B2B Factories: Real or Fake
B2B websites contain mainly suppliers who claim to be Chinese factories when they are simply agents or middle-men. By not knowing which ones are the real factories, customers will never receive the best quality services and products, losing huge amounts of money at the same time. The illegitimate suppliers always reap huge profits from B2B websites, often as much as 20 fold of the actual factory price.

Factory Size and Quality
B2B websites exist because millions of tiny factories are too small to hire their own international marketing staff. Any experienced importer will know that the product quality varies significantly between that of large factories and that of small ones, due to the inferior management and nonexistence of Total Quality Management.

Guidance and Advice
Bringing your business to B2B websites means you will never have a full understanding of your sourced product, including its quality, best price, position in the market, and legality. Nor will you receive our bargaining experts and the full-scale personal guidance we provide at CIBC.
