First, we can't just find one supplier, he is also a carton supplier. You can find at least two, usually I find three, and then give them a good grade first or second. This is based on their reputation, quality and service quality in the sales process. You can also show the corresponding comparison catalogue to others on the annual year-end payment day, so that both sides have a sense of crisis and competitiveness. It can also avoid the risk of supply chain disconnection.

Second, when choosing a supplier, don't give him a big order at once. You should go in small batches first and then in batches. First, look at the quality, but look at their credibility through this. If you find that you are dissatisfied with the first warning, the second fine, and the third dismissal, you feel that you can't give a fourth chance.

Third, the delivery time given when signing the agreement should not be too long or too short. In China, it is generally 15-25 days, depending on the distance between your supplier and you. But not more than 45 days. I see that the delivery cycle of many purchase orders is 45-60, which gives the other party a sense of relaxation. Third, it is best to ask the other party to make some inventory preparations for themselves every time you place an order, but the inventory quantity should not be too large, and you must be inclined to zero inventory.

Fourth, it is best for suppliers to focus on private small and medium-sized enterprises, and state-owned and joint-stock enterprises rely on credibility and tact during the assessment period. Fifth, you must never go out by yourself during the procurement process. For suppliers, upgrading to the first level means upgrading to the first level. If they have bad reputation and unstable quality, they will go downhill. There is nothing to say. You must take precautions against risks.
