Are You a Low-Priority Client? Spot These Red Flags!

Lara Guevara identifies five signs a supplier sees you as low-priority: replies taking three-plus days, sudden MOQ enforcement, inconsistent batch quality, late delay notices, and no proactive warnings. Spot these early to renegotiate or find a new supplier.

Now, how does this show up in real life? If you're seeing these patterns, you really need to pay attention to these things. If the supplier replies, take 3 days plus moqs suddenly become non negotiable and then quality varies batch to batch. Delays are not communicated after they've already happened. And then nobody proactively warns you about issues. So these aren't random problems, they're signals.
