Finding suppliers of clothing that are perfect for your requirements, no matter whether you are an ebay-specific shop, general ecommerce retailer or offline reseller can be a daunting prospect. A great way to start your hunt for quality garments suppliers is by using ‘Googling’ the search engines with highly related search terms. This is fast and will bring up a lot of companies to research. Ebay is also a great source of information. Just remember at all times to make sure what you’re looking at are real companies by checking reviews, contacting the companies directly, and other measures like testing out cheap orders with them, asking for quotes or proposals, complete with prices, any discounts, delivery terms. Also look at the supplier’s/ wholesaler’s financial position and performance. If any problems exist it is often a great idea to ask how they were overcome. Defensive and uncooperative resolutions, rather than prompt and helpful outcomes show suppliers that may be worth avoiding. When looking for the best suppliers it helps that you have some idea what separates average operators from the those at the top of their game. Remember that when dealing with suppliers of any kind you must always keep in mind prices, delivery times, maintenance, payment modes, quality and additional services they provide. No just your run of the mill suppliers, the best wholesalers tend to cover the following:•    Clothing wholesalers with 10+ years of business/ experience, well known and respected (family or corporate are both fine!) in the fashion/ retail world•    Great customer service, 24/7, specialist knowledge in fashion retailing, tips on beating fierce competition and running and marketing online clothing stores is helpful. Also, a willingness to source or offer advice on unstocked apparel is very useful!•    Professional dropship service that has a range of up-to-the-minute options e. g. the current idea of ‘custom’ clothing/ packaging labelling/ graphics – all designated by you the reseller •    Massive and ever revised/ expanding garment selections – rare or unusual through to popular and brand name sellers, as well as many larger profit products•    Wholesalers should be able to keep costs to you at a minimum by such things as their suppliers offering the wholesalers favourable prices on products and their delivery. In fact, believe it or not, if your communication with them has been favourable, and you have helped them make a reasonable amount of money suppliers have been known to bail out the reseller when difficult demands are made on them by the reseller’s customers!•    Super savings on bulk orders e. g. up to 90% off standard wholesale pricing. •    Stock closeout clothing, wholesale clothing and off price apparel•    Open invitation to turn up at the wholesaler’s warehouse at any time unannounced (during working hours) to ask questions or have a look at any of their products/ showrooms, and to order. Often you can get faster deliveries on orders this way•    Wholesalers ideally check their suppliers before recommending/ selling any products to resellers. The best is where dedicated review teams are set up who test delivery, general product availability, customer service etc•    Wholesalers ideally provide a ratings system for suppliers they list, commented on by their reseller clients. Retailers can then easily avoid poor performers. •    There should be an ability to search a clothing wholesaler’s website for items, categories or companies efficiently. •    Comparison tables for a variety of search levels and advice on particularly effective methods of selling certain types of products is also highly useful•    Sources of products should come from a wide variety of places e. g. other wholesalers (transparency is important here!), manufacturers, liquidators and dropshippers•    Clothing should be easily shipped internationally, suppliers should be globally represented•    Wholesalers should be able to sell at very low, or zero minimum order quantities. This is important due to not everyone having the buying power of huge retail giants. Website functions that enable you to team up with other retailers to make use of larger discounts when purchasing can be very effective•    Great returns and/ or exchange policies from clothing wholesalers can help massively with reseller customer confidenceAs can be seen, many factors exist that show a quality and keen supplier willing to make those powerful extra steps to help you. If you’re in a relationship that is mutually beneficial there will be less of a question over their efforts to help you succeed. Any successes promote helpful behaviours, providing of course all sides take action.
