JAMA DEALS · THE BUYER’S HANDBOOK

Guides for better prepared purchases

Choose a topic to prepare your shortlist or next supplier quotation request.

Define your requirements

Before looking for a supplier, write a brief covering use, dimensions, materials, quantity and destination. Separate requirements from preferences.

Understand minimum quantities

Minimum quantities may vary by colour, size or branding. Ask whether the minimum applies to the whole order or to each variant.

Compare quotations

Ask for a breakdown of goods, branding, samples, setup and shipping costs. Specify currency and quote validity.

Assess a supplier

Review company information, relevant product experience and the quality of answers. A badge or attractive photograph does not replace checks appropriate to your order.

Order a sample

Specify whether the sample should show the standard product or your customised version. Confirm cost, shipping and timing before dispatch.

Prepare custom branding

Provide usable logo artwork and specify colours, sizes and positions. Ask the supplier for required file formats.

Plan shipping

Ask for final packed weight and volume, estimated dispatch date and shipping stages. Distinguish production time from transit time.

Plan quality checks

Define acceptable criteria and defects requiring correction in writing: dimensions, colour, function, finish and packaging.

Understand our affiliate links

When an offer has an active affiliate link, we may receive a commission on an eligible purchase following your visit. Orders and payments take place on Alibaba or Amazon.fr, depending on the link chosen.

Plan your first order

Start with a volume that fits your budget and storage capacity. Budget for total costs, checks and contingencies.

Choose office accessories on Amazon

Start with the problem to solve: more comfortable work, carrying files or charging devices. Our Amazon.fr selection on Jama Deals separates these uses to help you choose.

Amazon or Alibaba: choose for your needs

For a specific accessory, identify the reference and your criteria: compatibility, quantity, timing and budget. Consult the merchant’s page to confirm current terms.

Your checklist before an international purchase

Product: record the reference, dimensions, version, colour, quantity and included accessories. Check that the listing and order summary describe the same product.
