This post is about my experience with IMEX sourcing services. Some of you may have heard of IMEX, just like I did, through the forum. @Elizabeth Shi here on the fastlane forum works for IMEX, so if you have any questions just shoot her a message.
*Disclaimer: I haven’t been asked to write this post, and while I’ve experienced the first of many awesome experiences with IMEX and their service, I can’t GUARANTEE you the same success (although it’s likely, seeing how they work!)*
Background on me: Been working on Amazon FBA and Ebay for the past few months, sales have started picking up, and I’m starting to see some traction. My biggest product is sourced from China, hence where IMEX came in.
So why am I writing this post? Well, I used to source my product from a trader. The manufacturer for my product was nowhere to be found, and I’m usually pretty good at finding manufacturers. I reached out to IMEX after reading their sourcing blog and seeing their presence on the forum, and I can guarantee that without them I would have been much worse off than I am with them.
Some of the things that IMEX (and any other reputable sourcing service) will do for you:
1. Cut costs… My cost per unit was cut in half as soon as IMEX contacted the original factory, I’m not saying yours will be as drastic as mine, but I’m not saying it won’t 😀
2. Quality control, they’ll create liability contracts with the manu and make sure that they perform as well as possible
3. QC checks - because I was concerned about the quality of my product over a bunch of them, IMEX were kind enough to check more than usual and made note of everything that was up. They went back to the manufacturer with the issues and now I’m owed XX products free on my next order.
4. They even do a freight forwarding service. I haven’t used this yet because my order was still relatively small (600 units, small product),
5. Once you start placing larger orders ($2500 and up) Quality control gets a lot stricter IIRC
6. I'm sure there's more..
Now I don’t normally make long posts raving about companies but I truly am impressed with IMEX and had to recommend them. My account rep Juliet was absolutely wonderful, and would reply to my questions promptly, help me out in every way shape and form and try to reach all my requests.
I personally cannot see the reason why you wouldn’t use a sourcing service, ESPECIALLY if you have a hunch you’re dealing with a trader. I’m actually surprised it’s not more talked about. You save money, time and headaches- three things nobody would miss! 😀
So thanks IMEX, and if anybody has any questions just leave them here or shoot them over to @Elizabeth Shi
