How do I find the manufacturer of a product and bypass the retailer?

For example, if I make a product using craft products purchased from Michael's how can I bypass Michaels and go right to the manufacturer so I'm not paying for additional charges? Is this legal? What if the product is made in China?

Answer:
SURE YOU CAN . YOU CAN GO TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL ASK HOW MANY CONTAINERS YOU WANT TO BUY A YEAR AND THEY WILL START THERE . WHEN YOU SAY CONTAINERS - THEY WILL GIVE YOU A DIAL TONE . NEXT QUESTION FROM YOU WILL BE HOW DO I GET AROUND WAL-MART PROBABLY AND GO DIRECT .
Products usually have the manufacturer's name on them.
And it is legal to bypass the distributor. But the mfgr will probably have an exclusive contract for distribution with the distributor (unless he is a total idiot).
HAVE YOU TRIED LOOKING THE PRODUCT UP ON THE WEB OR IS THERE AN ADDRESS ON THE PACKAGE? I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE AND GOT IT FOR ABOUT HALF OFF. GOOD LUCK.
If you have a sample of their product look at the product and/or any literature that came with the product.

If you don't have a sample of their product do a search on the Name of the Company you're interested in contacting. Their websites always have contact info.

I think you need a Chinese person to help you find what you need in China, and I know a website can provide the service , the service is called "Person to Person" http://www.knowhowing.com/persontoperson. , through the service you just like engage a "agent" in China to help you to find what you need in China.
