The Smart Buyer’s Checklist: Sourcing Quality Adult Products for Small Batch Retail

Sourcing products for your intimate wellness store can feel daunting. With so many suppliers online, how do you separate the professional partners from the unreliable ones? This is especially critical when you’re ordering in smaller quantities.

Use this checklist to ensure you’re building a relationship with a reputable supplier.

Your 5-Point Sourcing Checklist:

1. Transparency on Materials and Compliance:
   • Always ask for material certifications. Body-safe silicone is a must.
   • Ensure products meet key international standards like CE, RoHS, and FDA standards (for relevant components). A trustworthy supplier will provide these documents willingly.
2. Clear & Flexible MOQ Policies:
   • Beware of hidden costs or unclear policies. What is the real MOQ per product? per order?
   • A good partner for small businesses will have a clear, flexible MOQ structure that allows for product variety.
3. A Comprehensive Catalog with Bestsellers:
   • Do they offer a range of proven products? A supplier with a well-structured catalog can provide data on trending items, helping you make smarter buying decisions.
   • Look for a mix of classic bestsellers and innovative new designs.
4. Robust Support Beyond the Sale:
   • Do they offer responsive pre-sales and after-sales support?
   • Can they provide high-resolution product images, detailed descriptions, and marketing content to help you sell? This support is invaluable for small teams.
5. Streamlined Logistics and Shipping:
   • How do they handle shipping, especially for smaller international orders?
   • Ask about their process, trusted shipping partners, and their ability to ensure discreet and reliable delivery.
