Tips: Check at least 10 products, The more products you check, The more product information you will get, Such as wholesale price.
Step 4: Check Supplier Profiles
This step is crucial because we need to be aware of the authenticity of these suppliers.
How to identify the supplier?
1: Check the Feedbacks
Suppliers who have at least 95% positive feedback
2: Check the followers
The more followers, The better results.
Check the feedback of the suppliers who have at least 95% positive feedback
3: Check 3 Rates, the Rate of Supplier is at least 4.5 stars.
item as Described: 4.5 or Above
Communication: 4.5 or Above
Shipping Speed: 4.5 or Above
4: Give extra attention to the year of the launch of the company, is it a newly incorporated company or does it have a long-standing legacy?
Check other information about the suppliers:
or check their top-selling and New arrivals, You can filter by orders to see the product lists and understand how the new arrivals are selling.
Tip: It’s best to check the details for at least 3 suppliers before you finalize one of them
Step 5: Talk To The Supplier And Get Your Assurance
Another thing to focus on is the communication attitude of the supplier, this can say a lot about the overall buying experience that you will encounter.
You can contact suppliers by inbox message or check if they have contact information on the product details page.
Mostly, Vendors will put the information on the store header or on the product page, But actually, it’s not allowed by aliexpress. So contact below is faster.
The supplier must be polite to talk to and be able to communicate and help you out with any assistance that you may need, also he/she should be quick, reply speed has to be fast so that your delivery experience is not affected.
The best way to ensure your peace of mind is to talk to the supplier and get your assurance in place.
Get an approximate timeline in place concerning the delivery of your product, so you are updated on the shipping details.
Now may also be a good time to check and compare various products based on price and reviews and choose the best one that suits your requirement.
You can also check on the after-sales services provided by the supplier, if at all you face any issues after your purchase, this assurance will come in handy.
Tip: Talk to at least 3 suppliers, note down their scores, feedback and followers on a piece of paper and make records.
Check if they have special spaces with wholesale orders which revolves around how to mix products, how to do private logo packages, price breakdown, shipping time of bulk lashes order, their Moq, Product catalogs, Product price list, etc.
Write down all of your considerations on paper beforehand and ask the supplier about the same, one by one.
Step 6: Buy Samples With Trade Assurance Order
Buying samples is the best way to test your product before your bulk order.
And to make your experience even better, Aliexpress provides you with a 75-day Buyer Protection that ensures your products reach you safely.
If for any reason, you do not get the products, Alibaba takes full responsibility for the order, so your shopping experience is not affected.
This is the best way to buy samples before you invest more money in bulk buying of the products.
However, ensure that you check the quality and the features of the product sample that is delivered, this should not be different than what was communicated earlier on the website.
Check if the packaging is intact and the product is not damaged in the transit process.
Step 7: Buy A Trial Order Or Mass Order- Depending On Your Need
Add to Cart if you want to order something else as well
Buy now if you just want to buy this product
Place order.
Add payment Method. Use PayPal if you need a faster method.
Once you are satisfied with the sample quality, the product, and the overall buying experience from a supplier, you can then go ahead and place your trial or mass order from the same supplier.
Now that the trust is established between you and your supplier, you can order mass products based on your requirement
Be sure to communicate with your suppliers about wholesale prices so that you can save the most money when you start your eyelash business.
Adding a logo on the package will no doubt enhance your future business, But You can start with the no logo products if you just want to start your business first.
Because 100% of suppliers will charge you extra cost if you add the logo on the package, also suppliers will require MOQ, which is not an advantage for you. accumulating more customers is the first priority for you to make a successful eyelash business.
Step 8: Check The Products And The Package, Compare It With Samples To Figure Out Any Difference
You must note, your experience might be different with a trial sample and bulk order.
Hence, you must compare the trial products with the mass order that you have put in.
Ensure that product quality is consistent across the products, this is important because you want to ensure that your customers do not have any complaints in the future.
Check the packaging as well as the product itself in detail to match the quality that you wish to have.
Step 9: Buy The Wholesale Order
Now that you are satisfied with the product, the packaging, and the supplier, you can go ahead and purchase your wholesale order.
Be sure to include the right quantity and sizes before you place your wholesale order, this will ensure that there is not much back and forth eventually with the supplier.
Conclusion:
The process of buying your false eyelashes in bulk or wholesale, cannot get easier than this!
So go ahead and place your first order!
