When you decide to order hair from China hair straightener manufacturer, what should you consider first? Price, quality, and factory (stable quality and cooperation), and salesman should be all on your list. But there are more you should be noticed before deciding to place an order:
1.MOQ
Few suppliers may give out gradient quotation. If you haven’t decide the quantity you need to order or the quantity may change, just require them to quote you the pricing basing on different quantities before making a decision.
2.Pricing Term
Most applied is TT 30% deposit and rest before shipment which is easy and fair. And probably it’s not negotiatable as the risk prevention comes first before a business.
3.Delivery Time
25-55days from deposit and artwork confirmation, see if you are keen on that.
4.Delivery Term
There are EXW, FOB, CIF price, and even DDP/DDU. EXW is the factory price, you should cover the cost for all delivery. Sometimes it is EXW Dongguan/EXW Shenzhen, which means the supplier can send to the warehouse place in Dongguan/Shenzhen for free. FOB means the supplier will cover the local delivery before the goods on flight/sea freight. CIF, you only need to pay for the duty and your local cost. DDP/DDU means the supplier will send the goods to your warehouse/place, you only need to pay the tax by DDP, and DDU, you just wait in your place.
You can require your salesman to calculate the estimated cost till you get the product, a professional supplier must have enough resources, which is easy and efficient for you.
5.Color and surface processing
There may be little difference cost in color. But different surface processing means different cost. The Injection color is the original one plastic with color matching which is also the basic one. And there are oil painting(glossy finish)/water printing/metal finish/matt finish/rubber finish, different treatment with different cost plus, see what your supplier give and what you need.
6.length of wire
The basic length is 2.5m. If you want to make it longer, the price would be higher. And if you need lower price, you can require them to use shorter length.
7.Plug
It depends on the country/location your target customer is. Mostly there are UL plug, EU plug and BS plug.
UL plug is applied in the US, Canada, Japan, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan.
Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Spain, Sweden, and other countries such as South Korea and Russia use EU Plug.
UK, Hongkong, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Maldives, Qatar and other countries and regions use BS plug which cost higher than the above two.
The plugs are different in different regions and the voltage. Fortunately, almost all hair straighteners can be made dual voltage 110V-240V, that means by a plug transfer, it can be used worldwide in travelling.
8.Packaging
There are blank slip boxes, magnetic boxes, round boxes, top and bottom box, and others, you can choose from supplier and make a design. Different artwork and materials mean different cos. Or, you can have the idea and let them design for you. It’s a co-work for free.
