Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone use main deal apparel before. I've contacted them and talk a little. The staff seems friendly and very negotiable on shipping and price wise, though we haven't went into details on the exact price. They however seems to give bigger discount if ordering in bulk which isn't stated on the website.

However, all their clothing products are not associated with any brands. Am I safe to sell their stuffs? What kind of questions should I ask them?

I also ordered a 6-pieces wholesale from them last week. It should come tomorrow so I can check on the quality.

Thanks,

Jack

Hi Jack,

I haven't used Main Deal myself and I see that their listing is currently unrated but we have not received any serious complaints about this supplier from other SaleHoo members so far.

As with most wholesale suppliers, the more you order, the larger the discount. However, if you are not sure about a supplier or before you begin using a supplier, do a sample order first before you do a bulk purchase.

Yes you can sell their products. An item doesn’t have to have a brand name to sell well. Non-branded goods can also do well. Plus they are much cheaper to buy. Here are some questions I lifted from the User Manual -

1. How do I go about applying to be a reseller? (If this is not already clear on their website).
2. Where do I see a full list of your inventory and wholesale pricing?
3. Do you have a minimum order quantity, if so, what is it?
4. What is the typical retail mark-up on your products?
5. Am I allowed to sell your products on eBay? If yes, do you also sell on eBay – will I be competing against you?
6. What are inventory levels like throughout the year?
7. How often do you update your stock level data? Where can I find this?
8. What is the processing time like on an order?
9. How much will it cost to get my order shipped to me?
10. Do you allow pickups?
11. What are your returns/warranties policies?
12. Can you make recommendations on what products in your range will be hot sellers?
13. Can you offer any sales and marketing advice?
14. If drop shipping – what is the procedure to place a drop ship order?
15. If using a liquidator – ask if you can inspect the merchandise, or get an inventory list and photos. Liquidation lots can vary in quality, so make sure you are very careful to ask about the condition of what you are intending to buy.
16. What is the best way to get in touch with you again if I have a question or problem?

If you haven't already done so, download a copy of the SaleHoo User Manual, you'll find it useful -

All the best!

Hi Jack,

Has your order arrived yet? If has, do post a review on the supplier's profile page, Link hidden: Login to view - It would be really nice to read about your buying experience and at the same time your review will help other members too!

Looking forward to hearing from you! Cheers :)

yea the order arrived. Took about 10 days.
Seem to package really nice, no wonder why shipping was expensive $14. Quality is only alright. If you don't mind, i'll post a review after I visit their store in a week or so. I want to see what else they have. My uncle lives 15 mins away from them so I'll let him take the trip :).

They seem very responsive through emails and phones tho. My emails were answered quickly. The guy on the phone was also very nice. If you order in big bulk, shipping will be free according to him. Anyways, once I visit the store, I'll post a more extensive review on the directory.
