- Indians like to place large orders for lowest price. They will configure the order, so that everything is customized for them (less suitable for others). Eg $100
- After placing $20 deposits, they will forfeit the purchase and balance payment. You can keep contacting them but they wun pay.
- Knowing that supplier is stuck with the huge order, after a few months, they will get their proxy to low-ball supplier and buy for $50.
Always happen in my industry.
When you deal with Indians from India, from USA, from UK, only sell them ex-stock and only release cargo upon receipt of full payment. They can smoke you with a huge order for best price, but ask yourself where will they sell to? Just sell your ex-stock, don't be greedy.
Do not customize anything for them, sure die.
