It is a very good channel for manufacturers to purchase goods, but the requirements for the quantity of goods are relatively high, so it is suggested that ordinary sellers can choose local large wholesale markets.
Generally speaking, opening online stores in big cities has more advantages. Frequent visits to local wholesale markets can not only familiarize you with the market, but also get very cheap wholesale prices. If we can establish a good relationship between supply and demand with some wholesalers, we can get the first-hand hot goods and ensure the low price of online sales.
But in the wholesale market, shopkeepers need to have strong bargaining power, and it is easy to get high-priced goods if they are not careful. Buying goods in the wholesale market also increases the investment risk of shopkeepers, and increases the possibility of overstocking and after-sales service not being guaranteed.
Therefore, this kind of purchase channel is declining, and fewer and fewer shopkeepers choose to purchase goods in the market. On the contrary, many online shop agents, online shop franchises, one-to-one delivery and other online shop supply channels are constantly expanding, which has become the choice of many sellers.
2. Online shop agent, online shop agent or online shop joining.
Generally, more reliable online shop agents have formal business licenses, and warehouses also have certain inventory products. In addition, in order to ensure the authenticity of the general home, the product pictures are subject to the real shot. Good on-site service has certain guarantee for after-sales service. Of course, delivery speed, product quality, price and other factors are also important criteria to measure whether an online shop agent is reliable.

Supply-related-hidden rules of wholesale market
1, don't check your products slowly in the wholesale store. When you mention the goods, you only need to calculate the quantity. Generally, when you find that there is something wrong with the product, you will ask for a replacement (of course, don't be too far away from the purchase time). If you order in a wholesale store after picking up the goods, it will make the wholesaler think that you are a troublesome customer, so you are unwilling to deal with you for a long time.
2. Don't expect to reduce the risk by exchanging goods with wholesalers. When buying goods, don't ask the wholesaler if the products are not easy to sell, but ask if they can be replaced with goods that are easy to sell. If you ask this question, the wholesaler will think that you have never done business before and are a novice in business (if the business risk can be controlled to this extent, everyone may make a fortune). Needless to say, you will guess what kind of quotation the wholesaler will give you.
Wholesalers are not obliged to take the risk of buying goods for you. It is good support that he can replace the defective products for you.
3. The price adjustment in the wholesale market is very small. As mentioned earlier, the profit of a single commodity of wholesalers is very low, and the price reduction of commodities cannot be the same as that of retailers. Generally, the adjustment is between 2% and 3%, and a reduction of 5% is already very powerful. If you pester the wholesaler to make another 20% discount on the wholesale price, it will let the wholesaler know that you seldom wander around the wholesale market.
On the other hand, in the wholesale market, the general goods are transported by car or railway (because the transportation cost is much lower than that of express delivery), and the buyer is responsible for it. If you meet a good wholesaler, he is most willing to help you with the consignment, but the buyer has to pay for the cost and freight of moving the freight yard himself.
Finally, I would like to remind you to pay attention to online wholesalers. The quality of goods, the integrity of wholesalers, prices, etc. But one thing is clear, buy the most satisfactory goods at the lowest price.
