Hello,
I’ve ordered some products and paid a 30% deposit. I received a sample before, and when I asked the supplier to provide a measuring tool to measure the strength of the magnets inside the products, they initially said they didn’t have any such tool, but after asking three or four times it turned out that they actually did.
If the magnets are weaker, the product goes straight in the bin because it would be completely worthless.
In the end, the inspection company tested only five products instead of 20%, and I then realised that this wouldn’t really help anyway, because a gauss meter can show the same reading even if the magnet’s surface area is smaller, which would mean the pull force is lower.
I understand they are busy before Chinese New Year, and there are a few more red flags, but I’m not sure whether I should even ask them to confirm that the pull force is around 6 kg, which is what the product should perform, or whether I should just take the risk.
I don’t want them to get upset with me, as they are a big company and I might want to buy more products from them in the future. They’ve been on Alibaba for many years and are verified.
By the way, I’m new to FBA and haven’t even started selling yet. I’d really appreciate your advice, thanks in advance.
and it’s really hard to find the first product and also confusing about which business model fit for me
