Yes, you are reading correctly. The Title is not a misprint, it is true, dont let them think. If you follow what i show you, you wont let them think. 

 

Ok, lets get into the “real stuff”. 

Here are the type of documents you will need to handle in your import adventures. There might be more, but these comprise 99% of all dealings.  

Most important for you is that I have written them down in  SIMPLE english for you to grasp it  quickly . Ill also be putting this guide up in pdf format so you can donwload it as a resource and reference guide. 

You will encounter the following documents in this order: 

SALES CONTRACT : This is the contract the chinese supplier will send to you informing you of all the details of his items, price, reference, delivery times, payment terms etc. He will ask you to sign back. 

What i normally do is copy the details into my Purchase Order and i send it to the supplier for him to confirm back to me. There are many reasons fow why i do this. 

From my experience, we as buyers assume that the supplier already knows what we want. I dont know if this is simple lazyness from our part  or that we have too many things to do and forget the fact that WE CANNOT LET THEM THINK. My experience has taught me that this is the worst mistake we can make.  

Treat them as children and all will be fine. Let them think and you will spoil everything. You got to realise that they have never been taught to think the way you have. They have been used to following orders, that is how they brain works. It is not their fault, but it is the way things are. 

Hence it is your job to know this and make life simple for them and for you.
