Incoterms 101: EXW is not the same as FOB, and why DDP beats CIF!
Hello readers! With some time on my hands today, let’s explore incoterms for PPE shipments (because this is after all a PPE blog). This applies to import and exports in general, of course. This reminds me of when some international customers previously requested I make enquiries with Anny Gloves Thailand (what we now know to be a scam company alongside Skymed) – and the boss lady, or should I say…

The Truth About FlowFlex COVID Test Kit Allocations - US Bound/USA Inventory
The Truth About FlowFlex COVID Test Kit Allocations – US Bound/USA Inventory
It’s actually with alot of reluctance that I’m writing this post about FlowFlex ATKs or ARTs to USA for several reasons. Unfortunately, I’m seeing a familiar pattern in some of the ATKs on the market, particularly the “FlowFlex” brand that’s taking on much similarity with the 3M masks and Cranberry Gloves which, though are indeed genuine and high quality products, were victims of market…

How (Unscrupulous) PPE Suppliers Make Money By Defaulting Orders
How (Unscrupulous) PPE Suppliers Make Money By Defaulting Orders
I should have understood this long ago. But when a trusted procurement partner recently explained this in detail to me, I finally got the concept as to why some unscrupulous PPE suppliers actually make money by never delivering orders (or so it seems!). This is especially relevant in the latest hot PPE commodity – Antigen Rapid Test Kits! Picture: Covid Antigen Test Kits – For Immediate Sale.…

What’s Hot and What’s Cold in PPE Supplies Right Now? Some short answers for you: What’s hot = PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and ATK (Antigen Testing Kit) Self-Test Kits. What’s cold = nitrile gloves. 3-ply masks. What’s warm =…

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla FBI Arrest and Fraud Hoax - The Target of Fake News?
#pfizerhoax #pfizerceoarrest #pfizervaccine
Last Friday, I received a forwarded article from a friend regarding the FBI arrest of Pfizer CEO, Albert Bourla for fraud charges and was thrilled. Firstly, I thought, that’s great. Someone really deserves to go to jail for such an over-hyped and worthless vaccine, which many real-life scenarios have proven that not only did the Pfizer vaccine not provide protection against the subsequent strains…

Understanding Cranberry Evolve 300 Glove Deal Commission Structures
Understanding Cranberry Evolve 300 Glove Deal Commission Structures
Welcome to the confusing world of Cranberry Evolve 300 OTG and Pre-Order commission structures! A fellow broker in my regular contacts experienced the same exact confusion on how the commissions work and how much “less” than most are used to, vis-a-vis other glove and PPE deals, and why do all (almost always) have to fall on the buyer’s side, when one would usually think they brought the…

October 4 Global WhatsApp Outage: The Day FB and WhatsApp Gave Us A Break
October 4 Global WhatsApp Outage: The Day FB and WhatsApp Gave Us A Break
October 4 should really be renamed the new “No Phones Day” or even, “No Social Media Day”– as personal and business communication came to an abrupt but “necessary” global halt following hours of service outage from the Facebook-owned apps – Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram – simultaneously went out of service. Picture: No Whatsapp Day. I got this from a facebook page indicating a No WhatsApp day…

Only Fake Buyers Can't Follow SOPs
Only Fake Buyers Can’t Follow SOPs
Fake Buyers in the PPE Industry Recently a friend presented me a buyer mandate who had a “buyer” who had a low target price for fairly large (but still reasonably possible) gloves order. Because I love to work in a process of eliminating objections, I saw this as the key objection, and was able to find him a manufacturer who could produce the required quantity of requested spec of gloves at the…
