Forms of Distribution Channels

 

Source Intermediaries or “Middlemen”   Advantages   Disadvantages
Distributors Buy and resell goods. Accept orders and payment. Assume warranty responsibility. May offer customer training.     Handle cultural, commercial, and technical problems. If delivery in United States, payment in dollars, standard terms. Simple handling of product defects.     Among the most costly sources; buyer pays both manufacturer’s and distributor’s profit and overhead. Probably foreign currency, L/C terms. (Letter of credit)  
Manufacturer’s Representatives Accept orders on behalf of a source; receive commission for the service. May provide technical and commercial support.       Handle cultural, commercial, and technical problems. Generally less expensive to use than a distributor.       Payment in foreign currency. L/C terms if a foreign rep. company. Bears no warranty liability; little use in dealing with defects.  
Brokers Bring together parties to a transaction for a fee. Services vary widely.     Least expensive intermediary. Wide range of services possible. May have wide contacts in the industry. Most willing to negotiate.     Least responsible for source or product performance, warranty. Probably little technical support. Foreign currency, L/C terms probable.  
Trading Companies Broad scope of activities from brokering, representation, distribution, program management.     Worldwide contacts, broadest scope of sources. Experience and capability. Few cultural or language problems.     Generally a costly alternative. Most prefer to trade in existing markets or to make a market for new product, not to deal in isolated inquiries. Because of their scale, most buyers have little leverage.
