Where does the number come from?
Prioritize using the WhatsApp you specify on the other party’s official website or public phone page. What Chuhai Qiao displays is a public phone number and official website. It does not guarantee that the number has WhatsApp activated, nor does it provide a private email address to "match the number."
When opening the official website in search results, the Contact page often contains phone calls and instant messaging at the same time. Calling first, and then adding the request after the clerk agrees, is less likely to be blocked than sending a group request directly.
What to write in the first message
Short: store name + category + whether samples can be sent. Don’t dump ten pictures and all quotes at once. The development letter structure can be reused development letter points, but WhatsApp is shorter.
Countries have different regulations on commercial messages and you need to comply with them yourself. Don’t apply again after being rejected.
