What a coincidience? I'm based in California and I just asked several Chinese companies to make bra and underwear prototypes in my behalf. Actually, one company is already making 2 bra prototypes right now. They haven't asked me to pay the sample costs yet. I've asked but it's still in limbo. If they overcharge me, they can have the bras for themselves. So please be careful, they tend to overcharge on sample costs. And there's a lot them. The average salary in China is $117 a month. So does that tell you something?
Average salary $117 a month? are you trying to tell people you can get very cheap item? you are wrong, and you don't know China at all, even in the industry. Most workers in textile industry(clothes, bras or panties) they can get a salary about $300 a month, some even get more. Maybe $117 is the time you know several years ago when you visited China.
There are some scammers out there so beware. One manufacturer asked me to pay $65 for one panty which wholesale for $0.75. That's not a typo. I've got other things to say so if you want to talk with me, you can contact me at -To prevent spam, do not enter your contact information here-ModeratorIf you said that the supplier make the sample before tell you any cost, I am 100% sure this is not a good supplier, a good supplier or a experienced supplier will never do like this.I don't think that this supplier charge you $65 is a scammer, the unit $0.75 is for bulk production, but for a sample cost that would be different, to my opinion, it is almost the lowest sampling cost. it seems you do not now anything about how factory works and guiding people to a wrong way.
