down on your cost. If there are people willingly paying membership for sites like alibaba.com, tradekey.com , I believe an air ticket to is nothing compared to it.
Sourcing for legit suppliers and wholesaler online its not impossible, but you need to do tons of research on the web and information on google are limited. It waste alot of your time and energy.
Here's a few links of international trade shows that i believe most of you will be interested in. It provides you with the number of exhibitors. targeted vistors and past fair details. If you need a list of legit supplier you can pm me for some that i found personally myself and you can easily verify them on international trade fairs. Great thing about trade fairs is that scammers are hardly found or can i say NO where to be found
