How to deal with the frustration of not moving forward?

[Walter Hay]

Have contacted a supplier in China and they said it costs thousands to ship the product due to customs (I think it's just a rip off) how can shipping cost more than the product? doesn't make sense.

Cost of freight depends on many factors, and it is not unusual for freight cost to exceed the value of the product. The "due to customs" part doesn't ring true. It's true that Chinese suppliers have to pay fees, and exports have to go through Chinese Customs, but those things usually have little effect on the shipping cost.

If you do proceed with buying from China, beware of freight ripoffs. There are many scammers operating in the freight industry in China, and some other countries also.

I started to source from china, but quite disappointing so far. Seems like this whole supply chain thing is in distress currently. Next year will probably be really bad for most companies. So glad to work in the digital space.

If this is your first time trying to source from China, you should educate yourself on the subject first. As a start have a look at my AMA GOLD! Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist. You can ask questions there and I will help. It has grown to 62 pages, so you might like to have a look at my much smaller thread: NOTABLE!

There are many alternatives to sourcing from China, and you can see why here: CHINA PLUS ONE STRATEGY
