Wholesale Designer Handbags - Scam Warning
By: Nevis Langstaff
If you want to make money, selling designer handbags is the best place to be. I'm sure you have a female friend who had dozens of handbags and is always looking to buy. One of the most popular handbags was the Murakami pattern. There was a huge waiting list.
You need to write out your business plan before you spend a dime. Finding suppliers who offer a good variety of designs and are willing to work with small minimum orders is key. Many business owners, fail to ask about minimums. They become very discouraged when they learn they must spend thousands of dollars just to place an order. Don't let this happen to you, you want a supplier who can work with the little guy.
One the biggest mistake people make is that they do business with illegitimate suppliers. For instance, you should avoid suppliers who do not list their phone on their website. Many will say that they answer emails much faster but that's just a lame excuse. A honest handbag supplier will gladly talk with prospective buyers.
Shipping is also another fact that you must consider before choosing handbag suppliers. Believe me, I know what I"m talking about. I can remember I ordered some bags from China. The supplier promised a 5-7 business day delivery, which seemed very reasonable. I ended up waiting 5 weeks to receive my goods. You gotta remember, you cannot make your customers wait. So, be sure to question the supplier regarding their delivery time. Ask if they offer some sort guarantee if they do not deliver on time.
You will also want to ask about their return policy. Do they have one? Many new business owners are so excited to find a supplier that they fail to ask about the return policy. Be careful, many suppliers have a very limited return policy. In fact, many will state they will not be held responsible for damage during shipping.
The final step is to ask previous buyers about the company. Do not be afraid to ask for references. If the handbag supplier really wants your business, they will oblige.
