Enquiries responses take forever!
Post 1 of 4
Getting the accurate information from sellers could be a nightmare. I am new in this game and I found out that getting precise information desired from traders takes ages to come by. I was looking for salon equipment recently to set up my beauty salon and asking for details regarding what is needed such as standing hair dryer etc what just excruciatingly frustrating and on the whole a tiring wait.

Wouldn't that be easier to buy locally? I don't know how big your salon will be, but I can't imagine obtaining wholesale prices for your pedestal dryers.
Recently I bought a trimmer for my beard at a specialized store, and realized that they don't have things like your dryers in stock, but can easily get them. And a store would most likely be willing to give you a good discount if you buy all your supplies from them.
Play the role of a captive customer in exchange for good prices!

Replying to [flooows]:Dear Flooows,I agree with Adimec,and on another hand,may be you make inquiry to an unpropery supplier or you are not the propery clients for that trader/factory
And as a manufactory,I know one thing is very important that enable to give a precise quotation to inquirier,we need time to pass your requests to engineer to check the techonology and cost.

yep agreed.. i've had one enquiry to several manufacturers and it does take forever for some to respond.. perhaps some of them are being overcautious trading online.. still i guess responding promptly is the key to good long term business relationship, regardless of the volume of initial business indicated.. you just never know when the same enquirer may bring in more business.. and in my case i do have plan to request for at least 2 more containerloads of similar product am now trying to source.. but am not talking about these future requirements at this juncture.. i'd just like to know more about my potential suppliers.. and how reliable they can be.
