Good luck mate. I'm pretty much doing the same thing. About the same amount too of money invested too.

 

In contact with a couple of Chinese suppliers of the goods I'm gonna be selling. If anyone has any tips to make as sure as possible that it's a legit company who won't rip me off then please do let me know.

I have a few questions for you

 

 

what website did you use to find them?(you can pm me if you want to keep it on the DL) what payment method are they asking for?  Do they respond pretty fast to the emails/skype messages you send them? do they just sell products similar to what your buying or do they sell things like iphone cases and then ipads? Do they want 100% upfront? do they offer samples? if so what is the cost for 1 sample and what is the transit time? do they try to rush you to buy from them? Will they give you their company's  address and phone number?

 

 

 

Ideally you want a supplier that does all of the following:

 

 

• has been in business for 3+ years
• responds within 24 hrs to emails
• Offers TT(bank wire), paypal. or escrow as a payment
• sells only products that are similar(like an iPhone case, and hairbands those are all the same material )
• never do business with a company that wont give you a sample(usually cost $30-$50)   However I am not needing a sample for my product this time but they still would have offered it.
• Never sent payments to personal names as it could be an upset worker only send to company's(or you can send to a personal name if your 100% sure its the owner of the company)
• gives you their phone number and address right away within 2-3 mins id say would be good but you can judge it
• Look up the address and phone number to be sure that the address is registered to the same company you are dealing with.
• 30% upfront and 70% before they send out the product would be ideal, however most require 100% upfront. Some may make you only pay some upfront and the rest after you receive your product however this is rare

 

 

 

 

Thats all i have for you right now that is all the research i did with all the company's i spoke with and recommenced you do too. Now keep in mind you are never 100% guaranteed but doing research like listed above will help you greatly decrease you risk.

 

 

 

Hope this helps you!

Yeah I pretty much checked those things. Specialized in one type of product (no fake brand name shit), can get samples, they are a legal entity who are registered, business registration number found on some chinese government website, got an address and phone number + fax.

 

Still feels like a risk though. But if I'm too much of a pussy to take risks I'll never make bank. I've encountered those obvious scams too btw. Brb iphones for 180 dollar and a random bunch of popular shit for sale on their site. Mailing me 5 times in a row without a reply. No thanks Jeff.

 

I just hope I'm gonna make it. Good luck to you to bro.

Don't bullfuck us

 

 

what do you mean?

 

Goodluck man, hope you make enough to satisfy yourself 

good luck hope you get a huge capital gain

I had a slight scare this am i woke up to a skype message saying the payment was sent to the wrong name. I was nervous as all get out because my receipt from the bank said it was correct I was thinking great here we go $1295 down the drain, but after calling the bank 2ce i figured out the issue was there was an extra U added to the name and it didn't show up on the receipt.

 

 

 

Glad thats fixed now just time to wait to get the 500 items then its time to go out and pitch to company's.
