Hey guys, I’m new here, so don’t be too hard Also new to budget flashlights as well. There is a wealth of info on here and I’ve been searching, but haven’t found what I’m looking for.
I recently purchased some CREE flashlights from a Chinese distributor on ebay. I paid less than $10, but was pleasantly surprised at the light and quality. I have a vendor’s license and sell other items from time to time at local booths here in my area. I thought the addition of some cheaper LED flashlights might be nice.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to contact the manufacturers? Or, if you are a direct manufacturer, please PM me. I’m looking to purchase several thousand units.
I would check out Alibaba.com - you can put in your request and several manufacturers will contact you, or search out the ones who can provide you the requisite volume and send them a query.
best way is the hardest way. Fly to China and attend trade shows. If you have the money and time to make a last minute trip to China, the Canton Fair is next week. The next big one will be in February.
From what you’re saying, you’re looking to move small quantity. As mentioned above, go through distributors. Factory’s MOQ will be very.
I work with factories (not flashlights). Factories want customers who buy large volume with regular, consistent business with long forecasts.
