Many import businesses lose money trying to save money.One of the biggest sourcing mistakes businesses make is choosing suppliers based only on the cheapest quotation.But low pricing can sometimes hide:weak production systems
inconsistent quality
poor communication
delayed timelines
hidden operational problems
In international trade, the cheapest supplier is not always the lowest-cost supplier long term.Professional sourcing requires balancing:
√ price
√ reliability
√ consistency
√ communication

shipment
reputation
timelines
customers
cash flow
