    I import container loads of product from china and sell on my ecom sites.
    I started by having products dropshipped from other people to my customers. Then I bought larger quantities from my US suppliers and shipped direct to my customers then I found the supplier in china and started importing.
    I also dropship fo4 5 other ecommerce sites.

    What type of partnership?
    Are you interested in importing products?
    What exactly are you looking for the partner to do? Put up the money? Develop the site(s)? Marketing etc?

    It would be great if you could provide some example and tell us "look, this is how much Thing X costs in Wal-mart, and see how much it costs when we import & send it to client Y".

    Could you handle delivering that stuff too? Like... if some guy wants to buy The Simpsons Movie, could you get your hands on that and send it? Or... is it like that if I want to sell printer paper, you can get it?

    What kind of stuff you are importing? Giving an example would be great.

    Yea, we are a sourcing company, you tell us what you want and we will find it, Also work with factorys to manufacture things exactly how you want it.

    We cannot drop-ship from China, the shipping costs from Mainland China are too expensive, if you see on eBay all the drop-shippers are from Hong Kong where its much cheaper to drop-ship.

    If you tell me you want to sell Printer paper, we would start sourcing, get in contact with factorys, then present you with the quotes. We then place the order and take care of the quality control, payment and then finally the shipping.

    All products will be shipped by container's so I dont think you could purchase just one t-shirt as it will cost you too much for transport

    In most cases it wouldnt be worth it, nor would the factorys supply items like this.

    Ideally you would be ordering qtys of atleast 500pcs.

    Yea sure, if you need 1000 laptops, we could work with the factory to make the spec you want.

    We cannot supply brand names like sony etc.. but maybe you could start your own brand name.

    Very easy... Create a logo and put that on the laptops. :D

    To be a successful brand then its down to your marketing skills.
