The 'Fake Factory' Problem in B2B Equipment
Many 'manufacturers' on Alibaba and B2B platforms are actually trading companies with no factory. They add 15-30% markup, provide inaccurate specs, and disappear when quality issues arise. Before wiring $10,000 to any supplier, verify these 7 things.
7 Verification Steps
1. Request a live video factory tour — real manufacturers say yes immediately. 2. Verify business license on Chinese government database. 3. Check for ISO/CE certifications — request certificate numbers to verify. 4. Ask for 3 customer references in your country. 5. Order a sample unit before committing to a container. 6. Use Trade Assurance or Letter of Credit — never pay 100% upfront. 7. Third-party inspection (SGS/Bureau Veritas) costs $300-500 and saves thousands.
