How to find a wholesale supplier in Peru
Start at the trade fairs and the export promotion bodies rather than at a search engine, then judge what you find on four things: whether they have exported before, whether they will put a minimum and a price in writing, whether they hold test reports for your market, and whether they answer a hard question straight. We are one of these suppliers, so read this knowing that.
### Where to look ###
Where to find wholesale suppliers in Peru
- The trade fairs. Peru runs them for exactly this. You meet many suppliers in one visit and can hold the product.
- PromPerú and the export associations. Peru's export promotion body keeps supplier directories and will make introductions. A company that is registered with them has at minimum done the paperwork of being an exporter.
- The workshops' own sites. Slower, but you learn more from a page that publishes its minimum and its price bands than from a listing that publishes neither.
- The buyer next door. A shop in your own market already importing from Peru will usually tell you who they use.
What we would not start with is a general marketplace. They are full of agents rather than workshops, and every agent between you and the workshop adds a cost and a risk that the specification goes wrong.
### What to check ###
Four questions to ask a supplier in Peru
Have you exported to my market before
Making the goods and getting them out of the country are two different skills. Ask which markets they ship to, and ask what the last shipment to yours looked like. A workshop that has never exported can still be the right one, but expect the first order to take longer.
What is the minimum, and what is the price at it
Both, in writing, before you send a specification. A supplier who will not give a minimum until they know your volume is deciding what to charge you based on what they think you can pay. Published terms are evidence that the same number is quoted to everybody.
What have you tested against, and can I see it
A toy is tested against the standards of the market it is sold in, not the one it is made in. Ask for the reports themselves rather than a claim, check the scope covers the material you are buying, and check the dates.
Where does the material come from
Ask it plainly. Natural materials have a supply chain that nobody controls end to end, so be careful with a supplier who claims complete visibility.
### The first order ###
How to run a first order with a new supplier
Order small, order mixed, and order the thing you actually intend to sell rather than the thing that is cheapest to try. A first order tests the supplier, and a carton of one colour shows little about whether they can sort and fill a range.
Agree the incoterm before the price, because a price without one cannot be compared with other prices. Agree the payment terms at the same time, and ask what happens when something goes wrong before it does.
Then check the goods against the packing list on arrival and tell them what you found, including when it is fine.
### And us ###
Our answers to those four
The reports, with the scope
Every standard, every code and what each one covers, rather than a badge. Compliance.
The workshop, and the material
Who we are and how a piece is made is on our story. Where the fur comes from is on its own page.
Questions about wholesale suppliers in Peru
Start with the trade fairs, where you can hold the product, and with Peru's export promotion body and the export associations, which keep supplier directories and make introductions. Workshops' own sites are slower but tell you more, especially the ones that publish a minimum and a price. A general marketplace is the weakest of the four: it is mostly agents rather than workshops.
