My company is an international trading company based in Seattle,
WA(USA)
I am currently looking to have a few plastic products made
overseas which includes the garbage bins.
If we find a qualified company to make the garbage bins, my partner
will be flying out to meet and to discuss business opportunities
with your company approximately three weeks from today’s date.
Before moving forward, I would like to know more about your
company in terms of size, product lines, prices, etc. If the
prices are competitive, then I would like to have an
opportunity to cooperate and to establish a partnership with
your company.
For us to better understand your company, it would be
helpful if we could get the answers to the following questions
at the earliest possible so we can move forward.
1. How long have your company been in business?
2. How many factories do you have totaled?
3. Where are they located?
4. What is the total number of employees?

8. What kind of volume (garbage bins) can you produce
monthly, and yearly?
9. What other type of products does your company make?:
Plastic toys, bottles, containers, trays, etc. )
10. Do you make the mold(for the plastic product) yourself?
11. Do you cover the cost of the mold?
12. How long does it take to make the mold?
13. If we send, give, or show you a sample, how long does
it take to quote us a price?
14. After agreeing on a price, how long does it take to
deliver a 40 foot HQ container?
15. Have you ever produced garbage bins for any clients in the past?
16. If you have, can you tell me how many garbage bins fit in a
40 foot HQ container?
17. Would you prefer to quote me prices on FOB
