Benefits of partnering with Africa Fair

There are a number of challenges faced by international buyers sourcing fine art and handmade designer craft from Southern Africa.

Africa Fair will help you overcome these issues:

• We provide one point of contact when sourcing items from different suppliers in South Africa.
• There are a wide variety of products from which to choose, we have an intimate knowledge of designers across South Africa and help you to source those that will best fulfill your buying brief.
• Many South African suppliers are not aware of the requirements of international buyers for labeling and packaging. We ensure the suppliers meet these.
• Communication from a foreign country can at times be challenging. Some suppliers don't have email or faxes. We have set up communications networks to allow us to overcome these challenges.
• Quality control is critical to ensure you do not pay for goods that are not up to standard. We provide this service before payment and shipping.
• There is a unique socio-economic environment in South Africa and we help to bridge the differences between the art and craft world in South Africa and the international business world. We understand the potential capacity of production and assist in determining if a supplier is over promising on delivery.
• Consolidation of shipments from various suppliers assists in reducing shipping costs. Africa Fair has a warehousing and crating facility to help achieve efficiency for international shipping.
