Before you throw money to another continent that is a bit far away from you , give yourself two more seconds to read the points below:

1. Learn more about your target companies.

★ Have a clear understanding of the company profile. Is it a factory or a trading company? Every coin has two sides. A factory may give you a better price but it has smaller product variety. A trading company,such as Richforth in China, could offer you thousands kind of products with different quantity and quality requirement, which may save you a lot of time to seek different factories and time to learn about them. If you never enter this field,you could send inquiry to both factory and trading company and make a comparison.In this way, you will to some extend find what you want.

★ Visit their company websites, chat with their salesperson online, email them and make a tellephone call. You could learn more form different contact ways.

By the way, you could also ask them to provide you contact information of one of their clients from your country.Then you will be able to fingure out some companies or factories with relatively high credit.

2. Learn more about the products you want.

★ Material, size, printing requirement and packing way are the most important elements that the price. Take the skateboard as example. Material and size are up to your product purpose, for professional player or common people. If you do not play skateboad or knows little about it,you at least search the internet to collect some basic knowledge of it.

A.Maple deck:Canadian maple and Chinese maple. The former one is more durable and firm so it has a higher price. Their ply number also have an influence on the price.

B.Wheel and Bearing: PU is commonly used for wheels today.The “durometer”(95A-103A is ofen used for professional skateboards) and “size” are the keywords for wheel.Bearing is always measured in ABEC degree. (ABEC-7 is preciser than ABEC-5.)

C.Truck:the size of it is determined by the dack size.Aluminium truck is firm and PP is often used in kid's skateboard truck.

D.Package way:shrink wrap, color box and carry bag. The first one is the simpleat and the cheapest.But most of the high-quality skateboards choose this package way.

E.Print requirement:Any print requirement on the board or the outside box will add a plate-making charge. It's up to different company policy.But the plate-making for design on board will range from 100 USD TO 180 USD.


★You had better get a sample before any order. Some could provide you free sample but in most occassions, you have to pay the sample charge and shipping cost. Many companies would refund the sample charge to you once the order placed. Sample do not tell everything but do tell a lot.

3.Keep an eye on the market trend, such as the price of raw material. Those days, cotton price grow dramatically. You could never expect to have a good price of products such as towel, mouth-muffel and full-cotton garment. A smart people always do the right thing in the right time.

4.High-qulity and low price is a miracle. If it happens everyday, it will not deserve the name “Miracle”. If you don’t have a storng mind to be frustrated time and time again, pls follow the rule“You get what you pay.”
