How to Contact Genuine Buyers?
Post 1 of 61
How do you find an end user of Mineral Ores?



We are an American based company, and have primarily sourced other products besides mineral ore and got involved from a business associate that is also affiliated with one of the largest mineral ore suppliers in the world?



The problem is the so-called buyers/agents/scammers cannot produce an authentic bill of lading, because they are not in contact with an end user!



Once we check the bill of lading our supplier would like to know who the company is to see if there is a previous relationship and if there is not they will be required to submit a Full Bid: Target price, What the smelter requires, Desired contract length, etc. Then our supplier will submit an offer!



Most agents/companies/scammers/ cannot produce past bill of ladings? They are public documents!

This is an interesting topic while people are looking for genuine suppliers.



So ,buyers , are you all clean and clear ?


Personally I did some business with Nigerian and people from southeast asia and found it's hard to rely  on.


So , how to cope with this ?

There are still chances to find some real buyer’s we always welcome buyer’s to visit us for further discussion if they are real and interested in your prices and products they visit and pay you the money for first consignment if every things goes fine they will order you next time directly from their country. This is how we establish long term business relation with real buyers

It is really a good topic for who engages in this foreign trade business.As I see it,more communications and  contacting can find out the real supplier.

We also don't mind whether the buyers are end user or not. We just care whether the buyers are sincere to cooperate with us. Business isn't only do with end user,oppositely, retailer and  distributor and  wholesaler etc. are able to expand business scope.

We just want to know how to find sincere buyers who cooperate with us .
