Sept 2026, This is new. I’m still setting it up, so please, give it a minute. I’d like to welcome everyone on your journey to finding that one true supplier. What is the main issue you have with your supplier? Poll is below — pick the one that’s the most frustrating right now. If you’re buying direct from factories (China or otherwise), running the business side, or trying to get off the reseller merry-go-round, you’re in the right spot. Most of what actually matters isn’t written down anywhere. You find out the hard way — a factory that ghosts after payment, a “COA” that doesn’t match the batch, a shipment that sits in customs for six weeks, labels that get you flagged. I’ve been in that loop. You don’t have to stay in it alone. This group is for the real issues: telling a real factory (product stays in the freezer, same source every time) from a trader (they just pull boxes out of a warehouse A few rules so this doesn’t turn into a mess: • This is peer support, not legal advice. Confirm anything regulatory with your own attorney. • Be straight. No dumping links with no context. • Don’t sell here. We’re here to provide your business with top quality products. Drop a comment and introduce yourself. Where you’re at with factory-direct right now and what you want out of this group.
