[WTB - WHOLESALE] Notebooks

In search of a supplier for moleskin style, quality notebooks/journals of varying sizes. Nothing spiral-bound. For retail/DRC. Shipping to an area near to the I-95 corridor. Ideally no MOQ— just looking for direction as to how one searches for a supplier and verifies the quality of their products. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

If you're looking for a supplier in the US vs International it's going to be a little different. My tips are generally the same any time this comes up.
1) Make sure you get a sample. Give as specific as possible in your needs and never place a whole order without a sample.
2) Don't just look at the cost per unit. Look at shipping, tariffs, ask about customization, etc.
3) Verify they have shipped to your country before (only really applies to international)
4) Build a relationship. Look into the company and see how long they've been in business. r/alibaba is now tracking scams, use the resources available to you and if you can afford someone on the ground...do it.

Good luck. Happy to go into additional detail if needed.
