Thank you for your content, we are finding this very useful. We are from the UK and would love more information regarding product testing and the process with attaining certification on our products.

[@SourcingWithKian]

Hey Joanna, glad you're liking the content! I'd start with asking your manufacturer what product certificates they have on the products (best to ask multiple factories so you know what is the standard), then I'd also ask if they have in-house testing, depending on the product it may be important that they also do internal testing before production. I'd also verify this information with a 3rd party like Intertek or SGS and ask them what are the legal and industry standards for your particular product you want to import (this will be free information as those 3rd parties also do the testing so they are just quoting you to do the test but at the same time you are finding out what tests are legally required and which ones are just suggestions). Hope that helps 🙏 PS I'm from Edinburgh :)

[@ARATMA]

Thank you for the video. Can you trust sellers who sell branded goods like Garmin, samsung, etc.. at a cheap price (65% lower than retail price).

[@SourcingWithKian]

I wouldn't trust it to be honest, if they were an official supplier for those brands they wouldn't be allowed to share that they make for them as they would lose their customer if they revealed that info so it's most likely false information. I would only work with factories who are 'verified' on alibaba. Hope this helps!

I would always do the first payment on alibaba to make sure everything goes smooth and your goods were fine, once the order was received with no issues you can move to offsite payments for next one, but for the first one it's important to have trade assurance and that payment protection. If doing offsite payment make sure you get a pre-shipment inspection done, I can recommend you a good one by email if you like, if you need it drop me an email to [e-mail]

1. You agree price and pay. 2. Order shipping agreement fail. 3. Trade assurance claim. 4. Refund effected. 5. Credit card fee not refunded, with trade assurance item refund. 6. Tell your bank resolution, no item received, they will or may refund.??? Great advice. When suppliers act stupid, don't be stupid with them.
