Purchasing Agent Services

Product Description We provide purchasing agent services to importers worldwide of all products manufactured in the United States. Product Feature WHY YOU NEED A BUYING AGENT IN UNITED STATES The manufacturer may not always be the place to get the best prices. New products, as well as used are frequently available as a result of: 1. dissolution of a corporation which is storing new equipment 2. bankruptcy reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws ( a debtor in possession negotiating settlement) 3. auction of equipment to settle unpaid liens. 4. Over production 5. mislabeling, faulty packaging etc. which have no effect on the quality of the contents. 6. Changes in plans the buyer had when buyer made the purchase. Many American companies do not know how to export or have no experience with exporting. These companies sell their products to intermediaries for a fraction of the price these intermediaries charge you. We can buy for you at this "internal" price. Frequently we can arrange terms other than Letter of Credit payable on demand.
