Finding reliable suppliers

How to check a supplier before you send the first payment.

The first order with a new supplier is a test, not a bulk buy. Keep it small, pay in a way you can trace, and record how long delivery actually took.

Ask for references, check how they handle a damaged item, and confirm who pays return shipping before anything goes wrong.
