How do you find a supplier?

Unless you live in the US forget World wide brands...their are quite a few threads on the Forums from people who have had problems.
I joined a couple of years ago and found them useless, 99% of their dropshippers are based in the US and if you don't live and ship inside the US they don't want to know about you.

 

Thanks for sharing that Cyclops.

Kind of dissapointing though

 

Thanks for posting that...I am looking at more of a UK market.

It depends on the manf. Just talk with one of there sales reps. I would tell them you are going to do a fair amount of volume.

 

Does anyone have any experience using Global Sources to get products from China?

 

What do you want ??

Maybe I can help you

I am in Hong Kong

 

we should set up a forum or thread for international trading. we should try to use our resources together.

 

What type of Product are you looking to sell? As far as quantity is concerned the more you Buy the cheaper It will be for you. I have my own jewelry business & I try to sell on the Internet & through catalogs.

I primarily deal with suppliers who have a Low Minimum order policy. I'm not rich so basically I only buy around $250

If i was to buy $100,000 worth of jewelry then I would be able to get the same pieces of Jewelry for a lot Less. So if you have a lot of $$ then you would definetly get your merchandise a lot cheaper.

Also have you ever thought about Buying from China? I found this site that has thousands of Chinese Companies that deal with 1000's of different products. The site Is alibaba

can't post Links yet because im a new member. But i'm sure you will be able to find It on a Google search

Check it out.

alibaba is MAJOR load of links. Be carful there is many agents they do not have any factory they just tell you they do anything and get fat money. Loads of Nigerians sending you spams about what they can do for you and never do it. Be sure you talking direct to a factory.

 

Good advice Yellowberry.org and good thread!

 

Alibaba was good a couple of years ago but as Yellowberry said now you have to be very very careful who you do business with.

 

If some one have question about thailand and import export just drop me a PM and i will be happy to answer

 

I went to alkinds of dropshippers, some i even had to pay for, and shipping was so slow, with all my research i found myself a good dropshipper , I communicated back and forth with the owner of the site its a smaller business but they take the time out for their customers, they were very informative and polite with me, I usually get a lot of my cellphones through them, they offer free shipping and good prices on them and the shipment was pretty fast.
