Using LC (Letter of Credit) as payment terms is common in international trade because it protects buyers by ensuring payment only happens when goods are shipped and shipped correctly. CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) means the seller covers shipping costs and insurance to the destination port, which reduces risk for the buyer. The port is not specified, which makes it harder to assess shipping times or logistics — always confirm the port before finalizing a deal. Accepting USD makes transactions easier for global buyers, as it's widely used and stable in international trade. Most suppliers respond to inquiries within 24-72 hours, so a 165-hour response time is extremely slow and may indicate poor customer service or lack of operational focus. This delay can cause delays in order processing and reduce buyer confidence. Buyers should verify if the supplier has a dedicated support team or if the response time is due to other operational issues.
