Selecting the right online supplier for your sex-toy business

The sex toy industry plays host to a wide range of product suppliers. However, selecting the right company can often prove tricky. We review the adult marketplace and ascertain what characteristics make for a trustworthy and reputable wholesale sex toy supplier. Within this article, we'll assess the merits of four different competitors.

Alibaba & AliExpress

A universally recognized name, the web pages operating under the Alibaba banner are some of the most visited online. The site tends to offer excellent value and has a vast choice of products across several industries.

However, given that it doesn't specialize in adult toys, wholesale or otherwise, users should approach with relative caution. Furthermore, the platform permits any private seller to trade goods freely and therefore increases the risk of sub-par quality. However, there is a vetting process in place to mitigate against this.

It's perhaps also worth noting that the site contributes a cut of its annual turnover towards environmental conservation efforts.

SexToyDistributing.com

This leading purveyor of adult toys has an extensive list of items available for its wholesale customers. Their ability to catalog unique and decidedly risqué products often separates them from their competitors. Large-format sex machines and 'home party' packages are just a couple of the more ambitious items ranged.

However, pricing is inaccessible for those not registered to the site. This means casual browsing can become frustrating, as there is no way to compare its value against other competitors.

Deliveries are impressively free of charge when customers purchase in considerable bulk. However, their customer service level agreement timeframes are not advertised, so it is difficult to know if and when issues should be addressed.

SexToyUnion.com

This site offers customers an incredibly user-friendly experience, with clearly categorized signposts for all stocked products.

However, its most tangible advantage is its value position. The company's wholesale sex toy clients benefit from a market-leading price without compromising product quality. Although bulk discounts aren't customarily applied, deals are embedded into individual item order quantities. Furthermore, there are usually no minimum order quantities applied. So, the more you buy, the more you save! Importantly, no registration is required in the process of viewing this pricing structure.  

The website also offers a premium customer service proposition that swiftly addresses any queries or feedback.

PinkCherryWholesale.com

A U.S-based wholesaler, PinkCherryWholesale.com presents an extremely well-organized site with an impressive range to match. The site often lands seasonal and lifestyle initiatives, such as erotic gift ideas for Valentine's Day or pride-themed products for the LGBT community.

Another strong feature of the site is the ability for customers to shop by brand. This is particularly useful when repeatedly purchasing items created by reputable and trustworthy producers.

However, similar to SexToyDistributing.com, the site does not facilitate easy price browsing. To access pricing information, page visitors must register an account.
