What should I write in my first message to a supplier?
Say who you are, what item you want, how many you would buy to start, and ask for the rate list, the minimum order and the delivery time. A specific message gets a faster and better answer than just asking for the rate. The Ask for rates message does this for you, and you can add a photo of the item.
How do I ask a wholesaler for a lower price?
Thank them for the rate, say you like the quality, then give one quantity and one price you can order at. A clear offer is easier to accept than a general request to reduce. Suppliers are more open when you order more or keep ordering, so say so. If they do not agree, ask for their best final rate for that quantity.
Should I write to my supplier in English, Roman Urdu or Urdu?
Write in the language your supplier writes back in. Many suppliers are comfortable in Roman Urdu on WhatsApp, and some prefer Urdu script or English. All three are on this page, so you can switch the tab and copy the one that suits.
How do I ask a supplier for credit or payment terms?
Ask after a few good orders, not on the first one. Offer something fair, like part advance and the rest on delivery, and say when you can send the first payment. The Payment terms message suggests 50% advance and weekly or 15-day payment later. Change those numbers to what you can really do.
What should I do if the supplier sends damaged or wrong stock?
Film yourself opening the parcel, take clear photos of the problem pieces, and keep the courier receipt. Message the supplier the same day with the photos and say whether you want a replacement or an adjustment in the amount. The Defective stock message is written for this.
Does this tool send the message to my supplier?
No. It writes the message in your browser and you copy it into WhatsApp, SMS or email yourself. Nothing is uploaded. Everything you type here except the date is kept in this browser, so the next message is faster. To clear it, delete the text in the fields or clear this site’s data in your browser settings.
