What’s so hard nowadays when you are into coal business is to find the real miners. From ten so-called coal suppliers you run into, probably only 1-2 would really make a deal with you. Not to mention that 80% of these deals fail because they aren’t really miners. Most traders and end buyers don’t realize how complicated mafia business in Kalimantan is. Real miners could even sell their papers for some million of Indonesian rupiahs and they could be even partner with the mafias to fool buyers.
This is exactly the reason why nowadays most buyers are extremely cautious with Indonesian miners. However, it’s not always like that. There are also fake buyers so actually to get miners’ trust isn’t as easy as you might think. To build the bridge of trust between real miners and end buyers isn’t easy. It’s very hard..
What you need to know when you are trying to find legitimate supplier is their issue with papers. If they can easily provide you papers by email, it means they aren’t legitimate miners. Real miners get tempted by those fakers who can buy the copy of their papers for millions of rupiah each page.
Usually if the miners are real, they won’t share their papers to anyone but only to end buyers because they know the papers can be misused for something else (which eventually would damage their mine reputation).
However, bad people always have new tricks to fool miners. Sometimes they are just traders who tell their miners “hi, i have a buyer but he needs your papers first before we can meet him”…then the miner provides him with all of his papers. Instead of doing it right, the trader then copy and manipulate the name on the papers so the buyers would be fooled.
They run after they get some bit of money. This is why 90% of miners you find on the net are fake. They have the miner papers but they sell it for their own pocket.
This is where you can count on us. We DO have the miner papers because we are in contract with them. We have been dealing a lot of deal with them since years ago and at the moment we have 4 mines in contract with us. However, trust can be gained only when we meet in real life.
That’s why we always want to deal like this..
1. You give us the LOI complete with the company name of the buyer (LOI must be issued by the buyer)
2. If our miner can meet your specification, we will then reply in FCO that we can meet you in person and discuss contract draft.
3. You schedule a meeting with us in Jakarta and you can see COA, BL, company profile summary, draft contract, and other needed documents.
4. After draft contract signed by both miner and end buyer, we will check site on Kalimantan
We can make sure that we would supply coal as honest as we can. Just contact us now and let’s start our business together..
Remember: Shipping term must be FOB MV, payment by LC must be 100% at sight, and we only take orders based on GCV ADB.
If you disagree with what I write above, please don’t bother your time contacting me since I won’t reply your email. Also if you still insist in contacting us but your LOI is not from the end buyer, I will stop replying. Thank you.
