![]() Hi there!
Does anyone do it here? Saw some nice deals lately and I thought it could be pretty profitable... for example bridal dresses for a few hundred dollars (w free shipping) -> http://www.BenefitBridal.com (loads slowly), where renting one here costs at least 300-400euros (~400-500 usd). or ordering stuff from alibaba.com (first just a few samples then bigger volumes). If somebody does it here, can you post some nice tips how to start and some do/donts? Thanks ![]()

Email me directly at [email protected]. In the email remind me of this GFY post, and let me know what country you are in. I will give you some advice specific to wedding gowns.

I do It in Sweden for neon signs. Clothes/dresses can be risky though as the quality usually sucks.

Yeah, Vera Wang Wedding Gowns for $200. You should totally sell them in the U.S. You'll make mad money!
Unfortunately, the second Vera Wang finds your site, you'll have to give her 5x what you made. So you may want to stick to ordering them and getting a stock supply, then selling them at flea markets on the weekends.

I have a couple of clients who do this, one of them goes out to China to meet with the manufacturers before he buys so i doubt that is relevant to you. Another has done a lot through AliBaba, he gave me quite a lot of good advice on it, but to much to write here.
Remembering Import Tax is very good advice though especially if you are importing a lot, and also remembers they decide what the value of the item is for tax, doesn't matter what you paid or YOU think it is worth. Apart from that, do background checks on the company and probably only go for companies on AliBaba who are like 3+ Years Gold suppliers. Getting samples is a good idea to before a big order.

low cost brides
Don't know about shipping, but next to my post office box, is a bridal gown store and you can get dresses for almost nothing. $10-$300
Beautiful dresses. Welcome to America. |

i used to import shoes with wheels in the heels...we did alright with them for awhile, didn't get rich off of it, but it was a nice learning experience.
It is best if you know someone from where you are buying, we have connections in Korea and China. We don't do that anymore, my wife watches our kids and i do what i do. how are you planning to sell the items? in an actual storefront? or online? |

I was looking at this place to buy Chinese products. http://www.dhgate.com/
They seem to be like Escrow.com. You buy the stuff and pay them, they release the funds to the seller when you let them know you have received your goods. I HAVE NOT USED THIS SITE YET!!! Don't blame me if something goes wrong. |

If you're in the EU look into wedding dresses here. They are reasonable. Also great for hiring. In the UK I was told hiring a wedding dress was very hard and people were flying here to get them for the week and shipping them back.
We hired a bridesmaids dress for our daughter, to go to my niece's wedding in England. Cost very little, we had the dress for a week and my daughter looked like a princess in the outfit. |

Depends on the item and seller. One of my contacts has no min but another one has a 1,000 item min. Always try to haggle the item price. They post the item is x amount but with some haggling you will always get it cheaper. Only fools pay the prices listed.

A friend of mine has a source where he orders sports jerseys for and he makes some really nice profit and he can sell the jerseys for pretty cheap to. I'm not sure how they get away with it though because they have the "Official Merchandise" tags on them to. Some of the styles are better than others, but overall, they're pretty nice.

Not sure if this is relevant, but selling products/gadgets from US to Philippines is pretty profitable too, US products/gadgets are aw'fully expensive here in Phil

That adds around 10-20% to the price, so if the thing you import is cheap, then it's worth it..

![]() I bought two vga-dvi covertors and both are piece of crap, worked two weeks and went gone. and there is no real warranty becouse of high postal charges when you want to send it back. My wife bought a lot of stuff there, but everything what i have seen is crap - toys, clothing, gadgets. I know there is a lot of reselers of those stuff in SK, take a look at mimibazar or bazos.sk and you will see. But I'm not satisfied as a buyer with those things, it's cheap and it looks like cheap, works like cheap.. a lot of complaint from customers. |
