Supplier questions
Who is Corda International?
A UK importer and brand owner. We buy finished consumer products and sell them to UK customers online under brands we own.
What size are your first orders?
We do not place a bulk order to test. We start by dropshipping: you ship single units direct to our UK customers as orders come in. When a product sells, we move to regular bulk orders.
Do I need to offer dropshipping to work with you?
For the test stage, yes, either yourself or through a fulfilment agent. If you only sell in bulk, tell us in the form and we will keep your details for products that have already passed testing.
Do you pay for samples?
Yes. We pay for samples and sample shipping.
What are your payment terms?
Payment terms are agreed in writing before each order. We are happy to use secure payment methods that protect both sides.
Who arranges shipping?
The supplier. During testing you ship each order direct to the UK customer with tracking. For bulk orders we buy delivered duty paid (DDP) to a UK address.
Do you need private label?
Yes. See our Sourcing Agents page.
Do you work with sourcing agents as well as factories?
Yes. See our Sourcing Agents page.
I make a product that is not on your list. Should I still apply?
Yes. We buy across many consumer product types. Choose the closest option or 'Other consumer product' and tell us about it.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within two working days for every suitable application.
