However, there are still many people who don’t know much about wholesale clothing and what it takes to find the best wholesale clothing vendors. If you’re looking to start selling wholesale7 clothing online, here are some things you should know about finding the best wholesale clothing vendors.
What are wholesale clothing vendors?
Before you start looking for wholesale clothing vendors, it’s important to understand exactly what a wholesale clothing vendor is. A wholesale clothing vendor is someone who sells clothes at a discounted price usually at least 40% off retail prices to buyers who then resell them at a profit.
While most resellers would prefer to find only online wholesalers, there are often bargains to be found in brick-and-mortar stores that don’t have an online presence. Finding those stores is up to you.
Where do you find these wholesalers?
Here’s a list of some wholesale clothing vendors I’ve used in the past that have been reputable and easy to work with. These are my picks, but you might find some better ones on your own.
Take a look at these sites and decide which one looks best:
- JC Jewelry Store
- Alibaba China Suppliers
- CSQ Fashion Mall.
On each side, there is an advanced search bar where you can enter what kind of products you’re looking for.
How do you know if they’re legit?
If you want to buy in bulk, there are a few things you can do to make sure your source is legit. First, check if they have a physical location. Second, check for reviews online.
If someone’s spending their time complaining about a vendor on Rip-off Report, it may be worth taking heed. If there’s even a hint of something off with your vendor, don’t risk it just take your business elsewhere.
What kind of quality can you expect?
There are many different levels of quality when it comes to clothing and accessories. Because you’re buying wholesale, you can easily purchase goods that aren’t up to snuff even if they look and feel great.
The best way to make sure your vendor delivers top-notch goods is by vetting them thoroughly and selecting vendors who offer a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of at least 500 pieces per style.
How can you save time finding your favorite brands?
Many wholesale clothing vendors have multiple locations. So, if you’re shopping for a brand that doesn’t have a location near you.
Ask them about their other stores or retail partners in your area. You may find that they sell to non-competing retailers or drop ship from another store and save yourself some time.
Conclusion
They all sell a different variety of items, with varying quality and manufacturing processes. So when searching for one that fits your specific needs, you may have to do some trial and error before you find just what you’re looking for.
However, our best advice would be to first make sure you understand exactly what it is that you need or want to buy.
