Hello, this is sara. i am salesman  working for a screws manufacturer,

now i would like to discuss with all the trade friends about the methods how the importer to find the best supplier. i donot think they just find by B2Bwebsite like alibaba.com . they must have many other options. if the suppliers show their way how to make their customers find them and importers show their method how they find the supplier. both of us can understand each other. tthey can find each other more efficiently. that will be perfect!!!!

these answers will be beneficial for both of suppliers and importers.  please join now!! thank you in advance.

please contact me though MSN changxiuli@live.cn for screws business

Dear, Sara: You are asking the million dollar question.

You must do research in your own industry with specilized catalogs, publications, trade fairs, and chambers of that specific branch of commerce.

Alibaba is just one of the means of the many you have, but it will take some studying, time, and investment before you can know your industry well and who the big players are and above all what practises are best in that industry in dealings, prices, and logistics.

Regards,
