User Experience:
We are dealing with Indian and Chinese suppliers (most of them direct manufacturers) on ingredients for the food industry and raw material for the plastic industry.
On past September 2016 we consulted some HDPE manufacturers we know and some other we never deal with to compare their prices. After long negotiations with some of them Nanning Cheng-Tong lmp & Exp Trading Co.,Ltd. (Mr Abner King) offered us the best conditions. We lodge an order for 100 MT of HDPE multimodal packed in 25kg WPP bags valid Under the strict conditions to receive first 100 kg sample to test it in real production. We paid to this supplier end of November 2016 the sum of US$250 by bank transfer to get the required 100 kg HDPE delivered to our Qingdao (China) office. Once the money received by this supplier, we had to recall every day him. He promised 2 times to take care of the delivery. Afterwards no answer anymore and of course no sample released yet to our Qingdao office !!! After we check in China inland but nobody at the address showed in the 2 websites and letterhead of the company. We verified again and found that the company is still registered in Nanning but nobody seems to exist!

User Recommendations:
In international business better to check twice with whom we are dealing and to meet the responsibilities of the company before to lodge an order or pay even one cent.
