\"Amazon<\/p>\n

Pros<\/b><\/h2>\n

Reduced Product Cost<\/b><\/h3>\n

Save the Time<\/b><\/h3>\n

It will save a bunch of time for you and also help you to do the work easily from outside China with the help of the sourcing agent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Product Quality Measures<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the same order, you cannot visit the manufacturing firm of the suppliers to measure the products\u2019 quality, and you will need to get a sample first, from the supplier, to check the quality of the product. However, the sourcing agent will help in this process by measuring the quality of the products through the visit of the manufacturing area of the suppliers. The sourcing agency will update you regarding the quality of the products, and you will be notified at your place regarding the issues in the variety of products with the help of sourcing agent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuts off the Communication\/Language Barrier<\/b><\/h3>\n

Cons<\/b><\/h2>\n

Secret Commissions<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some of the sourcing agents also make the deals with the manufacturers to give them business\u2019 advantages by getting some commission from them. In this way, the sourcing agent gets the commission from both sides, and it may also compromise the quality of the products that will be the <\/span>root of damaging<\/span> your business. This became very common in China, and sourcing agents are making money from both sides and don\u2019t care about your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supplier\u2019s Contacts Details<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the main issues of hiring a sourcing agent is also that the agent keeps the contact details of the suppliers and shipment firms and gets the profits on each order. The agent doesn\u2019t share the contact details of suppliers and shipping firms, both, and your business becomes totally dependent on the sourcing agent. You cannot continue your business by elimination your sourcing agent.<\/span><\/p>\n
