OK...you've finally found a supplier you "think" has what you need. They seem to have a steady inventory of the medical supplies (or packaging) you need or want. However, your job is not done. Unless you prefer communicating and working with the factories who are 12 hours ahead of you or hoping they are actually a manufacturer you run a very good risk of being burned.
Here is where a US Partner can make or break your success when sourcing your medical supplies or packaging or anything else from overseas. A US Partner is on your time zone, they speak English (not Chinglish) and they understand your worries and fears about getting what you want, when and where you need it.
All too often companies large and small are seduced into thinking they are "smarter" than the system, that their new "friend Candy" they met on Alibaba has their best interests in mind as long as they wire $25,000 before the order is done...you'll be good to go. A US Partner handles all of this for you. A US Partner is in direct contact with the supplier and their overseas office (they should have one by the way) to make sure their own inspector is heading to the factory to review all details of your order...Before it ships.
There is way to source globally but it takes coordination from a US partner who has "boots on the ground" overseas to get what you want when and where you need it. Then, on top of that, they are able to handle all of the Shipping and Logistics and Delivery to your door, on time, every time. And if you don't think there are Customs delays because of shoddy paperwork in Chinglish...think again!
A US Partner has your best interests in mind, they are the conduit between the factories, the freight forwarders, Customs, and even local delivery.
