Why Global Sourcing Without a Partner Creates Risk
In today’s packaging landscape, global sourcing is often pitched as the answer to every problem—from skyrocketing tariffs to rising material costs. But for most packaging resellers, global sourcing without a real partner is a ticking time bomb.
Why?
Because you’re not just sourcing products—you’re managing risks, relationships, regulations, and reputation. And without someone truly in your corner, on the ground, making sure things run right, you're playing a dangerous game with your customers and your margins.
Lack of On-the-Ground Oversight
Most packaging resellers claim to "source globally." But here's what they don’t tell you:
They’re using third-party brokers.
They rely on emails and PDFs, not people and proof.
They haven’t seen the factory—let alone audited it.
This leads to late shipments, wrong materials, missing certifications, and zero accountability when things go south.
At DavidMarinac.com, we have our own offices overseas, with our own full-time staff and quality inspectors. We’re not guessing—we’re verifying every detail in person.
Confusing Pricing, Currency Fluctuations, and Unexpected Costs
Global sourcing without structure opens you up to:
Most resellers pass these problems on to their customers—or worse, they eat the losses themselves.
We don’t play that game.
At DavidMarinac.com, we quote in U.S. dollars and control the process from factory floor to your loading dock. You get clear pricing, clear terms, and no nasty surprises.
No Quality Guarantees or Direct Accountability
Here’s the harsh truth: when things go wrong, most global suppliers disappear. And if you found your factory through Alibaba or a friend of a friend, you’re out of luck.
Your rep won’t answer.
The 1-800 number is disconnected.
You’re left holding the bag—literally.
We’re different.
Every order we manage is backed by a 100% quality guarantee—because we own the process. We inspect every run, manage every shipment, and ensure delivery to your customer’s door. No finger-pointing. Just results.
