Till now, I believe you know how to use alibaba.com(if not, email sales@hongdeecorp.com, and I will share the video). Now, how to find an ophthalmic equipment supplier on alibaba.com, here are some important factors for you to consider below:
1)Price:
To lure the visitor to visit the manufacturer’s page, some manufacturers list low prices for their products far from the actual price, while some quote the highest price for other reasons. Therefore, it is vital to contact each ophthalmology products manufacturer and confirm the price. Also, keep an eye on the stated quantity with the price, as some manufacturer states the price per piece while others quote it for a batch. As you can see, slit lamp price is various among three different ophthalmic equipment companies.
2)Verify the Supplier:
Maybe you are confused, what’s the verified supplier? Those verified suppliers are all physically verified and reviewed by the SGS group: www.sgs.com (which is a very famous and reputable testing, inspection, and certificates authority in the world) in terms of their office, factory, production facility, certificates, etc. So, as an ophthalmic equipment buyer, you must consider the supplier with the “Verified badge”.
Besides, you need to ensure that the supplier has been on Alibaba.com for 3 years or more. And, The ophthalmic equipment supplier is at least a 3-star rating as well.
3)Analyze the Supplier/Manufacturer’s Profile and Product Page:
Apart from price, rating, and verified badge, you must also check if they have the following:
- Video: product video or company overview video on their page. This video depicts the professionalism of the supplier and their team. Also, you could search for the company name on facebook.com or youtube.com. If it has a company page both, it is a professional and powerful ophthalmic company.
- Customer Reviews: Go through their customer reviews and ensure most of them are positive. This is to confirm that the manufacturer is genuine and not a scam and that the product and services they offer are of good quality.
- Trade Assurance: Ensure that Alibaba.com provides trade assurance for the supplier. This gives you an on-time dispatch guarantee along with safety for your money.
- Online Revenue: Go through their “Transaction amount” to determine the revenue the supplier has generated in the past 180 days from Alibaba.com. The more revenue, the better the manufacturer in reliability.
- Certifications: Ensure the supplier has all the required international quality and safety certifications, including CE, ISO, and FC. They should also have an FDA certificate, which is not usually listed on Alibaba, so you can confirm it by contacting the supplier. These certificates confirm that the product you buy is manufactured per international quality and safety guidelines.
4)Analyze the Supplier/Manufacturer’s Category:
It is another critical factor buyers must consider when choosing an ophthalmic or optometry equipment manufacturer.
First, you need to confirm whether the company deals with ophthalmology equipment. If all of the products are related to ophthalmology , it’s fine.
However, if they also sell other medical-related products like medical clothing, there is a high chance that the seller is a trading company. Maybe you ordered ophthalmology equipment at a lower price, but usually, you should take after-sales services into consideration. Not only are you looking for good quality equipment, but also a reliable company that can take good care of you whenever you have any issues with the equipment. Particularly, this overrides anything in international transactions.
5)Visit their website:
Next, you need to visit each manufacturer’s official website by clicking on the Alibaba “contact” section. Thoroughly analyze their website and look for their product catalog, certifications, and about us page. Ensure all the products listed are related to ophthalmology equipment. A lot of suppliers on Alibaba website do not have their own official website. So select those who not only have a store on Alibaba website, but also have their own official website, which means they are much more experienced in this industry, and more reputable and reliable.
Last but not the least, For further verification, you can require to have a live stream meeting via Zoom with the sales persons of the suppliers and request them to give a visual tour of the manufacturing facility and do a live demonstration of the equipment you are looking at.
