There is a growing demand for educational equipments which include exercise books, pens, chalks, spiral binders, computer stationery, text books, college books etc which is a very good opportunity for online wholesalers. But this also comes as a challenge to the sector as there is a lot of competition in the online business. There are so many IT equipment Wholesalers in the online business such that the internet stores have to offer very low prices.
Other challenges they face include the risk of getting orders made through fraudulent credit cards. You may incur a lot of loses when you have supplied wholesale stationery only to realize that the credit card that was issued online was a fraud. It becomes extremely difficult to track down the owner and even if you do you will have wasted a lot of time and money. IT equipment wholesalers also face the challenges of having their equipments returned back may be because they are faulty or failed to work as expected. This will incur the online wholesalers extra expenses especially if they offered money back guarantees to their customers. Other challenge that cannot pass unnoticed with Educational suppliers is the risk of supplying unapproved schools equipments and stationery. The wholesaler might not have the exact specifications for the school, college or university requirements only to have the goods rejected after they have been purchased online and delivered to the respective clients.
