Sourcing tempered glass screen protector from China is definitely a good idea.

If you put a sincere effort to improve relation with your supplier then it is you who will be in a far better position from your competitors. Learn their culture and always keep them informed about your business goals.
Appoint a Chinese Agent:
Language can become a big barrier at the start. So, you need to appoint a person whom you can trust or who has a strong reputation of dealing with Chinese supplier with honesty. There are agents or inspectors who will only give nothing but the truth. He or she will take all the responsibilities from inspection to delivery of your tempered glass screen protector and at the same time keep an excellent rapport with your supplier on behalf of you.
Pay Visit to your Supplier
You can either meet your supplier in the factory or you can at least meet them at the Canton fair. This is important to maintain a cordial relationship in business. Remember, physical presence does make an ever-lasting impact. So, try to schedule your trip to China at least once in two year, provided you have already worked with your tempered glass screen protector supplier for a year.
While visiting the factory just make sure that it is not coinciding with the production process of your order (i.e. your lot of tempered glass screen protector). You can learn a lot about manufacturing process and share your ideas about your next product order and how you want it to be customized. If possible try to arrange a new order and wire-transfer the money; this will surely cement your business relationship in much stronger way.
Accept Invitation to Lunch or Dinner
There are of course some plus points if you are a good buyer to you Chinese factory owner who is supplying you with tempered glass screen protector. Once the discussion, factory visit and other official works are over your factory owner will surely invite you to dine with him or with the entire family of his. Do not turn down his offer just because you think that language can be a big barrier but you can always overcome it with time and heartfelt sincerity. If the owner is impressed by your presence and conversation then you can get extra benefit for all the orders that you are going to place in the future. Suppose – You want to build a special type of tempered glass screen protector with features like – 9H or 9H+ hardness, thickness of 0.3 mm, high-quality adhesive, strong shatter-proof quality, a good Oleophobic coating which can prevent dust and oil from the surface and excellent touch sensitivity when you run your fingers over the smartphone. You want to create your own brand, you want a special packaging so that it looks better from the word go. Everything will be possible and you will get everything within time as the owner of the factory will honour the friendship and good relationship with you.
Explain the reason of your rejection
No supplier or factory owner wants to take no or rejection of their product as the end result. But you too have a reputation to maintain yet you do not want to ruin the relationship with your supplier. In this condition it is always better to explain the reasons on the basis of which you are rejecting the consignment. Rational reasoning will always help you to make things easier for both you and your supplier.
You can always start this from the beginning i.e. at the time of selection of your supplier. You may get huge number of quotation yet not all of them are as good as you think they should be. Just send an explanatory e-mail to each of the supplier whom you are not going to select. Be more specific to those whom you think have the capabilities yet may be out by a fraction. They will be good for your future need, if in any case your chosen supplier falters due to some inexplicable and unavoidable reasons. At the end it is you who will enjoy the benefit of good relation with your supplier.
