How to Choose a Clothing Wholesale Supplier in India
Our general guide to choosing a wholesale bale supplier covers what makes a supplier reliable anywhere. This article adds checks that matter when buying within India.
Treat it as a checklist to complete before paying any new supplier.
BUSINESS CHECKS
Verify who you are dealing with.
Business details
Confirm the business name, address and contact details, and that they are consistent across documents.
Tax registration
Where a supplier is GST-registered, you can check the GSTIN on the official GST portal.
Invoices
Ask for a proper invoice; check with your adviser what your business needs for its records.
DELIVERY ACROSS STATES
Plan the logistics.
Distances within India can be large.
- Agree who arranges transport and who pays.
- Confirm what documents travel with the goods.
- Include transport in your offer comparison.
PAYMENT SAFETY
Protect your money.
Be careful with first orders.
- Pay to accounts in the business’s name, as stated on its documents.
- Keep records of every payment and agreement.
- Be wary of pressure to pay quickly or to unfamiliar accounts.
- Start small; see the buying checklist.
