How can I confirm that they really are a Nike authorization factory
Post 1 of 36
Hi,
When asking one of my reasearched suppliers based in China, whether their products were authentic. I received the following reply:
"We are an authorization factory at China to produce Nike shoes and our shoes are original with top quality. After your first order I could provide you with the authorized letter for your reference''
What type of questions could I ask this company to confirm this is not a scam and that they really are authorized to produce original Nike shoes? As it appears a little odd that they say they will provide me with an authorization letter after the first order?
Regards
Nicky

That's odd.
They will only provide you with that letter "AFTER" you buy.
Very strange.
FYI, the Nike manufacturer here only produces for the China market.
All Nike distributors are not in China. / for export that is.

Hi Nicky. I fully agree with ZhuoErTe. He knows, as he is over there.
I think you'll find that they want to sell you an order and afterwards maybe tell you that they can't find the letter, or some other excuse. You'll also find you will probabaly have difficulty clearing the goods through Customs over there, without an authorisation letter directly from Nike.

Replying to [Nickyf]: Nike has a lot of contracted shoes manufacturers around the world, mostly in developing countries. I believe that the factory you are contacting could be one of those authorized manufactureres BUT not an authorized sales/export channel. You should contact Nike or their subsidaries though they pricings would have kill the business before it start.

Hi, All
I would like to thank you all for replying, it is much appreciated. With your input I have decided to avoid using this supplier, as I completely agree that this company may be an authorised manufacturer i.e. of Nike shoes although this does not mean to say that they are allowed to sell.

Nicky

yes, you get it, they have the permission to manufacture but don't have the permission to sell. if they want to sell. must be a copy of NIKE.

Replying to [Nickyf]:"After your first order I could provide you with the authorized letter for your reference'' it doesnt make sense,if they are the true supplier,why do they need your provide the order first?
No sense at all!

very eash, verify with Nike head office. Actually, after your message I would expect them to interfere and confirm if they have a plant in china. Most of European factories have plants in China, this is correct.
