Why it matters
Surat's saree trade runs on habits that are obvious to people inside it and invisible to everyone else. Most problems a new buyer runs into are not disputes about quality; they are mismatched expectations about quantity, payment and dispatch.
The short version
- Settle the unit of sale first — catalog or piece
- Get fabric name, weight and work type stated, not assumed
- Fix payment terms before production, not after
- Confirm who books transport and who bears the risk in transit
- Keep a written record of the order, even on a phone message
