What's the first thing you evaluate after choosing a new supplier

Imagine you've finally selected a manufacturer and the pricing looks good.

From a logistics perspective, what's the very next thing you verify before placing an order?

I've been comparing suppliers through platforms like Made-in-China.com, and it made me realize that selecting a supplier is only the beginning. Freight planning, Incoterms, lead times, customs documentation, and inventory timing can all change whether the decision was actually a good one.

Curious what logistics professionals prioritize first once procurement is complete.
