How to consolidate multiple Chinese suppliers

Step 1

Create a supplier list with order references, readiness dates and carton data.

Step 2

Agree a receiving location and check transport acceptance before suppliers dispatch goods.

Step 3

Confirm storage, repacking and receiving charges. Decide what happens if one order is delayed.

Step 4

Produce a final packing list that keeps each product identifiable. Verify export and destination documentation before shipment.
