    Dilemma: buy from wholesaler vs. trying to find overseas manufacturer

    Would you recommend any other channel or you don't think it would be worth it in general? Would you say it's the dollar amount in total that would make it difficult (meaning only charging $15) or because there isn't much of a profit margin?

    Dilemma: buy from wholesaler vs. trying to find overseas manufacturer

    Sorry, I should have specified. I would ONLY sell these in groups of at least 5 units. There are similar products available on Amazon but they are cheaply made and tend to be those "pop up" stores with weird names and fake reviews.

    Dilemma: buy from wholesaler vs. trying to find overseas manufacturer

    Sourcing products that other companies import

    SOURCING 
    Thank you all for the replies. I definitely want to at least try to obtain the product that is already produced; it is not branded at all and I know it is high quality so I would prefer just to take the existing product.

    Sourcing products that other companies import

    SOURCING 
    To keep it short, I am trying to find the best way to source a particular product from China. There's a wholesaler here in the US that sells this product but does a terrible job of marketing it and I don't want to purchase from them wholesale; I want to go right to the source and cut my COGS...
