Buying bulk electronics from China ----- new route now

[daweeze02]

My friend and I were looking into selling the MP4 players and a few cell phone clones, but have no idea where to start. Money is not an issue, but we just need to be pointed in the direction to people we can trust. Does anyone know of any good sites that may help us.

Thanks

10lbs is not bulk. Just remember that.

hmm...I wonder if they sell bulk alternators?

 

[daweeze02]

I meant wholesale, bulk may have been bad wording. But it seems I found a place to start. www.alibaba.com looks like a decent starting point so I am checking that out now.

Umm your probably don't want to just wire hundreds of thousands of dollars to china without having at least met your supplier and toured his facilities.

water pump sized?

 

[IceBergSLiM]

And forget about suppliers do you have your distribution mapped out yet? Your going to sell them? Ok to who? Where? How will they get there?

is this 10lbs? alternator-sized?

alibaba.com is an excellent place to start.
It is how Chinese business gets done.

I think you are setting sail for fail if you import from a website.

alibaba.com is probably your bet

lots of shitty SHITTY products on that site though

Yea i see lots of junk, but its a starting point I guess. Do you recommend any others?

If you are going to do that site I would get 5 or 6 perspective companies. Take a trip to china to visit them. Choose the one your feel best about after that. Money is no problem so do your due dilligence.

My friends where thinking about it too but it always end up on finding someone you trust over there ... but yes make a trip out there a scope it out. Trick is finding a good business partner in china. gl!

Looks like I need to find a distributor over here in the US. After reading the forums at alibaba, there are tons of scams and knockoffs.....go figure. If anyone knows places to look , please let me know thanks.
