Each industry has its own policy and network for sales and distribution.  Sales of communication products usually occur through wholesalers who import in bulk for resale to small traders or distributers in the interior of the country.  Retailers often directly import luxury consumer goods. Generally, mining, utility, and industrial firms conduct heavy equipment purchases directly from suppliers. Service and customer support should not be expected, and are only possible if negotiated at the time of sale.  Guinea features many open-air marketplaces, numerous small shops, and a few medium-sized grocery stores.  A majority of consumer sales are completed within the informal (“black”) market.
