Thanks! But www.westmarine.com offers just one collor of MFP rope and sailrite.com carry only a few collors of nylon webbing. I need at least 10 and in each width.
Yes, I know that. Actually I've tried to look at alibaba. I've even tried to mail some sellers. But there are some substantial difficulties(at least they look this way for me). First of all, their MOQ starts from 1000-3000 yards/meters per each width per each color (rarely from 500 yards/meters, all webb that I was interested in starts from 2000-3000). So if I need 10 colors in 3 width it's miles and miles of webbing(3*10*3000=90000 yards). Second, those suppliers that I spoke with send sample only if I place an order or pay some sum for samples (and judging of their product by low res. photos I had doubts that it was what I was looking for). Third all chinese sellers want to ship by DHL or Fedex, so shipping from China to Europe (I'm from there) become much more costly than from US. I wanted to buy some metal hardware and shipping cost prevailed over cost of the harware itself. Forths, they often confuse in product specification, even in sizes, one time they say one thing, other's - completely different. It looks like they are trying to tell me what I wanted to hear. And it just don't create trust, only provokes doubts. Maybe it just my few cases and they are exclusions.
I understand that when you order an container from China it's much more beneficial but for now for my volume (a few thouthand of bucks) I'm not sure. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? What is your experience with chinese suppliers? Did you buy from there nylon webbing or polypropylene rope?
Overstock? Do you mean some particular sites or brick and mortar stores?
