How can I make sure I don't get screwed over when my supplier handles shipping?
SOURCINGGoing off what @biophase said, you're gonna pay about $400 in import broker fees if you don't have an annual import bond. Roughly $335 if you do. I recommend going the Uhaul route because you'll learn the process of picking up a shipment, but do expect an inconvenience.- AgainstAllOdds

More time vs More Money? What would you do?

Once you have actual business experience, move onto outsourcing, websites, etc. With an aggregator site you need a lot of skills: managing the outsourcing, marketing the website, cash to pay for the...- AgainstAllOdds
