oJ mA They brung some samples for us to make the quotation. And the total quanitity will be 80 000pcs.

(T+M a2[ s/R$N7Y+d But you know, the time we met is 5:30 afternoon. When we agreed is 4:00, because of the heavy rain, and we was waiting for them at the hotel for a long time,then picked them up to our factory.  Therefore, when we finish our meeting, it almost 6:30.  It was very late, but we should also take some time to finish the order. So, they left the sample at our factory, and we took them to the hotel.1r,W wK2[N

.o!n[Lu` Our factroy director told me after they has gone. They were very single-hearted for this deal. Of course, if they are not such single-hearted, why should they leave the samples here. I see that they need them for other company quotting it.

But the thing is, the price is too high, the average price is 6.5RMB, just for one box?

When I send them the quotation. They told me that the price is too high, and let me down the price first, what I got from our factory director is 6.2RMB, it was the lowest one.

I know that many customers alway say the price is high, then get better price. But to the effect that our factory's price is one of the highest one, I had done a tast before. I posted one buying lead, and got the prices from many other factories as well as our factory. Our factory's price is almost two times than others. S!l5MF1uB~4^

How can I stand it, do they think there are many chances for us to meet customer? Especially foreigners? 1};c?|'d-`

O"phl s:@ U They are the really single-hearted customer. Because they had been in China for twice since I knew them 4 monthes ago. We could not meet at first time, then we promise each other that we must have a meet this time.

OK, now, they told me that they should get the decision from their boss. I am afraid that I will lose this customer because not only our high price, but also the fluctuation of exchange rate, the exchange rate will push our price to be much higher than ours. 9gMt!i"N8m$C7@'Dc

How should I do now? +w1zS3G5Qab VyM

Any suggestions there?

If it's possible,i would like to buy from other factory's for this customer,but dont let them to  know it or get the permission from them that i will buy from others for them in lower price,so it depends.

{#Cc0r"v but I am really confused that why your price is twice as other suppliers,even the quality is much different,but you can't competite with other factories.9H%P6[1BXS3[

PS: It is very clever for LZ to post one buying lead on B2B to get the prices from others.:lol

_?,yD`DX3@ But the sample are in our factory, if I am prepared to get a better quotation from otheres, I should show them the sample. But the sample are very big. It is not easy to get it out of the factory. So, that is a question for getting the exact price.RZ)dY0fX

WAt5M!]$Q"t Another situation is that maybe 2 or 3 monthes ago, some of my colleagues have been fired because they buy goods from other factory, then sold to their customers. And our factory has put someone into Police. They did not let her go until she hand out all the money.

It seems difficult to earn the order from the customers because of prices,even they are single-hearted,just tell the director all the situation and see.

You are saying something to my heart, my buddy !!!

The reason why our price is nearly double higher than others is most of our goods produced by other companies. Even though we are a factory, just a little products we can produce by ourself....Y-D2F2|C6~

2?2R1e9R0h)s` I remember that one of my customer asked me "Is your company really a factory?"&lu9}Z{

%N WpP)S I wonder whether his company reall cancel this projest or he just takes this chance to let me know that he has decided buy the goods from another factory because of our high price?
