How To Choose The Best Cellulose Ether Supplier To Place Order？5 Tips for All Buyers [By Milacell?]

After looking at the supplier's website, we usually easy to find some suppliers with very nice company introductions,and it all seems to be a good choice. So here is the question, how do you pick the best option and the best is necessarily the best fit

The content written in this article, through the following 5 aspects, you can compare among the last few suppliers?by Price, Quality, Communication, Delivery time and Service & Solution to choose the best one.

1.Low Price?Always?Come?with Reasons

Without a doubt, price is the first. However, you cannot simply choose whoever offers the lowest price. More attention should be paid to the reason why the price is much lower than others?or even lower than the market.?We interviewed 60 experienced buyers who have been importing in China with Cellulose ether product?for more than 15 years, over 95% said they were the first to rule out the lowest priced supplier, ”It could be that their production quality is not as good as average because they use cheap raw materials”.

Maybe the product is not stable, but you can not tell the difference from their samples. Or maybe the quotation is for lower grade instead of high performance products. Once you ask high quality, the quote would be much higher. In a word, you get what you pay for.

On the other hand, it's not uncommon for manufacturers' quotes to differ by 10% to 30%. This is because factory management costs or manufacturing costs vary?situation.?For example, a large manufacturer may charge 30% to 40% more for the same product than a small factory. Regarding to the cellulose ether?product, many manufacturers are located in China, Shandong and Hebei. Some manufacturers in Shandong, we all know their names with good quality, such as Shandong Head Co., Ltd?, Shandong Landu New Material Co., Ltd., Shandong Michem Chemical Co., Ltd., Celotech Chemical Co., Ltd.has the production base in Shandong?province too.Shandong Province, as a large chemical province in China, has long been in the forefront of the country in terms of chemical output value, and is known as "China's No. 1 Chemical Industry Province".?If you source products on behalf of a large production plant or a large trading company, you may prefer to pay more to buy from a larger manufacturer, which can provide you with prime?quality products and after-sales service.

So when you're comparing prices, try to figure out why they're so different, and figure out if you can accept?with those reasons and be willing to pay for them?or only need lowest price for “one-time”?cooperation.

2.Get Samples to Check Production Quality

The quality of?samples is the second important factor you should compare between suppliers. Regardless of the supplier's business background, the price quoted, or the product they promise should be of good quality, you always need to get a sample to evaluate whether they can produce a high-quality product.?If you are satisfied with the supplier's performance, please request their samples. Of course, for some suppliers, you need to pay for samples and shipping?cost. The quantity of free samples they provide is generally 200g to 1kg, But also willing to waive all fees for premium customers.

3.Good Communication Saves More than Money

I believe communication is as important as price. Through communication, we can feel whether they are professional and responsible. If you repeat your request over and over and you still find that the product ends up not being made the way you want it. You have to spend a lot of energy arguing with them to duplicate the product or get a refund. This is a real headache. Many Chinese suppliers are not fluent in written or spoken English. Very few people have good customer communication skills and good product knowledge. From a purchasing perspective, good communication should have two characteristics:

The supplier always understand your needs.

The supplier is professional enough in this industry, rea to offer advice and solutions to any problems.

4.Delivery Time is Gold for Your Project

Delivery times depend on the product category, the manufacturer's production capacity, and their production schedule. In most cases, if you place an order with a supplier for few container,?maybe 22 or 48 tons HPMC?product,?it will take 20 to 30 days for them to start a new production process.?If you have options from multiple suppliers with similar prices, it is better to choose the one with the shorter delivery time. Maybe they have a bigger production capacity, or maybe they have a better production schedule. Especially if you're buying a popular product, it’s?better off choosing suppliers who can deliver the product as quickly as possible, even at a?higher price. Because one of the keys to monetizing a popular product is to act as quickly as possible. If more and more people realize the opportunity of this product, it will be too late to start selling.?Shandong Michem Chemical Co., Ltd.?with a manufacturing plant annual production capacity of 30000MT?for cellulose,?under the brand name Milacell, include?Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose ,?Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose, and?Hydroxyethyl Cellulose.Delivery time for container orders is within 7-10 days.

5.?Customer Service &Shipping Solution

You don't need to worry if you have a trusted freight forwarder who can help you ship your products from your supplier to your country. But if you don't, or prefer the supplier to handle the logistics, then you're not only comparing product prices, but also logistics costs and solutions.?Because it usually happens that some suppliers offer very low product prices to attract buyers. This means their goal is not to make a profit from selling the product, but to charge more for shipping after you place an order. Another scenario is that if the supplier has little experience shipping goods in your country, they will get a higher shipping quote from the freight forwarder, which will also increase your total cost.?Therefore, it is important for you to compare the total cost of all suppliers by combining product cost and shipping cost.?What you need to assess is whether they have one or more freight forwarders with long-term cooperation. Michem?has been exported to the global market for more than 15 years, and has rich experience in cooperation with first-tier shipping companies such as MSK, COSCO, ONE, HMM?etc.provide you best product with the best shipping plan.
