Replying To [Stella Weng]:

Hang in there Stella. Things will pass and come good again.

Trust the Tiger!

honesty is the best policy. tell the buyer what is going on and see if you can come to a new pricing arrangement.

Replying to [Stella Weng]:
That is true ..we are facing the same problem.As we're doing a international trade, the international economy affects us very tightly...
exchange rate regarding cost and payment..
the oil regarding shipping..
I suggest you adding some proper profit before you offer. Or inform client thus situation and it is out of your control.

Replying to [Stella Weng]:In the long term , I think we should tell our client the truth,and we could accept the order if we can do it.No one can forecast the price ,so the only thing we can do is to make it.

Replying to [Stella Weng]:It's akward time for most mainland China suppliers. just tell the truth to the customers. otherwise it's no way to survive. rate down, material up, the only way is to rise price.

Replying to [Stella Weng]:
Of course,accepting orders,better not very large order.

And then,for the uprising material,one main part of your expense,you can explain it to your clients.If your quality is good,they can sell soon and reorder soon,they will still have large profit margin and they would pay for the material part.

Also for the exchange rate,yes,it is droping and droping,then to control this part,we,as supplier,better contorl the delivery time in time to cut the lose by exchange rate.

Thus,high quality,resonable price,fast delivery,you still have some profit margin,most important,you will win the trust of your buyer,this trust will bring profit to you in the long run.

So we are still receiving orders.

Replying to [Stella Weng]:
Hello Weng, I think you have to explain to your buyer the situation why your prices will increase because of the foreign currency devaluation. If you keep on silence and you will not accept the order of your customers , they will look for another suppliers that can serve their demand since they have also their obligations to their customers. Thats is why communication is very important to a seller to their buyers or manufacturers to their distributor/wholesaler .

Replying to [kksin]:
are you online?
Could you please chat with me?

Replying to [Stella Weng]:Yeah,you are right,it's really a great challenge for us as a supplier in China now.i am really worry about it.

Replying to [Stella Weng]:

This is the very situation. When you quoted, you should mark the Valid time! Then you can solve it better. If you won't lose, you can accept the order this time but tell the customer the reality, or they will consider you earn a lot. Be smarter next time!

I think this bad condition will be past and things will go better! Let's insist on making effort!!
