Part 2/8:
The outcry from hundreds of suppliers, many of whom have dedicated years to nurturing relationships and providing quality products to Sunning, encapsulates the desperation felt across the board. One prominent supplier of goji berries shared her harrowing tale, noting that after supplying Sunning from 2018 to 2022 and winning accolades for her work, she is left counting unpaid debts and helplessness as the company defaults.
Another supplier, whose nose hair trimmers and razors were prominent on Sunning's platforms, recalls the decision to move all product listings to their channels, viewing it as an opportunity. However, his experience soon became a cautionary tale as Sunning shifted payment terms, ultimately leading to a staggering 10 million yen owed, a majority of which remains unpaid.
