    It won't include VAT and Duty. The courier pays the duty charge when the product reaches customs and will then charge you for it a week or two after. Things to remember: Duty... Typically ranges between 0 - 17%. Duty = Product Cost + Shipping Cost + Insurance I.e: I pay £250 for product...

    Walter, Thanks for contributing some great value to this forum. When you source a technical product from a supplier, for examples sake let's say I source colour changing LED flood lights, do you try to get the suppliers 1 year warranty in writing? How would you go about this to ensure you...

    If this is the case, like you said, try to take some better photos and try to improve your description - I don't know if it will change anything, but it's the best bet. This worries me - you're severely limiting yourself if you are only selling things that fit in a postbox. Can you not find...

    Congrats on getting your first sales. I have no idea what you're selling but they must be a small inexpensive items to only profit on average £1.4 per item. I'm just going to do some guesswork and say the reason you're not seeing more sales is because these items are already very saturated...

    And on top of this I can't stress enough that in order to get great sample deals and co-operation, portray yourself as an established importer straight from the first contact. Never let them think you're doing this out your bedroom. Portray yourself as a multimillion $ importing company -...

    It's definitely possible to get ripped off by sellers on AliExpress, just like it is on any other site like this. If you can only double your investment on this item you've found, it wouldn't concern me too much. It's not like it's incredible 500% margins or whatever so the item cost wouldn't...

    AliExpress can be great for receiving samples and for looking through possible profitable products. However Alibaba is very good if you use it correctly. If a 'manufacturer' told me he'd check the warehouse to make sure he has the exact product in stock, i'd doubt that they are actually a...

    Awesome thread, still have a lot to cover but it's getting very late and I just have one question before I call it a night.. I've been looking around all day and just getting to grips with all of this and think I've stumbled across a product that is not only selling on eBay, but also at a...
