Independent distributor’s Secret
By HTG’s Emma
Usually buyers have three ways to purchase connectors, such as TE, MOLEX, JST, WAGO, PANDUIT, PHOENIX: Manufacture, Authorized distributor (AD), Independent Distributors(ID).
Some buyers only can accept Authorized distributors or MFG, they thought independent distributors do have the lower price, but still is not professional and have bad service,they may get the fake parts.
With 10 years’ experience in HTG an independent distributor of connectors, I would like to share some truth about independent distributor. Hope I could help you someway.
As you may know that Most of big manufacture, OEM factory, for example Flextronics, Kodak, Foxconn, those factory, supported by MFG directly but still, they have 30% purchasing from independent distributors.
I think we have at least four reasons :
- Lessen work burden of buyers
Different brand parts, connectors, pcbs, cables, one independent distributors could work them out, buyers do not need to send thousands emails, make hundreds phone calls to different suppliers and prepare tons of paper work for orders.
If you ordered to any authorized distributor, you may have this reply when you ask for stocks: Sorry we do not have this part in stocks.
But same situation if you send inquiry to Independent distributor, even they do not have any stocks in hand, they will locate all over the world, MFG, authorized distributors, OEM factory even their own customers, ID definitely work harder for your demand, and with their flexible sources, you have more chance to meet your engineering’s request.
Most ID, they have channels or contract with MFG or AD for special offer
Actually for common connectors, for example MOLEX, JST, ID’s price is much lower than AD, not all the parts, but you can try and will see ID’s amazing price.
We all know that different AD, countries, country of origin, different clients every different quantity, one connector’s price will be different.
But most of buyer, is very very busy and work under high pressure, really do not have too much time to compare with all sources, but one ID could do this for you.
With above all information, I think we’ve already know the service about ID, I know that if clients send email to HTG ELECTRONICS, usually could get reply within 2 hours during working time, and HTG have extra added value, like combine shipment, free warehouse, keep buffer stock, HTG offer one-stop purchasing service.
The most important thing for all buyers is QUALITY
In HTG：
Firstly, all their shipment come from original mfg, authorized distributor, OEM factory or own clients, all sources could be trusted.
Secondly, they can ship to testing organization if requested by clients.
Thirdly they have policy in invoice to protect client’ right, shipment could be return and they will refund customer if there is any quality issue
With above all information, are you going to try about ?
