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.
02Understand minimum quantities
Minimum quantities may vary by colour, size or branding. Ask whether the minimum applies to the whole order or to each variant.
03Compare quotations
Ask for a breakdown of goods, branding, samples, setup and shipping costs. Specify currency and quote validity.
04Assess 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.
05Order a sample
Specify whether the sample should show the standard product or your customised version. Confirm cost, shipping and timing before dispatch.
06Prepare custom branding
Provide usable logo artwork and specify colours, sizes and positions. Ask the supplier for required file formats.
07Plan shipping
Ask for final packed weight and volume, estimated dispatch date and shipping stages. Distinguish production time from transit time.
08Plan quality checks
Define acceptable criteria and defects requiring correction in writing: dimensions, colour, function, finish and packaging.
09Understand 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.
10Plan your first order
Start with a volume that fits your budget and storage capacity. Budget for total costs, checks and contingencies.
11Choose 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.
12Amazon 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.
13Your 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.
