ordered. Your product quality is more important than affordable pricing and quick turnaround. Check their quality assurance practices to see if everything is well in place. Ensure that these practices happen throughout the process of production and not just at the end so that you don’t have to deal with defective products.
14. Check for contactable references Check for glowing recommendations from other businesses your supplier is working with or has worked with in the past. Sometimes Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) can pose some difficulties in getting the right recommendations. However, there should still be other happy customers that will be willing to say something nice about your suppliers if they are that good.
15. Get lead time and delivery statistics The speed of delivery is a very crucial point you should focus on. Compare their lead time projections with their on-time delivery rates. If they don’t have this information, then they are not open with their tracking, or they’re trying to hide the fact that they aren’t doing very well in these areas. Either way, you might have to reconsider working with them.
16. Check their customer service commitment Check the customer service of every faucet manufacturer you wish to work with. If your business model requires that you call on your supplier at any time of the day, add that to your consideration. Also, ensure you clearly understand their contract language about their return policy.
