Supplier Vetting Checklist

Tick these off before committing to a supplier. Your progress is saved locally.

Verified supplier badge - Look for Alibaba's "Verified" or "Gold Supplier" status. Check how many years they've been on the platform.
Trade Assurance available - Payment protection in case the supplier doesn't deliver what was agreed. Non-negotiable for first orders.
Responsive communication - Did they reply within 24 hours? Do they answer questions clearly? Poor communication early on = problems later.
Product certifications - CE marking (EU), UKCA (UK), FCC (US electronics), FDA (US food/health). Ask for certificates and verify them.
Samples received and checked - Quality matches photos and description. Packaging is adequate. No defects.
MOQ is manageable - Can you afford and store the minimum order? Start small. 100-500 units is fine for a first run.
Pricing leaves margin - After unit cost + shipping + Amazon fees (roughly 30-35% of sale price), do you still have at least 20% profit?
Custom branding possible - Can they add your logo, custom packaging, or inserts? This helps differentiate from competitors selling the same product.
