4. Quality Assurance: Quality is the core competitiveness of the foreign trade company of eyeglasses, guaranteeing the quality of products and conforming to international standards is the key to winning the trust of customers.
Throughout the whole eyeglasses sales market, the yield rate of global eyeglasses is still very low. For example, the frames are easy to shrink, deformation, etc., the lens coating is easy to come off or not resistant to scratches. Due to the huge consumer demand, mass production, large volume shipments, and time requirements (fast production), the fine processing will inevitably affect the order delivery time, as well as the reduction of workers’ income and other issues. But for the glasses buyers, if the glasses do not have very good workmanship, consumer complaints will increase, which also leads to buyers seeking a new supplier of glasses, which is a loss for the glasses foreign trade companies, because the product yield is low, customer loyalty will be very low.

6.
