@Walter Hay - first of all thanks for all your contribution in the field of importing. I am interested in importing as I do have a product that I wish to sell here in my country.
I read and re-read this thread, took some notes and am trying your advice as a newbie. I do have a couple of questions though just to insure that I am moving along correctly.
1. I did a search for a product and found a couple of search results (Assessed Supplier - checked). I saw that these 3 products are from one Verified Supplier or Company, so I clicked on the company itself to be redirected to its own alibaba page. I did noticed something, on the company's own alibaba page, there is a contact supplier option which is different from those from the product results page. Does this indicate that the Contact Supplier name in the product result page can possibly be a wholesaler and not the manufacturer itself?
2. I have been going through a couple of suppliers and their assessment report has been verified mostly by Bureau Veritas, is this as trust worthy as INTERTEK, SGS, SINOTRUST?
3. When contacting the suppliers, you said to introduce yourself as a Established Importer, does using a generic email like gmail, yahoo, etc...a concern to them?
4. Once I find a supplier and ready to order just a couple of the product < minimum, to test the market, the options of payment are: T/T,Western Union,MoneyGram,Paypal. Its a no to consider WU, what other types of payment is considered safe?
Thank you in advance sir.
