This final payment also be a requirement to get the B/L documents. 
 
B/L (Bill of Lading) is a document for proof that the goods were shipped. This document is also a proof of ownership of the goods. 
 
Bill of Lading is made by the forwarder and they present it to the exporter if the buyer already pays the final payment. Then the exporter will give the real document to the buyer by DHL or another shipper company. 
 
If you are an importer, you have to show B/L to customs in your country to receive the goods. Without B/L you cannot receive charcoal in the country of arrival. 
 
Because this document is also proof of your ownership. 
 
If you still do not recieve B/L document, the container will stay at the port until you pay the final payment, then you will get penalty cost from the port and burn your cost more.

It’s a reminder that by being reliable and genuine, we contribute to a world where trust becomes a shared currency that strengthens the bonds between us.

At our company, customer satisfaction is not just a goal, it’s the core of our business philosophy. We believe that when our customers are happy, our success naturally follows.

We already have 4 manufacturers right now, we start from scratch.

I mean, logically, why do we have 4 factories? Is it because we scam? Is it because the customer is not happy with us? Is it because customers do not trust us to repeat orders again and again?

We can expand our business because we know that long-term cooperation is the most valuable thing. And by doing it, we have to give customers the best quality, so they can be happy.

2. Quality Guarantee

Quality failure is the majority fear for importers, especially for those who have already been in the charcoal business for a long time.

Some of them purchase products, but then the quality does not meet their standard, or they do not get the exact product quality when they do a sample.

If you are worried about this, then a Product guarantee is the solution. Because if the product is not meet your standard, then with a product guarantee, the supplier has a required sanction whether replace the products or give you a refund.

If the supplier run, then you can report it to the authorities to be followed up. With a product guarantee, everything will be secure and safe.

Product guarantees can be created in quality settlement contracts. it can be an agreement for quality standards.

It also can be a sanction if the supplier has a decreased quality such as having more moisture, more ash content, less calorie, etc.

This will make your product quality consistent. Because suppliers will have to make routine quality control for checking their specifications.

In Littlebriquette, we can do this quality settlement, and a professional supplier will not scared to agree with this agreement proposal.

We also have a “Product Guarantee Letter” which means we already have a product guarantee policy that you can see before we make the quality settlement contract.

You can say agree or disagree with our letter, and if we as both parties already discussed and agree on what the discussion is, we will write the agreement for the quality settlement after you do the first payment.

Many suppliers just make the quality settlement without the need for you to be involved, but with us, we can prepare our quality guarantee agreement before the settlement has been made. And the agreement will be written if the first payment has been send.

However, we share our “Product Guarantee Letter” only with serious customers, as it’s not available for free.

If you order coconut charcoal briquettes from us and they don’t meet the promised specifications, we’ll either replace them or give you a refund.
