You need to write out your business plan before you spend a dime. Finding suppliers who offer a good variety of designs and are willing to work with small minimum orders is key. Many business owners, fail to ask about minimums. They become very discouraged when they learn they must spend thousands of dollars just to place an order. Don't let this happen to you, you want a supplier who can work with the little guy.

I can remember I found a supplier that sold just what I was looking for. I was so excited since the price was right, and they had the exact handbag I wanted. However, there was a small problem. I could only contact them via email. Even worse, the handbag supplier took 2 days just to respond to my questions. I found out a few days later, that many buyers have been scammed. Here's my point, avoid suppliers who do not list their phone number on their website.

Shipping is also another fact that you must consider before choosing handbag suppliers. Believe me, I know what I"m talking about. I can remember I ordered some bags from China. The supplier promised a 5-7 business day delivery, which seemed very reasonable. I ended up waiting 5 weeks to receive my goods. You gotta remember, you cannot make your customers wait. So, be sure to question the supplier regarding their delivery time. Ask if they offer some sort guarantee if they do not deliver on time.

You will also want to ask about their return policy. Do they have one? Many new business owners are so excited to find a supplier that they fail to ask about the return policy. Be careful, many suppliers have a very limited return policy. In fact, many will state they will not be held responsible for damage during shipping.

Ask about references. A good handbag wholesaler, will gladly supply you with a list of happy buyers. You want to do business with a company that has a good reputation.
