1. Q: How can I choose a qualified supplier from those who quoted?
A: You can analyze and compare quotations received according to your target prices to choose a reasonable one. The super low quoted prices are always a trap which you need to be careful.You should be cautious for Quotation received from a Personal Email Address. Personal emails accounts cannot be traced once problems occurred.

2. Q: How to verify the reliability of suppliers?
A: First, you must check them in our reported company (http://www.seekic.com/reported/). Second, you must verify the material of supplier including telephone number, email address and company information. What is more, it is also very important to ask us for the truth and reliability of your supplier, and we will reply you on the background of the suppliers ASAP. Please send your query to service@seekic.com, if it is necessary.

3. Q: What is the best way to avoid being cheated by vendor during transaction?
A: Except verifying the truth and reliability of suppliers, you should also pay attention to the payment terms.
If the vendor just pay attention to your deposit, and just accept wire transfer other than any other payment method such as NET or Escrow, you must be vigilant. You must verify the reliability of your supplier before releasing the deposit.
If the vendor asks you to send money to personal bank accounts or an account whose real owner cannot be traced, you must be vigilant. For example, you cannot trace the real name of the person behind an account with a wiring service such as Western Union. Meanwhile, you must be cautious if the bank account is located in a different country than the shipping address.
Of course, it is more secure to ask for payment through L/C or Escrow Service, which can make sure that your money is secure in all cases.
You can ask for samples to make sure the products are the one that you need. If they refuse, you also must be cautious.

4.Q: What else should I pay attention to?
A: There are three aspects u should attach importance to.
You must pay attention to check our reported company in our website (http://www.seekic.com/reported/). We will publish this company in time, so you must check it before placing orders.
You should choose the secure payment methods. SeekIC provides Escrow service, which can reduce the dispute of transaction and save the cost of transaction. You can consult us about escrow service by the email service@seekic.com.
And please do mention clearly about the guarantee period, change of the goods and other details within your PO and PI with the vendor which will become the proof if problems occurred.
