9 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SOURCING A LINE AT MAGIC:

getting started

Need help finding factories or manufacturers?

Take advantage of our complimentary matchmaking program.

LEARN MORE ON PAGE 4 » » »

Before you speak with a potential vendor, you should know your order quantity per style, when the order needs to be received at your warehouse, and the maximum per unit cost you can pay to achieve your profit margin.

Find out if the potential vendor has a minimum purchase requirement. If the requirements are higher than what you need, walk away.

It’s best to get pricing quoted on a FOB or LDP your warehouse basis— meaning the freight costs are pre-built into the price.

Factories need a tech pack and a working sample to do their best work— so bring both with you to MAGIC.

Prior to ordering, confirm with the factory what deviation from the approved sample you will accept.

Agree on firm delivery and cancel dates.

Request a pre-production sample and a top of production sample once the order is in process.

Ensure that before the goods are shipped that they are inspected for quality control.

Inspect and count the goods as soon as you receive them— any problems must be communicated to the factory at once.
