First of all, I would like to correct the original poster. The business of chemical raw materials is not just about plastics. They are two different things.

There are two channels for purchasing plastics. The first is to purchase from factories, and the second is to purchase from traders. If your quantity is relatively small, it is recommended that you get the goods from traders. There are many traders who are pouring plastic. For large orders, get the goods from factories or import them from abroad and distribute them domestically.

When you say placing an order, I understand it means placing an order? Generally, factories have inventory, and your transactions are all spot delivery, and there is no ordering. If the goods are relatively tight, and you are not familiar with the factory, even if you place an order, you will not be able to pick up the goods, because Factories are not trustworthy. When they have the goods for you, it means they have inventory, and the price will definitely not be good at that time. .

There is another purchasing method, which is not recommended for those who are new to the industry. It is to go long in electronic futures. You can look at the Dalian Commodity Exchange or the Zhejiang Plastic Electronic Trading Market in Zhejiang Plastic City. .

Furthermore, you need to understand that the raw materials for plastics are nothing more than propylene and ethylene, both of which are downstream products of petroleum. Prices fluctuate greatly, so you must be fully aware of the risks.

Finally, there are many types of plastics, including general plastics, PVC, PP, PE, engineering plastics, ABS, etc. Which one are you talking about? This is to ask your downstream factory that receives goods what it wants.
