1.You should do a very careful eveluation of your supplier before place the order. 2.Ask somebody in China to follow the production and delivery after you make the payment.50%

I am supplier and I do not have any person in that country to look after of my supply and rest of the 50% amount of the order. It important please advise

I think you must invite a 3rd part inspection company to inspect the cargos and company audit before you start your business with your supplier.

Normally, before you do business with a company , you should let somebody to do company audit and then you can see the detail information of this company, and let your supplier send you a sample before you order and deposit, then do final inspection before shipment, and you can decide if ship it or not , then you can control each step during your business to avoid risk. and the cost of inspection is very cheap compare with your loose.

Thanks friend for your time and interest, Your advise is good for buyers but I think you do not understand the case. The case is that I am seller and I have sanded the sample to the buyer. He has like it very much due to the quality product in economical rate, that is why he has given me a good order. But he wants to pay 50% advance and the other 50% after delivery. Its a big amount. I would like to know how can I secure the other 50%.

I wish you lucky!

Where is the buyer? Normally, for the customers of Europe and USA, Canada, with 50% advanced payment, coupled with the the BL at your hand, should be safe enough. But if it is to Africa and mid east countries, should be more careful. Sorry, I don't be intent to area descriminate, but fact is like this.

If you're a buyer, you can assign one third party to help you inspect the goods before shipment; If you're the supplier, hold the original copy of bill of lading untill the rest payment is paid by customer.

wish you have a good deal.

Keep the original BL in your hand, none will take away your products, if a customer pay you 50% prepayment, sure he will pay the balanced to get the products, take it easy
