Tips for Negotiating with Chinese Manufacture
I'd imagine it depends on multiple factors. Have you at all mentioned that you are on a very fixed timeline for production? Because pushing to get these details sorted in a matter of 50ish hours would put you at a big disadvantage if they sensed your urgency, I think. This also depends on the...- Ajita

Tips for Negotiating with Chinese Manufacture
From what I remember reading in Walter's thread, one of the best ways to negotiate with a manufacturer on price, without coming off as "rude" is to show a quote from at least one other manufacturer with their lower price (with their company information and important details censored). This may...- Ajita

Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like
GOLD!One thing to check is the specific type of delivery truck it will come on. On a recent shipment I received (two pallets), I specified a truck with a lift gate so that it could be delivered to my residential address.

Where's the Line between Hustling for Free Advertising and Spam?

It may be powerful, but it's bullshit!
Love your illustrations hahaha. When I encounter the word "deserve", and the blind sense of entitlement that goes along with it, I struggle to not become immediately frustrated with the person flaunting such an attitude. I've also been seeing this way too much in advertising. That must mean...- Ajita
