Solid platform; straightforward RFQ experiences; great staff
Setting up RFQs on the platform is extremely straightforward, and Haizol's is pro-active at reaching to help you out with anything; In about 24-hours (two parts, one more complex), I had already received >10 quotes for each part - for both initial prototype/sample and various production volume tiers - and started direct contacts with some of the most promising manufacturers for ironing out the details. Overall, the RFQ process was simpler than most of the Europe-based manufacturers I attempted contact with. Additionally, I've had the chance to be invited to attend Haizol's Sourcing Fair in Shanghai; on top of having chances of putting faces behind the website, I was able to visit 7 factories and start building in-person relations with 2 of them whom were specialising in parts very similar to my needs, and discussed with way more in the matchmaking event. Being able to see, first hand, the wild number of manufacturers in China, and thus the high-competitiveness market, bringing many of them to compete on part quality (was able to inspect many parts with various finishes in person), was very revealing!
